Abstract

This work is concerned with the uniform accuracy of implicit-explicit backward differentiation formulas for general linear hyperbolic relaxation systems satisfying the structural stability condition proposed previously by the third author. We prove the uniform stability and accuracy of a class of IMEX-BDF schemes discretized spatially by a Fourier spectral method. The result reveals that the accuracy of the fully discretized schemes is independent of the relaxation time in all regimes. It is verified by numerical experiments on several applications to traffic flows, rarefied gas dynamics and kinetic theory.
