Abstract:

The stability properties of a numerical method for the dual-phase-lag (DPL) equation are analyzed. The DPL equation has been increasingly used to model micro- and nanoscale heat conduction in engineering and bioheat transfer problems. A discretization method for the DPL equation that could yield efficient numerical solutions of 3D problems has been previously proposed, but its stability properties were only suggested by numerical experiments. In this work, the amplification matrix of the method is analyzed, and it is shown that its powers are uniformly bounded. As a result, the unconditional stability of the method is established.
