Loosely coupled, non-iterative time-splitting scheme based on Robin-Robin coupling: unified analysis for parabolic/parabolic and parabolic/hyperbolic problems

Abstract: We present a loosely coupled, non-iterative time-splitting scheme based on Robin-Robin coupling conditions. We apply a novel unified analysis for this scheme applied to both a Parabolic/Parabolic coupled system and a Parabolic/Hyperbolic coupled system. We show for both systems that the scheme is stable, and the error converges as $$\mathcal{O}\big(\Delta t \sqrt{T +\log{\frac{1}{\Delta t}}}\big)$$, where $\Delta t$ is the time step
