Numerical methods for nonlinear integro-parabolic equations of Fredholm type (Q5948758)

The author considers iterative methods for the numerical solution of a class of nonlocal reaction-diffusion-convection equations under either linear or nonlinear boundary conditions. The finite difference method is used for the discrete approximation of the problem. The finite difference solution is computed by the method of upper and lower solutions. Three types of quasi-monotone reaction functions are considered. A monotone iterative scheme is obtained. The monotone convergence leads to an existence and uniqueness theorem. Error estimates are also obtained for each iterative scheme. Three model problems are given.
