In this paper, the Saul’yev finite difference scheme for a fully nonlinear partial differential equation with initial and boundary conditions is analyzed. The main advantage of this scheme is that it is unconditionally stable and explicit. Consistency and monotonicity of the scheme are discussed. Several finite difference schemes are used to compare the Saul’yev scheme with them. Numerical illustrations are given to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the scheme. In each case, it is found that the elapsed time for the Saul’yev scheme is shortest, and the solution by the Saul’yev scheme is nearest to the Crank–Nicolson method.

Because of noise interference, improper exposure, and the over thickness of human tissues, the detailed information of DR (digital radiography) images can be masked, including unclear edges and reduced contrast. An image-enhancement algorithm based on wavelet multiscale decomposition is proposed to address the shortcomings of existing single-scale image-enhancement algorithms. The proposed algorithm is based on Shannon–Cosine wavelets by taking advantage of the interpolation, smoothness, tight support, and normalization properties. Next a multiscale interpolation wavelet operator is constructed to divide the image into several sub-images from high frequency to low frequency, and to perform different multi-scale wavelet transforms on the detailed image of each channel. So that the most subtle and diagnostically useful information in the image can be effectively enhanced. Moreover, the image will not be over-enhanced and combined with the high contrast sensitivity of the human eye’s visual system in smooth regions, different attenuation coefficients are used for different regions to achieve the purpose of suppressing noise while enhancing details. The results obtained by some simulations show that this method can effectively eliminate the noise in the DR image, and the enhanced DR image detail information is clearer than before while having high effectiveness and robustness.
