RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Numerical analysis of a cell dwarfism model A1 Abia Llera, Luis María A1 Angulo Torga, Óscar A1 López Marcos, Juan Carlos A1 López Marcos, Miguel Ángel K1 Análisis numérico AB In this work, we study numerically a model which describes cell dwarfism. It consists in a pure initial value problem for a first order partial differential equation, that can be applied to the description of the evolution of diseases as thalassemia. We design two numerical methods that prevent the use of the characteristic curve x = 0, and derive their optimal rates of convergence. Numerical experiments are also reported in order to demonstrate the predicted accuracy of the schemes. Finally, a comparison study on their efficiency is presented.
