Abstract:

We have derived stability results for high-order finite difference approximations of mixed hyperbolic-parabolic initial-boundary value problems (IBVP). The results are obtained using summation by parts and a new way of representing general linear boundary conditions as an orthogonal projection. By rearranging the analytic equations slightly, we can prove strict stability for hyperbolic-parabolic IBVP. Furthermore, we generalize our technique so as to yield stability on nonsmooth domains in two space dimensions. Using the same procedure, one can prove stability in higher dimensions as well.
