A second-order generalized BDF method for the two-dimensional (modified) Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov equation
Abstract
The Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (Fisher-KPP) equation is a classical reaction-diffusion equation with broad applications such as biology, chemistry and physics. In this paper, an alternative second-order scheme is proposed by employing a shifted BDF2 method to approximate the two-dimensional (modified) Fisher-KPP equation. We both consider an uniform and a nonuniform time steps of such the scheme. The stability of the uniform discretization scheme is proved. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our uniform and non-uniform schemes are robust and accurate.
