摘要
The numerical solution of a nonlinear degenerate reaction-diffusion equation of the quenching type is investigated. While spatial derivatives are discretized over symmetric nonuniform meshes, a Peaceman-Rachford splitting method is employed to advance solutions of the semidiscretized system. The temporal step is determined adaptively through a suitable arc-length monitor function. A criterion is derived to ensure that the numerical solution acquired preserves correctly the positivity and monotonicity of the analytical solution. Weak stability is proven in a von Neumann sense via the infinity-norm. Computational examples are presented to illustrate our results. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
