ANALYSIS OF HIGHER ORDER DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR A PSEUDO-PARABOLIC EQUATION WITH DELAY

In this paper, the author considers the one dimensional initial-boundary problem for a pseudo-parabolic equation with time delay in second spatial derivative. To solve this problem numerically, the author constructs higher order difference method and obtain the error estimate for its solution. Based on the method of energy estimates the fully discrete scheme is shown to be convergent of order four in space and of order two in time. Some numerical examples illustrate the convergence and effectiveness of the numerical method.
