Numerical solution of parabolic equations by the box scheme

<p>The box scheme proposed by H. B. Keller is a numerical method for solving parabolic partial differential equations. We give a convergence proof of this scheme for the heat equation, for a linear parabolic system, and for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations. Von Neumann stability is sh...
