Finite difference scheme for parabolic problems on composite grids with refinement in time and space. (English)
[J] SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 31, No.6, 1605-1622 (1994). ISSN 0036-1429; ISSN 1095-7170/e

Authors' abstract: Finite difference schemes for transient convection- diffusion problems on grids with local refinement in time and space are constructed and studied. The construction utilizes a modified upwind approximation and linear interpolation at the slave nodes. The proposed schemes are implicit of the backward Euler type and are unconditionally stable. Error analysis in the maximum norm is presented, and convergence estimates for smooth solutions are derived. Optimal approximation results are shown for ratios between the spatial and time discretization parameters away from the CFL condition. Finally, numerical examples illustrating the theory are given.
