Abstract

Finite difference schemes are considered for a $Ca^{2+}$ diffusion equations with damping and convection terms, which describe $Ca^{2+}$ buffering by using stationary and mobile buffers. Stability and $L^{\infty}$ error estimates of approximate solutions for the corresponding schemes are obtained using the extended Lax-Richtmyer equivalence theorem.
