In this article, two sets of fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are constructed for solving heatconducting problems of two or three dimensions, respectively. Both problems are with Neumann boundary conditions. These works are extensions of our earlier work (Zhao et al., Fourth order compact schemes of a heat conduction problem with Neumann boundary conditions, Numerical Methods Partial Differential Equations, to appear) for the one-dimensional case. The local one-dimensional method is employed to construct these two sets of schemes, which are proved to be globally solvable, unconditionally stable, and convergent. Numerical examples are also provided.
