This study aims to apply a numerical meshless method, namely, the boundary knot method (BKM) combined with the meshless analog equation method (MAEM) in space and use a semi-implicit scheme in time for finding a new numerical solution of the advection–reaction–diffusion and reaction–diffusion systems in two-dimensional spaces, which arise in biology.

First, the BKM is applied to approximate the spatial variables of the studied mathematical models. Then, this study derives fully discrete scheme of the studied models using a semi-implicit scheme based on Crank–Nicolson idea, which gives a linear system of algebraic equations with a non-square matrix per time step that is solved by the singular value decomposition. The proposed approach approximates the solution of a given partial differential equation using particular and homogeneous solutions and without considering the fundamental solutions of the proposed equations.

This study reports some numerical simulations for showing the ability of the presented technique in solving the studied mathematical models arising in biology. The obtained results by the developed numerical scheme are in good agreement with the results reported in the literature. Besides, a simulation of the proposed model is done on buttery shape domain in two-dimensional space.

This study develops the BKM combined with MAEM for solving the coupled systems of (advection) reaction–diffusion equations in two-dimensional spaces. Besides, it does not need the fundamental solution of the mathematical models studied here, which omits any difficulties.

This article offered two meshfree algorithms, namely the local radial basis functions-finite difference (LRBF-FD) approximation and local radial basis functions-differential quadrature method (LRBF-DQM) to simulate the multidimensional hyperbolic wave models and work is an extension of Jiwari (2015).

In the evolvement of the first algorithm, the time derivative is discretized by the forward FD scheme and the Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for the rest of the terms. After that, the LRBF-FD approximation is used for spatial discretization and quasi-linearization process for linearization of the problem. Finally, the obtained linear system is solved by the LU decomposition method. In the development of the second algorithm, semi-discretization in space is done via LRBF-DQM and then an explicit RK4 is used for fully discretization in time.

For simulation purposes, some 1D and 2D wave models are pondered to instigate the chastity and competence of the developed algorithms.

The developed algorithms are novel for the multidimensional hyperbolic wave models. Also, the stability analysis of the second algorithm is a new work for these types of model.

This paper focuses on the unconditionally optimal error estimates of a linearized second-order scheme for a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem. The first step of the scheme is based on Crank–Nicholson method while the second step is the second-order BDF method.

A rigorous error analysis is done, and optimal L² error estimates are derived using the error splitting technique. Some numerical simulations are presented to confirm the study’s theoretical analysis.

Optimal L² error estimates and energy norm.

The goal of this research article is to present and establish the unconditionally optimal error estimates of a linearized second-order BDF finite element scheme for the reaction-diffusion problem. An optimal error estimate for the proposed methods is derived by using the temporal-spatial error splitting techniques, which split the error between the exact solution and the numerical solution into two parts, that is, the temporal error and the spatial error. Since the spatial error is not dependent on the time step, the boundedness of the numerical solution in L∞-norm follows an inverse inequality immediately without any restriction on the grid mesh.

An efficient and robust time discretization procedure of theta type is proposed in the frame of the finite element‐circuit equation coupling for electronic circuits with switches, i.e. the use of diodes, thyristors and transistors. This procedure enables the use of the Crank‐Nicolson scheme whatever the circuit and its working conditions by eliminating the undesirable oscillations of the solution peculiar to this scheme. It is based on the accurate determination of the switching instants and on a local modification of the theta parameter.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) numerical solutions in the presence of the first-order chromatic dispersion using a second-order, unconditionally stable, implicit finite difference method. In addition, stability and accuracy are proved for the resulting scheme.

The conserved quantities such as mass, momentum and energy are calculated for the system governed by the NLSE. Moreover, the robustness of the scheme is confirmed by conducting various numerical tests using the Crank-Nicolson method on different cases of solitons to discuss the effects of the factor considered on solitons properties and on conserved quantities.

The Crank-Nicolson scheme has been derived to solve the NLSE for optical fibers in the presence of the wave packet drift effects. It has been founded that the numerical scheme is second-order in time and space and unconditionally stable by using von-Neumann stability analysis. The effect of the parameters considered in the study is displayed in the case of one, two and three solitons. It was noted that the reliance of NLSE numeric solutions properties on coefficients of wave packets drift, dispersions and Kerr nonlinearity play an important control not only the stable and unstable regime but also the energy, momentum conservation laws. Accordingly, by comparing our numerical results in this study with the previous work, it was recognized that the obtained results are the generalized formularization of these work. Also, it was distinguished that our new data are regarding to the new communications modes that depend on the dispersion, wave packets drift and nonlinearity coefficients.

The present study uses the first-order chromatic. Also, it highlights the relationship between the parameters of dispersion, nonlinearity and optical wave properties. The study further reports the effect of wave packet drift, dispersions and Kerr nonlinearity play an important control not only the stable and unstable regime but also the energy, momentum conservation laws.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain numerical solutions of a two‐dimensional mixed space‐time PDE modelling the flow of a second‐grade.

The paper derives conditionally stable Crank‐Nicolson schemes to solve both the one and two dimensional mixed‐space time PDE. For the two‐dimensional case we implement the Crank‐Nicolson scheme using a Peaceman‐Rachford ADI scheme.

For zero‐shear boundaries the Cattanneo representation of the model equation blows up whilst the representation derived by Rajagopal is stable and produces solutions which decay over time.

The use of a Peaceman‐Rachford ADI scheme to solve a mixed space‐time PDE is both novel and new.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel universal error estimator and the adaptive time-stepping process in the generalized single-step single-solve (GS4-1) computational framework, applied for the fluid dynamics with illustrations to incompressible Navier–Stokes equations.

The proposed error estimator is universal and versatile that it works for the entire subsets of the GS4-1 framework, encompassing the nondissipative Crank–Nicolson method, the most dissipative backward differential formula and anything in between. It is new and novel that the cumbersome design work of error estimation for specific time integration algorithms can be avoided. Regarding the numerical implementation, the local error estimation has a compact representation that it is determined by the time derivative variables at four successive time levels and only involves vector operations, which is simple for numerical implementation. Additionally, the adaptive time-stepping is further illustrated by the proposed error estimator and is used to solve the benchmark problems of lid-driven cavity and flow past a cylinder.

The proposed computational procedure is capable of eliminating the nonphysical oscillations in GS4-1(1,1)/Crank–Nicolson method; being CPU-efficient in both dissipative and nondissipative schemes with better solution accuracy; and detecting the complex physics and hence selecting a suitable time step according to the user-defined error threshold.

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time, this study applies the general purpose GS4-1 family of time integration algorithms for transient simulations of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in fluid dynamics with constant and adaptive time steps via a novel and universal error estimator. The proposed computational framework is simple for numerical implementation and the time step selection based on the proposed error estimation is efficient, benefiting to the computational expense for transient simulations.

The purpose of this paper is to study haemodynamic flow characteristics and entropy analysis in a bifurcated artery system subjected to stenosis, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and aneurysm conditions. The findings of this study offer significant insights into the intricate interplay encompassing electro-osmosis, MHD flow, microorganisms, Joule heating and the ternary hybrid nanofluid.

The governing equations are first non-dimensionalised, and subsequently, a coordinate transformation is used to regularise the irregular boundaries. The discretisation of the governing equations is accomplished by using the Crank–Nicolson scheme. Furthermore, the tri-diagonal matrix algorithm is applied to solve the resulting matrix arising from the discretisation.

The investigation reveals that the velocity profile experiences enhancement with an increase in the Debye–Hückel parameter, whereas the magnetic field parameter exhibits the opposite effect, reducing the velocity profile. A comparative study demonstrates the velocity distribution in Au-CuO hybrid nanofluid and Au-CuO-GO ternary hybrid nanofluid. The results indicate a notable enhancement in velocity for the ternary hybrid nanofluid compared to the hybrid nanofluids. Moreover, an increase in the Brinkmann number results in an augmentation in entropy generation.

This study investigates the flow characteristics and entropy analysis in a bifurcated artery system subjected to stenosis, MHD flow and aneurysm conditions. The governing equations are non-dimensionalised, and a coordinate transformation is applied to regularise the irregular boundaries. The Crank–Nicolson scheme is used to model blood flow in the presence of a ternary hybrid nanofluid (Au-CuO-GO/blood) within the arterial domain. The findings shed light on the complex interactions involving stenosis, MHD flow, aneurysms, Joule heating and the ternary hybrid nanofluid. The results indicate a decrease in the wall shear stress (WSS) profile with increasing stenosis size. The MHD effects are observed to influence the velocity distribution, as the velocity profile exhibits a declining nature with an increase in the Hartmann number. In addition, entropy generation increases with an enhancement in the Brinkmann number. This research contributes to understanding fluid dynamics and heat transfer mechanisms in bifurcated arteries, providing valuable insights for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new approach to the numerical simulation of shallow‐water flows both in plane domains and on the sphere.

The approach involves the technique of splitting of the model operator by geometric coordinates and by physical processes. Specially chosen temporal and spatial approximations result in one‐dimensional finite difference schemes that conserve the mass and the total energy. Therefore, the mass and the total energy of the whole two‐dimensional split scheme are kept constant too.

Explicit expressions for the schemes of arbitrary approximation orders in space are given. The schemes are shown to be mass‐ and energy‐conserving, and hence absolutely stable because the square root of the total energy is the norm of the solution. The schemes of the first four approximation orders are then tested by simulating nonlinear solitary waves generated by a model topography. In the analysis, the primary attention is given to the study of the time‐space structure of the numerical solutions.

The approach can be used for the numerical simulation of shallow‐water flows in domains of both Cartesian and spherical geometries, providing the solution adequate from the physical and mathematical standpoints in the sense of keeping its mass and total energy constant even when fully discrete shallow‐water models are applied.
