Abstract

In this work, for the first time, stable and economical compact finite-difference schemes of order of accuracy 2 + 4 and 4 + 4 are constructed for the simplest parabolic equation, based on the idea of the method of lines and Runge–Kutta methods for solving systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In constructing the computational algorithm, only a three-point stencil is used for approximating the equation by the spatial variable, which allows us to use the well-known tridiagonal matrix algorithm for inverting the matrix in O(N) arithmetic operations, where N is the number of grid points in space. When constructing compact schemes of the same order based on the conventional integro-interpolation method leads only to absolutely unstable algorithms. Results of computational experiments are presented, illustrating the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
