| contents | A model of progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) incorporating the interactions of A$β$-monomers, oligomers, microglial cells and interleukins with neurons is considered. The resulting convection-diffusion-reaction system consists of four partial differential equations (PDEs) and one ordinary differential equation (ODE). We develop a finite volume (FV) scheme for this system, together with non-negativity and a priori bounds for the discrete solution, so that we establish the existence of a discrete solution to the FV scheme. It is shown that the scheme converges to an admissible weak solution of the model. The reaction terms of the system are discretized using a semi-implicit strategy that coincides with a nonstandard discretization of the spatially homogeneous (SH) model. This construction enables us to prove that the FV scheme is dynamically consistent with respect to the spatially homogeneous version of the model. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the model and to assess the behavior of the FV scheme. |
