Abstract

In this paper, we use a semi-discrete and a pade approximation method to propose a new difference scheme for solving convection-diffusion problems. The truncation error of the difference scheme is O(h^4+@t^5). It is shown through analysis that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical experiments are conducted to test its high accuracy and to compare it with Crank-Nicolson method.
