AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR SOLVING DIFFUSION EQUATIONS

S. D. Algazin

UDC 519.632.4

An algorithm for solving  diffusion  equations is described 
which  has  an arbitrary  order of  approximation in  space 
variables, i.e., its accuracy is the higher,  the  smoother 
the solution in space variables. This provides an advantage 
over  difference  methods,  which  have  a  fixed  order of 
approximation  in  space   variables  irrespective  of  the 
solution  smoothness.  In  practice,  this allows one (with 
smooth initial data)  to carry  out  calculations on coarse 
space  grids  by  an  explicit  scheme with applicable time 
steps. The method is competitive with difference methods in 
speed and the amount of information stored.
