Abstract

Classical numerical methods exhibit numerical discrepancies, when we are dealing with the transport equation in domain of heterogeneous sizes. In this work, a numerical scheme, based on a domain decomposition strategy is built to avoid numerical discrepancies. Let us mention that this work is inspired from the results given in Picq and Pousin (Variational reduction for the transport equation and plants growth, 2007).
