Monotone iterates with quadratic convergence rate for solving weighted average approximations to semilinear parabolic problems

y This paper deals with discrete monotone iterative methods for solving semilinear singularly perturbed parabolic problems. Monotone sequences, based on the accelerated monotone iterative method, are constructed for a nonlinear difference scheme which approximates the semilinear parabolic problem. This monotone convergence leads to the existence-uniqueness theorem. An analysis of convergence of the monotone iterative method to the solutions of the nonlinear difference scheme is given. Numerical experiments are presented. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
