TY - JOUR A1 - Asante-Asamani, E.O. A1 - Kleefeld, Andreas A1 - Wade, B.A. T1 - A second-order exponential time differencing scheme for non-linear reaction-diffusion systems with dimensional splitting T2 - Journal of Computational Physics N2 - A second-order L-stable exponential time-differencing (ETD) method is developed by combining an ETD scheme with approximating the matrix exponentials by rational functions having real distinct poles (RDP), together with a dimensional splitting integrating factor technique. A variety of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations in two and three dimensions with either Dirichlet, Neumann, or periodic boundary conditions are solved with this scheme and shown to outperform a variety of other second-order implicit-explicit schemes. An additional performance boost is gained through further use of basic parallelization techniques.
