A Time-Splitting Method for Nonlinear Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Equations

Abstract A time-splitting method for nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equations is formulated and analyzed. The advection-reaction part is solved using a generalization of the nonstandard (nonlocal) time-stepping scheme developed by Kojouharov&Chen, while the diffusion part is computed using a standard (finite difference) scheme. The approach leads to significant qualitative improvements in the behavior of the solution and is demonstrated on several examples. This is joined work with H. Kojouharov, Dept. Math..
