“…Various types of algorithms are considered in the literature, for instance, finite-difference schemes (Garvie, 2007;Ruuth, 1995), finite volume spectral element method (Shakeri and Dehghan, 2011), positive finite volume methods (Gerisch and Chaplain, 2006), discontinuous Galerkin methods (Zhang et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2009), differential quadrature (DQ) methods (Mittal and Rohila, 2016;Jiwari et al, 2017), variational multiscale element-free Galerkin and local discontinuous Galerkin methods (Dehghan and Abbaszadeh, 2016), the method of fundamental solutions (Wang et al, 2020), the singular boundary method (Qiu et al, 2019), meshfree local Petrov-Galerkin methods (Ilati and Dehghan, 2017), operator splitting and approximate matrix factorization time-stepping schemes (Gerisch and Verwer, 2002) and implicit-explicit time-stepping schemes (Madzvamuse, 2006). Recently, some novel algorithms such as Lin et al (2018Lin et al ( , 2020a; Lin and Reutskiy (2020); Lin et al (2020b); Oruç (2020b); Oruç et al (2019); Oruç (2020aOruç ( , 2020c were developed for convection-diffusion-reaction problems.…”
