Abstract

In this paper we develop explicit fast exponential Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical solutions of a class of parabolic equations. By incorporating the linear splitting technique into the explicit exponential Runge-Kutta schemes, we are able to greatly improve the numerical stability. The proposed numerical methods could be fast implemented through use of decompositions of compact spatial difference operators on a regular mesh together with discrete fast Fourier transform techniques. The exponential Runge-Kutta schemes are easy to be adopted in adaptive temporal approximations with variable time step sizes, as well as applied to stiff nonlinearity and boundary conditions of different types. Linear stabilities of the proposed schemes and their comparison with other schemes are presented. We also numerically demonstrate accuracy, stability and robustness of the proposed method through some typical model problems.
