Stability of one-dim heat equation schemes.


he schemes ( Implicit scheme ),( Explicit scheme ),( Crank Nicolson ) take the following forms: MATH MATH MATH where the $\hat{u}$ notation introduced earlier refers to the $t$ -direction. We recall from the ( Laplace spectrum ) that MATH Hence, according to the spectral mapping theorem ( Spectral mapping ) MATH

MATH (Implicit spectrum)
MATH (Krank Nicolson spectrum)
In every case it is sufficient to have MATH Hence, the explicit scheme $I+\tau\Lambda_{x}$ is stable if MATH or MATH The other two schemes are always stable.
