Abstract

Initial-boundary value problems of Dirichlet type for parabolic functional differential equations are considered. Explicit difference schemes of Euler type and implicit difference methods are investigated. The following theoretical aspects of the methods are presented. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of approximate solutions are given and comparisons of the methods are presented. It is proved that the assumptions on the regularity of the given functions are the same for both methods. It is shown that the conditions on the mesh for explicit difference schemes are more restrictive than the suitable assumptions for implicit methods. There are implicit difference schemes which are convergent while the corresponding explicit difference methods are not convergent. Error estimates for both methods are constructed.
