Compact Difference Methods Applied to Initial-Boundary Value Problems for Mixed Systems

Abstract: An initial-boundary value problem to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, which consists of a hyperbolic and a parabolic part, is taken into consideration. The problem is discretised by a compact finite difference method. An approximation of the numerical solution is constructed, at which the difference scheme is linearised. Nonlinear convergence is proved using the stability of the linearised scheme. Finally, a computational experiment for a noncompact scheme is presented.
