Abstract

Approximate solutions are considered for the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) equation in two space dimension with Dirichlet boundary conditions by a Crank-Nicolson type finite difference scheme. A priori bounds are proved using Lyapunov functional. Further, existence, uniqueness and convergence of difference solutions with order O(h^2+k^2) in the L^~-norm are proved. Numerical results are also given in order to check the properties of analytical solutions.
