Abstract
A unified approach to high-order compact finite difference schemes for solving three-dimensional Poisson equations is derived. Notice that all high order compact finite difference schemes are linear combinations of the solution values at grid points and source terms at selected points. In the unified strategy, a parameter is introduced for the linear combination of the solution values at the compact finite difference stencil. In our approach, carefully chosen ’s lead to different fourth-order schemes. Carefully chosen linear combination of the source term at grid points will lead to different fourth-order schemes. If additional points such as the middle points are used, sixth-order schemes can be achieved if the solutions with certain symmetries. The convergence proof is provided for the new unified scheme based on the -matrix condition along with non-trivial numerical examples.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
