An Immersed Interface Method for Parabolic Interface Problems with Nonlinear Jump Conditions
Abstract
We develop an immersed interface finite difference method for a one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic interface problem with jump condition [u]α=λu+u-. The method combines a Crank--Nicolson immersed interface discretization with an s-parameter reduction of the nonlinear interface condition, thereby reducing the nonlinear coupling to a scalar quadratic equation. We also discuss two different viewpoints for combining Newton iteration with immersed interface discretization, namely the IIM--Newton and Newton--IIM formulations. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the behavior and accuracy of the method.
