摘要

A novel Exponential Time Differencing Crank-Nicolson method is developed which is stable, second-order convergent, and highly efficient. We prove stability and convergence for semilinear parabolic problems with smooth data. In the nonsmooth data case, we employ a positivity-preserving initial damping scheme to recover the full rate of convergence. Numerical experiments are presented for a wide variety of examples, including chemotaxis and exotic options with transaction cost.
