d03pec (dim1_parab_keller)
1
Purpose
d03pec integrates a system of linear or nonlinear, first-order, time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) in one space variable. The spatial discretization is performed using the Keller box scheme and the method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system is solved using a Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) method.

Description
d03pec integrates the system of first-order PDEs
In particular the functions
must have the general form
where
and
depend on
,
,
,
and the vector
is the set of solution values
and the vector
is its partial derivative with respect to
. Note that
and
must not depend on
.
The integration in time is from to , over the space interval , where and are the leftmost and rightmost points of a user-defined mesh . The mesh should be chosen in accordance with the expected behaviour of the solution.
The PDE system which is defined by the functions
must be specified in
pdedef.
The initial values of the functions
must be given at
. For a first-order system of PDEs, only one boundary condition is required for each PDE component
. The
npde boundary conditions are separated into
at the left-hand boundary
, and
at the right-hand boundary
, such that
. The position of the boundary condition for each component should be chosen with care; the general rule is that if the characteristic direction of
at the left-hand boundary (say) points into the interior of the solution domain, then the boundary condition for
should be specified at the left-hand boundary. Incorrect positioning of boundary conditions generally results in initialization or integration difficulties in the underlying time integration functions.
The boundary conditions have the form:
at the left-hand boundary, and
at the right-hand boundary.
Note that the functions
and
must not depend on
, since spatial derivatives are not determined explicitly in the Keller box scheme (see
Keller (1970)). If the problem involves derivative (Neumann) boundary conditions then it is generally possible to restate such boundary conditions in terms of permissible variables. Also note that
and
must be linear with respect to time derivatives, so that the boundary conditions have the general form
at the left-hand boundary, and
at the right-hand boundary, where
,
,
, and
depend on
,
and
only.
The boundary conditions must be specified in
bndary.
The problem is subject to the following restrictions:
-
(i), so that integration is in the forward direction;
-
(ii) and must not depend on any time derivatives;
-
(iii)The evaluation of the function is done at the mid-points of the mesh intervals by calling the pdedef for each mid-point in turn. Any discontinuities in the function must therefore be at one or more of the mesh points ;
-
(iv)At least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the problem.
In this method of lines approach the Keller box scheme (see
Keller (1970)) is applied to each PDE in the space variable only, resulting in a system of ODEs in time for the values of
at each mesh point. In total there are
ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a BDF method.

Accuracy
d03pec controls the accuracy of the integration in the time direction but not the accuracy of the approximation in space. The spatial accuracy depends on both the number of mesh points and on their distribution in space. In the time integration only the local error over a single step is controlled and so the accuracy over a number of steps cannot be guaranteed. You should therefore test the effect of varying the accuracy argument,
acc.

Parallelism and Performance
d03pec is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d03pec makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
The Keller box scheme can be used to solve higher-order problems which have been reduced to first-order by the introduction of new variables (see the example problem in
d03pkc). In general, a second-order problem can be solved with slightly greater accuracy using the Keller box scheme instead of a finite difference scheme (
d03pcc or
d03phc for example), but at the expense of increased CPU time due to the larger number of function evaluations required.
It should be noted that the Keller box scheme, in common with other central-difference schemes, may be unsuitable for some hyperbolic first-order problems such as the apparently simple linear advection equation
, where
is a constant, resulting in spurious oscillations due to the lack of dissipation. This type of problem requires a discretization scheme with upwind weighting (
d03pfc for example), or the addition of a second-order artificial dissipation term.
The time taken depends on the complexity of the system and on the accuracy requested.
