A modified accelerated monotone iterative method for finite difference reaction-diffusion-convection equations (Q534249)

The author constructs a new monotone iterative method, called the modified accelerated monotone iterative (MAMI) method for solving finite difference systems of a class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion-convection equations with nonlinear boundary conditions, including time-dependent systems and their corresponding steady-state systems. This method preserves the same monotone and quadratic convergence as the known accelerated monotone iterative (AMI) method. It improves the AMI method in the sense that the construction of sequences of iterations avoids computing local maxima in each iteration and the computation is easily carried out. It yields two sequences of iterations that converge monotonically from above and below to the unique solution of the system. The presented numerical result coincides with the analysis. The MAMI method is shown to be preferable for numerical computations especially for complicated nonlinear functions.
