Stability and convergence of second order backward differentiation schemes for parabolic Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations

Abstract We study a second order Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) scheme for the numerical approximation of linear parabolic equations and nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equations. The lack of monotonicity of the BDF scheme prevents the use of well-known convergence results for solutions in the viscosity sense. We first consider one-dimensional uniformly …
