abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, a class of high order numerical schemes is proposed to solve
the nonlinear parabolic equations with variable coefficients. This method is based on
our previous work [11] for convection-diffusion equations, which relies on a special
kernel-based formulation of the solutions and successive convolution. However, disadvantages appear when we extend the previous method to our equations, such as inefficient choice of parameters and unprovable stability for high-dimensional problems.
To overcome these difficulties, a new kernel-based formulation is designed to approach
the spatial derivatives. It maintains the good properties of the original one, including the high order accuracy and unconditionally stable for one-dimensional problems,
hence allowing much larger time step evolution compared with other explicit schemes.
In addition, without extra computational cost, the proposed scheme can enlarge the
available interval of the special parameter in the formulation, leading to less errors
and higher efficiency. Moreover, theoretical investigations indicate that it is unconditionally stable for multi-dimensional problems as well. We present numerical tests for
one- and two-dimensional scalar and system, demonstrating the designed high order
accuracy and unconditionally stable property of the scheme.</p>},
