Abstract

Splitting methods for nonlinear models arising from population dynamics and epidemiology are described and analyzed. A backward finite differencing along the characteristic is used for the approximation. It is shown that the schemes are convergent at first-order rate in the maximum norm. The stability of the methods is discussed. Several numerical examples are presented.
