Stability of difference schemes for parabolic equations with dynamical boundary conditions and conditions on conjugation (Q1774893): Difference between revisions

The authors prove stability results for difference schemes for parabolic equations. Most results are for one space dimension but a section for a weakly-parabolic equation in two dimensions is included. The authors emphasize the connection to abstract Cauchy problems in Hilbert spaces for both energy estimates and estimates on the maximal time step for stability of the difference schemes. In one space dimension, three equations are considered: a heat equation with concentrated capacity, a heat equation with a dynamical boundary condition (the time derivative on the unknown function is given at a boundary point) and a weakly parabolic equation is considered in both one and two dimensions. The results are verified with numerical examples.
