Abstract

In paper [4] (J. Comput. Appl. Math.,76 (1996), 137-146), a difference scheme for a class of nonlocal parabolic equations with natural boundary conditions was derived by the method of reduction of order and the unique solvability and second order convergence in $L_2$-norm are proved. In this paper, we prove that the scheme is second order convergent in $L_\infty$ norm and then obtain fourth order accuracy approximation in $L_\infty$ norm by extrapolation method. At last, one numerical example is presented.
