An accuracy-preserving numerical scheme for parabolic partial differential equations subject to discontinuities in boundary conditions

作者:

Highlights:

• Demonstration of loss of accuracy for the Keller box method when applied to a parabolic partial differential equation subject to a discontinuous boundary condition.

• Asymptotic analysis to derive a numerical method to recover accuracy.

• Demonstration of recovery of second-order accuracy using a boundary immobilization-like strategy.

• Substantial improvement on earlier methods for parabolic partial differential equations subject to discontinuous boundary conditions.
