Abstract

For adaptive multiresolution schemes we propose a local timestepping scheme based on natural extensions of Runge–Kutta methods. We consider reaction-diffusion equations in two space dimensions and assess the precision and efficiency of the new method. The obtained results are compared with those using classical finite volume schemes on a uniform grid and multiresolution schemes with global time stepping. It is shown that both CPU time and precision of the adaptive solutions are improved.
