Abstract: The numerical time step integrations of PDEs are mainly carried out by the finitedifference method to date. However,when the time step becomes longer, it causes theproblem of numerical instability,. The explicit integration schemes derived by the singlepoint precise integration method given in this paper are proved unconditionally stable.Comparisons between the schemes derived by the finite difference method and theschemes by the method employed in the present paper are made for diffusion andconvective-diffusion equations. Nunierical examples show the superiority of the singlepoint integration method.
