abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">A nonlinear fully implicit finite difference scheme with second-order time evolution for
nonlinear diffusion problem is studied. The scheme is constructed with two-layer coupled
discretization (TLCD) at each time step. It does not stir numerical oscillation, while permits large time step length, and produces more accurate numerical solutions than the other
two well-known second-order time evolution nonlinear schemes, the Crank-Nicolson (CN)
scheme and the backward difference formula second-order (BDF2) scheme. By developing
a new reasoning technique, we overcome the difficulties caused by the coupled nonlinear
discrete diffusion operators at different time layers, and prove rigorously the TLCD scheme
is uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable, and has second-order convergence in both space and time. Numerical tests verify the theoretical results, and illustrate its superiority
over the CN and BDF2 schemes.</p>},
