Abstract

We present two approaches for enhancing the accuracy of second order finite difference approximations of two-dimensional semilinear parabolic systems. These are the fourth order compact difference scheme and the fourth order scheme based on Richardson extrapolation. Our interest is concentrated on a system of ten parabolic partial differential equations in air pollution modeling. We analyze numerical experiments to compare the two approaches with respect to accuracy, computational complexity, non-negativity preserving and etc. Sixth-order approximation based on the fourth-order compact difference scheme combined with Richardson extrapolation is also discussed numerically.
