A numerical simulation for a model of wood drying process is considered. The model is given by a couple of nonlinear differential equations. One is a nonlinear parabolic equation and the other one is a nonlinear ordinary equation. A difference scheme is derived by the method of reduction of order. First, a new variable is introduced and the original problem is rewritten into a system of the first-order differential equations. Secondly, a difference scheme is constructed for the later problem. The solvability, stability and convergence of the difference scheme are proved by the energy method. The convergence order of the difference scheme is secondorder both in time and in space. A prior error estimate is put forward. The new variable is put aside to reduce the computational cost. A numerical example testifies the theoretical result.
In this paper, a new conservative finite difference scheme with a parameter θ is proposed for the initial-boundary problem of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov （KGZ） equations. Convergence of the numerical solutions are proved with order O（h^2 ＋τ^2） in the energy norm. Numerical results show that the scheme is accurate and efficient.
A new conservative finite difference scheme is presented based on the numerical analysis for an initialboundary value problem of a class of Schroedinger equation with the wave operator. The scheme can be linear and implicit or explicit based on the parameter choice. The initial value after discretization has second-order accuracy that is consistent with the scheme accuracy. The existence and the uniqueness of the difference solution are proved. Based on the priori estimates and an inequality about norms, the stability and the convergence of difference solutions with the second-order are proved in the energy norm. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the new scheme.
In this paper, two finite difference schemes are presented for initial-boundary value problems of Regularized Long-Wave(RLW) equation. They all have the advantages that there are discrete energies which are conserved. Convergence and stability of difference solutions with order O(h2+τ2) are proved in the energy norm. Numerical experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
