TL;DR: This paper presents dissipation operators that preserve both stability and accuracy for high order finite difference approximations of initial boundary value problems.
Abstract: Stability for nonlinear convection problems using centered difference schemes require the addition of artificial dissipation. In this paper we present dissipation operators that preserve both stability and accuracy for high order finite difference approximations of initial boundary value problems.
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite difference method for the numerical solution of partial integro-differential equations is considered and the convergence order in time is shown to be greater than one, which is confirmed by a numerical example.

TL;DR: Finite difference methods for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an angular momentum rotation term in two and three dimensions are analyzed and error bounds on the errors between the mass and energy in the discretized level and their corresponding continuous counterparts are derived.
Abstract: We analyze finite difference methods for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an angular momentum rotation term in two and three dimensions and obtain the optimal convergence rate, for the conservative Crank-Nicolson finite difference (CNFD) method and semi-implicit finite difference (SIFD) method, at the order of O(h2 + τ2) in the l2-norm and discrete H1-norm with time step τ and mesh size h. Besides the standard techniques of the energy method, the key technique in the analysis for the SIFD method is to use the mathematical induction, and resp., for the CNFD method is to obtain a priori bound of the numerical solution in the l∞-norm by using the inverse inequality and the l2-norm error estimate. In addition, for the SIFD method, we also derive error bounds on the errors between the mass and energy in the discretized level and their corresponding continuous counterparts, respectively, which are at the same order of the convergence rate as that of the numerical solution itself. Finally, numerical results are reported to confirm our error estimates of the numerical methods.
