An explicit method for convection-diffusion equations (Q2270600)

The authors approximate convection-diffusion equations with dominant convection by discretizing in space with piecewise linear finite elements combining with a non-standard explicit Euler scheme for the time integration. They prove that the numerical solution is stable in the \(L^\infty\)-norm in both space and time. Under some conditions they prove also the convergence of the approximations in the maximum norm for any space dimension. Some numerical examples are tested to illustrate the schemes.
