Abstract

The nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) method is an elegant approach in that it overcomes the numerical instability and bias exhibited by standard finite difference methods for numerically solving nonlinear differential equations. In addition, the NSFD method preserves some qualitative features of the continuous-time model such as boundedness and positivity. But for an important class of models which include diffusion and reaction–diffusion systems that appear in a number of application domains including epidemiology, ecology, and finance, recently introduced NSFD schemes do not guarantee first-order temporal accuracy or consistency. In this paper, we first show this for a reaction–diffusion epidemic model. We then propose an alternative NSFD scheme that guarantees first-order accuracy in time and second-order accuracy in space whilst preserving positivity of the solution. Stability and consistency analyses of the proposed scheme are then presented. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme we show a comparison with the existing NSFD approach for three examples which confirm the superiority of our proposed approach.
