โฆ Synopsis
We extend previous work on nonstandard finite difference schemes for one-space dimension, nonlinear reaction-diffusion PDEs to the case where linear advection is included. The use of a positivity condition allows the determination of a functional relation between the time and space step-sizes, and provides schemes that are explicit. The Fisher equation is used to illustrate the method.

An artificial-viscosity finite-difference scheme is introduced for stabilizing the solutions of advectiondiffusion equations. Although only the linear one-dimensional case is discussed, the method is easily susceptible to generalization. Some theory and comparisons with other well-known schemes are
Approximating convection-dominated diffusion equations requires a very accurate scheme for the convection term. The most famous is the method of backward characteristics, which is very precise when a good interpolation procedure is used. However, this method is difficult to implement in 2D or 3D. Th
We present an explicit fourth-order compact ยฎnite dierence scheme for approximating the threedimensional convectionยฑdiusion equation with variable coecients. This 19-point formula is deยฎned on a uniform cubic grid. We compare the advantages and implementation costs of the new scheme with the standar
A positivity condition is used to obtain functional relations between the time and space step-sizes for nonstandard finite-difference models of the Fisher partial differential equation. An upper bound is also derived for the solutions to the difference equations.
