Abstract
Abstract A second-order backward differentiation formula (BDF2) finite-volume discretization for a nonlinear cross-diffusion system arising in population dynamics is studied. The numerical scheme preserves the Rao entropy structure and conserves the mass. The existence and uniqueness of discrete solutions and their large-time behavior as well as the convergence of the scheme are proved. The proofs are based on the G-stability of the BDF2 scheme, which provides an inequality for the quadratic Rao entropy and hence suitable a priori estimates. The novelty is the extension of this inequality to the system case. Some numerical experiments in one and two space dimensions underline the theoretical results.
期刊介绍:
The highly selective international mathematical journal Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics (CMAM) considers original mathematical contributions to computational methods and numerical analysis with applications mainly related to PDEs.
CMAM seeks to be interdisciplinary while retaining the common thread of numerical analysis, it is intended to be readily readable and meant for a wide circle of researchers in applied mathematics.
The journal is published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Science of Belarus.
