A Novel Time Efficient Structure-Preserving Splitting Method for the Solution of Two-Dimensional Reaction-Diffusion Systems

Abstract

In this article, the first part is concerned with the important questions related to the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems. Secondly, an efficient positivity-preserving operator splitting nonstandard finite difference scheme (NSFD) is designed for such a class of systems. The presented formulation is unconditionally stable as well as implicit in nature and even time efficient. The proposed NSFD operator splitting technique also preserves all the important properties possessed by continuous systems like positivity, convergence to the fixed points of the system, and boundedness. The proposed algorithm is implicit in nature but more efficient in time than the extensively used Euler method.
