Multi-Dimensional Asymptotically Stable 4th Order Accurate Schemes for the Diffusion Equation.
Abstract
An algorithm is presented which solves the multi-dimensional diffusion equation on complex shapes to 4th-order accuracy and is asymptotically stable in time. This bounded-error result is achieved by constructing, on a rectangular grid, a differentiation matrix whose symmetric part is negative definite. The differentiation matrix accounts for the Dirichlet boundary condition by imposing penalty like terms. Numerical examples in 2-D show that the method is effective even where standard schemes, stable by traditional definitions fail.
