Error estimates of the finite volume scheme for the nonlinear tensor-driven anisotropic diffusion (Q2271405)

The paper deals with an error analysis of the semi-implicit diamond-cell finite volume scheme for the nonlinear tensor driven anisotropic diffusion. A finite volume scheme is introduced followed by the analysis of the error estimates. The solution based on a piecewise constant approximation for of the diffusion coefficient is compared with the weak solution of the problem.The numerical solutions are obtained for the images taken from the two-photon laser scanning microscopy which represent the corresponding cell membranes. Gauss-Seidel iterations are used to solve these systems of linear equations. The method appears to be effective for the biological structure.
