摘要
Recently Gospodinov and collaborators derived a family of second-order two-time-level semi-Lagrangian schemes that contain an undetermined parameter a. It is shown that, when using one of these schemes to approximate the forcing terms in partial differential equations in a semi-Lagrangian coordinate frame, the choice of alpha has a critical influence on the absolute stability of the method. Optimal stability properties are obtained by choosing alpha = 1/4 which corresponds to the SETTLS scheme proposed by Hortal.
