An exponential high‐order compact ADI method for 3D unsteady convection–diffusion problems

In this article, we develop an exponential high order compact alternating direction implicit (EHOC ADI) method for solving three dimensional (3D) unsteady convection–diffusion equations. The method, which requires only a regular seven‐point 3D stencil similar to that in the standard second‐order methods, is second order accurate in time and fourth‐order accurate in space and unconditionally stable. The resulting EHOC ADI scheme in each alternating direction implicit (ADI) solution step corresponding to a strictly diagonally dominant matrix equation can be solved by the application of the one‐dimensional tridiagonal Thomas algorithm with a considerable saving in computing time. Numerical experiments for three test problems are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the present method and to compare it with the classical Douglas–Gunn ADI method and the Karaa's high‐order compact ADI method. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Compact ADI method for solving parabolic differential equations

A compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method has been developed for solving two‐dimensional parabolic differential equations. In this study, the second‐order derivatives with respect to space are discretized using the high‐order compact finite differences. The Peaceman‐Rachford ADI method is then used for developing a new ADI scheme. It is shown by the discrete Fourier analysis that this new ADI scheme is unconditionally stable. The method can be generalized to the three‐dimensional case and an unconditionally stable compact Douglas ADI scheme is obtained. The method is illustrated by numerical examples. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 18: 129–142, 2002; DOI 10.1002/num.1037     

A high‐order compact ADI method for solving three‐dimensional unsteady convection‐diffusion problems

We derive a high‐order compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method for solving three‐dimentional unsteady convection‐diffusion problems. The method is fourth‐order in space and second‐order in time. It permits multiple uses of the one‐dimensional tridiagonal algorithm with a considerable saving in computing time and results in a very efficient solver. It is shown through a discrete Fourier analysis that the method is unconditionally stable in the diffusion case. Numerical experiments are conducted to test its high order and to compare it with the standard second‐order Douglas‐Gunn ADI method and the spatial fourth‐order compact scheme by Karaa. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A high‐order ADI finite difference scheme for a 3D reaction‐diffusion equation with neumann boundary condition

In this article, we extend the fourth‐order compact boundary scheme in Liao et al. (Numer Methods Partial Differential Equations 18 (2002), 340–354) to a 3D problem and then combine it with the fourth‐order compact alternating direction implicit (ADI) method in Gu et al. (J Comput Appl Math 155 (2003), 1–17) to solve the 3D reaction‐diffusion equation with Neumann boundary condition. First, the reaction‐diffusion equation is solved with a compact fourth‐order finite difference method based on the Padé approximation, which is then combined with the ADI method and a fourth‐order compact scheme to approximate the Neumann boundary condition, to obtain fourth order accuracy in space. The accuracy in the temporal dimension is improved to fourth order by applying the Richardson extrapolation technique, although the unconditional stability of the numerical method is proved, and several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed new algorithm. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A fourth-order compact ADI method for solving two-dimensional unsteady convection–diffusion problems

In this article, an exponential high-order compact (EHOC) alternating direction implicit (ADI) method, in which the Crank–Nicolson scheme is used for the time discretization and an exponential fourth-order compact difference formula for the steady-state 1D convection–diffusion problem is used for the spatial discretization, is presented for the solution of the unsteady 2D convection–diffusion problems. The method is temporally second-order accurate and spatially fourth order accurate, which requires only a regular five-point 2D stencil similar to that in the standard second-order methods. The resulting EHOC ADI scheme in each ADI solution step corresponds to a strictly diagonally dominant tridiagonal matrix equation which can be inverted by simple tridiagonal Gaussian decomposition and may also be solved by application of the one-dimensional tridiagonal Thomas algorithm with a considerable saving in computing time. The unconditionally stable character of the method was verified by means of the discrete Fourier (or von Neumann) analysis. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the method proposed and to compare mostly it with the high order ADI method of Karaa and Zhang and the spatial third-order compact scheme of Note and Tan.

Maximum norm error bounds of ADI and compact ADI methods for solving parabolic equations

Alternating direction implicit (ADI) schemes are computationally efficient and widely utilized for numerical approximation of the multidimensional parabolic equations. By using the discrete energy method, it is shown that the ADI solution is unconditionally convergent with the convergence order of two in the maximum norm. Considering an asymptotic expansion of the difference solution, we obtain a fourth‐order, in both time and space, approximation by one Richardson extrapolation. Extension of our technique to the higher‐order compact ADI schemes also yields the maximum norm error estimate of the discrete solution. And by one extrapolation, we obtain a sixth order accurate approximation when the time step is proportional to the squares of the spatial size. An numerical example is presented to support our theoretical results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

A high order accurate numerical method for solving two‐dimensional dual‐phase‐lagging equation with temperature jump boundary condition in nanoheat conduction

Dual‐phase‐lagging (DPL) equation with temperature jump boundary condition (Robin's boundary condition) shows promising for analyzing nanoheat conduction. For solving it, development of higher‐order accurate and unconditionally stable (no restriction on the mesh ratio) numerical schemes is important. Because the grid size may be very small at nanoscale, using a higher‐order accurate scheme will allow us to choose a relative coarse grid and obtain a reasonable solution. For this purpose, recently we have presented a higher‐order accurate and unconditionally stable compact finite difference scheme for solving one‐dimensional DPL equation with temperature jump boundary condition. In this article, we extend our study to a two‐dimensional case and develop a fourth‐order accurate compact finite difference method in space coupled with the Crank–Nicolson method in time, where the Robin's boundary condition is approximated using a third‐order accurate compact method. The overall scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable and convergent with the convergence rate of fourth‐order in space and second‐order in time. Numerical errors and convergence rates of the solution are tested by two examples. Numerical results coincide with the theoretical analysis. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An IMEX‐BDF2 compact scheme for pricing options under regime‐switching jump‐diffusion models

In this paper, an implicit‐explicit two‐step backward differentiation formula (IMEX‐BDF2) together with finite difference compact scheme is developed for the numerical pricing of European and American options whose asset price dynamics follow the regime‐switching jump‐diffusion process. It is shown that IMEX‐BDF2 method for solving this system of coupled partial integro‐differential equations is stable with the second‐order accuracy in time. On the basis of IMEX‐BDF2 time semi‐discrete method, we derive a fourth‐order compact (FOC) finite difference scheme for spatial discretization. Since the payoff function of the option at the strike price is not differentiable, the results show only second‐order accuracy in space. To remedy this, a local mesh refinement strategy is used near the strike price so that the accuracy achieves fourth order. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for European and American options under regime‐switching jump‐diffusion models.     

Singly diagonally implicit runge‐kutta method for time‐dependent reaction‐diffusion equation

In this article, an efficient fourth‐order accurate numerical method based on Padé approximation in space and singly diagonally implicit Runge‐Kutta method in time is proposed to solve the time‐dependent one‐dimensional reaction‐diffusion equation. In this scheme, we first approximate the spatial derivative using the second‐order central finite difference then improve it to fourth‐order by applying Padé approximation. A three stage fourth‐order singly diagonally implicit Runge‐Kutta method is then used to solve the resulting system of ordinary differential equations. It is also shown that the scheme is unconditionally stable, and is suitable for stiff problems. Several numerical examples are solved by the scheme and the efficiency and accuracy of the new scheme are compared with two widely used high‐order compact finite difference methods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Convergence analysis of high-order compact alternating direction implicit schemes for the two-dimensional time fractional diffusion equation

High-order compact finite difference method with operator-splitting technique for solving the two dimensional time fractional diffusion equation is considered in this paper. The Caputo derivative is evaluated by the L1 approximation, and the second order derivatives with respect to the space variables are approximated by the compact finite differences to obtain fully discrete implicit schemes. Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method is used to split the original problem into two separate one dimensional problems. One scheme is given by replacing the unknowns by the values on the previous level directly and a correction term is added for another scheme. Theoretical analysis for the first scheme is discussed. The local truncation error is analyzed and the stability is proved by the Fourier method. Using the energy method, the convergence of the compact finite difference scheme is proved. Numerical results are provided to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the two proposed algorithms. For the order of the temporal derivative lies in different intervals $\left(0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$ or $\left[\frac{1}{2},1\right)$ , corresponding appropriate scheme is suggested.

Efficient energy‐preserving scheme of the three‐coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation

An energy‐preserving scheme is proposed for the three‐coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (T‐CNLS) equation. The T‐CNLS equation is rewritten into the classical Hamiltonian form. Then the spatial variable is discretized by using high‐order compact method to convert it into a finite‐dimensional Hamiltonian system. Next, a second‐order averaged vector field (AVF) method is employed in time which results in an energy‐preserving scheme. Some theoretical results such as convergence are investigated. In addition, it provides some numerical examples to illustrate the robustness and reliability of the theoretical results. It also explores the role of the parameters in the model and initial condition on the wave propagation.

A compact local one‐dimensional scheme for solving a 3D N‐carrier system with Neumann boundary conditions

We consider a mathematical model for thermal analysis in a 3D N‐carrier system with Neumann boundary conditions, which extends the concept of the well‐known parabolic two‐step model for micro heat transfer. To solve numerically the complex system, we first reduce 3D equations in the model to a succession of 1D equations by using the local one‐dimensional (LOD) method. The obtained 1D equations are then solved using a fourth‐order compact finite difference scheme for the interior points and a second‐order combined compact finite difference scheme for the points next to the boundary, so that the Neumann boundary condition can be applied directly without discretizing. By using matrix analysis, the compact LOD scheme is shown to be unconditionally stable. The accuracy of the solution is tested using two numerical examples. Results show that the solutions obtained by the compact LOD finite difference scheme are more accurate than those obtained by a Crank‐Nicholson LOD scheme, and the convergence rate with respect to spatial variables is about 2.6. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Development of a numerical phase optimized upwinding combined compact difference scheme for solving the Camassa–Holm equation with different initial solitary waves

In this article, the solution of Camassa–Holm (CH) equation is solved by the proposed two‐step method. In the first step, the sixth‐order spatially accurate upwinding combined compact difference scheme with minimized phase error is developed in a stencil of four points to approximate the first‐order derivative term. For the purpose of retaining both of the long‐term accurate Hamiltonian property and the geometric structure inherited in the CH equation, the time integrator used in this study should be able to conserve symplecticity. In the second step, the Helmholtz equation governing the pressure‐like variable is approximated by the sixth‐order accurate three‐point centered compact difference scheme. Through the fundamental and numerical verification studies, the integrity of the proposed high‐order scheme is demonstrated. Another aim of this study is to reveal the wave propagation nature for the investigated shallow water equation subject to different initial wave profiles, whose peaks take the smooth, peakon, and cuspon forms. The transport phenomena for the cases with/without inclusion of the linear first‐order advection term κu_x in the CH equation will be addressed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
