Abstract :
A nonstandard finite-difference (NSFD) scheme for Fisher’s Equation by using Richtmyer’s (3, 1, 1) implicit formula has been presented, in this work. On nonstandard finite-difference scheme, two special cases of Richtmyer formula have been applied. The suitable functions in the denominator fraction of our NSFD scheme have been replaced to guarantee the highly accurate of the approximation. Furthermore, the analyses of stability, convergence, consistency for the NSFD method, have been provided. By calculating the absolute error, the comparison of these methods has been presented in some Examples and the results have shown that the error of our NSFD scheme is lower than the others. Finally, a comparison of these methods and the differential quadrature method (DQM) to solve the Fisher’s Equation reveals that these techniques work better and give highly accurate results.
