Sažetak
We show that it is possible to construct stable, explicit finite difference approximations for the classical solution of the initial value problem for the parabolic systems of the form $\partial_tu=A(t,{\bf x})u+f$ on $\R^d$, where $A(t,{\bf x}) \ = \ \sum_{ij} a_{ij}(t,{\bf x}) \partial_i\partial_j \ + \ \sum_i b_i(t,{\bf x}) \partial_i \ + \ c(t,{\bf x})$. The numerical scheme relies on an approximation of the elliptic operator $A(t,{\bf x})$ on an equidistant mesh by matrices that possess structure of a generator of Markov jump process. In the case of ${\R}^2$ scaling of second difference operators can be applied to get the necessary structure of approximations, while in the case of $\R^d, \: d > 2$, rotations at grid-knots are performed in order to get the mentioned structure. Numerical experiments illustrate the theory.
