Stability analysis of a numerical method for the 3D high-order Allen–Cahn equation by Seokjun Ham, Jyoti, Jaeyong Choi, Yunjae Nam, Junseok Kim

“…In the present study, we incorporated the function of high order polynomial potentials in the standard AC equation and present the stability condition for the numerical scheme that is used to solve the AC problem in three-dimensional space. We used a fully explicit Euler scheme for temporal derivatives and a second-order finite difference approach for spatial discretization. …”

Extending the Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) for longitudinal historical databases to include geographic data by Finn Hedefalk, Lars Harrie, Patrick Svensson

“…The geographic data that will be stored in IDS-Geo are primarily buildings and/or property units, and the purpose of these geographic data is mainly to link individuals to places in space. When we want to assign such detailed spatial locations to individuals (in times before there were any detailed house addresses available), we often have to create tailored geographic datasets. …”
