Abstract

Several numerical methods are presented that have been adapted for a linear, first-order, hyperbolic partial differential equation—the non-homogeneous constant coefficient one-way advection–reaction equation. This equation is solved exactly when the non-homogeneous part is a polynomial in time and/or space. The convergence properties of stability and consistency are analysed when these schemes are applied to this equation. Finally, it is shown that these methods produce very good results when applied to other nonlinear problems.
