This paper investigates the performance of a subclass of exponential integrators, specifically explicit exponential Runge--Kutta methods. It is well known that third-order methods can suffer from order reduction when applied to linearized problems involving unbounded and non-commuting operators. In this work, we consider a fourth-stage third-order Runge--Kutta method, which successfully achieves the expected order of accuracy and avoids order reduction, as long as all required order conditions are satisfied. The convergence analysis is carried out under the assumption of higher regularity for the initial data. Numerical experiments are provided to validate the theoretical results., Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures

Splitting methods are a widely used numerical scheme for solving convection-diffusion problems. However, they may lose stability in some situations, particularly when applied to convection-diffusion problems in the presence of an unbounded convective term. In this paper, we propose a new splitting method, called the "Adapted Lie splitting method", which successfully overcomes the observed instability in certain cases. Assuming that the unbounded coefficient belongs to a suitable Lorentz space, we show that the adapted Lie splitting converges to first-order under the analytic semigroup framework. Furthermore, we provide numerical experiments to illustrate our newly proposed splitting approach., Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures

This paper considers a class of noncoercive nonlinear elliptic problems with coefficients defined in Marcinkiewicz and Lorentz spaces. We prove the existence of a solution for the corresponding Dirichlet problem and investigate the higher integrability properties of the solution., Comment: 13 pages
