Analysis of finite difference discretization schemes for diffusion in spheres with variable diffusivity

Two finite difference discretization schemes for approximating the spatial derivatives in the diffusion equation in spherical coordinates with variable diffusivity are presented and analyzed. The numerical solutions obtained by the discretization schemes are compared for five cases of the functional...
