Finite difference schemes for the parabolic \(p\)-Laplace equation (Q6067528): Difference between revisions

The authors propose a new finite difference scheme for the degenerate parabolic equation. Under the assumption that the data is Hölder continuous, the convergence of the explicit-in-time scheme is constructed for the Cauchy problem provided a suitable stability type CFL-condition. An important advantage of the approach is that the CFL-condition makes use of the regularity provided by the scheme to reduce the computational cost. In particular, for Lipschitz data, the CFL-condition is of the same order as for the heat equation and independent of \(p\). The work in this paper provides a new way for the difference method. It is very interesting and shows strong application value.
