A difference scheme for multidimensional transfer equations with time delay

Abstract

This paper continues research initiated in Solodushkin et al. (2015). We develop a finite difference scheme for a first order multidimensional partial differential equation including a time delay. This class of equations is used to model different time lapse phenomena, e.g. birds migration, proliferation of viruses or bacteria and transfer of nuclear particles. For the constructed difference schemes the order of approximation, stability and convergence order are substantiated. To conclude we support the obtained results with some test examples. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
