Numerical Approach for Brain Tumor Growth Model Using Higher Order Compact Finite Difference Scheme
摘要
In this work, we develop a high-order finite difference framework for simulating brain tumor growth governed by a reaction-diffusion model with a spatially varying diffusion coefficient. The proposed scheme combines a fourth-order compact finite difference discretization in space with a second-order Crank-Nicolson method for time integration. The method attains fourth-order accuracy at interior grid points and second-order accuracy in time. Numerical convergence studies confirm second-order accuracy in time, while spatial experiments demonstrate an effective global spatial accuracy of order
