Well-posedness of the modified Crank-Nicolson difference schemes in Bochner spaces (Q2641664)

The author considers the boundary value problem \(v^\prime(t) + Av(t) = f(t)\), \(0 \leq t \leq 1\), \(v(0) = v(\lambda)+\mu\), \(0 < \lambda \leq 1\) in an arbitrary Banach space, where \(A\) is a strongly positive operator. The problem is discretized in time by a modified Crank-Nicolson difference scheme. The almost coercivity inequality and the coercive stability in Bochner spaces of the modified Crank-Nicolson method is established. The presented abstract results are applied to investigate the difference scheme for a \(2m\)-order multidimensional parabolic equation.
