Abstract
This paper deals with the numerical threshold stability of a nonlinear age-space structured heroin transmission model. A semi-discrete system is established by spatially domain discretization of the original nonlinear age-space structured model. A threshold value is proposed in stability analysis of the semi-discrete system and named as a numerical basic reproduction number. Besides the role it plays in numerical threshold stability analysis, the numerical basic reproduction number can preserve qualitative properties of the exact basic reproduction number and converge to the latter while stepsizes vanish. A fully discrete system is established via a time discretization of the semi-discrete system, in which an implicit-explicit technique is implemented to ensure the preservation of the biological meanings (such as positivity) without CFL restriction. Some numerical experiments are exhibited in the end to confirm the conclusions and explore the final state.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality research and tutorial papers in computational mathematics. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in numerical analysis, the journal also publishes papers describing relevant applications in such fields as physics, fluid dynamics, engineering and other branches of applied science with a computational mathematics component. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are:
(i) Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational mathematics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research, in which other than strictly mathematical arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.
(ii) Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Numerical Mathematics, Scientific Computing and their Applications. The journal will occasionally publish contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers.
(iii) Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.
