A robust false transient method of lines for elliptic partial differential equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) are frequently used to model a variety of engineering phenomena, such as steady-state heat conduction in a solid, or reaction-diffusion type problems. However, computing a solution can sometimes be difficult or inefficient using standard solvers. Techniques have been developed, including the method of lines (Schiesser, 1991), which can solve parabolic PDEs using well developed numerical solvers, but are not directly applicable to elliptic PDEs. The method of false transients overcomes this limitation by arbitrarily introducing a pseudo time derivative to modify the elliptic PDE to a parabolic PDE. However, this technique diverges for certain problems, such as when the solution is an unstable equilibrium point. A Jacobian-based perturbation approach is presented as an alternative for situations when the standard false-transient method fails. Two examples are shown to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method over the false transient method. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A numerical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations based on Sinc-Galerkin method
In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.

An SPICE compatible model for multiple coupled nonuniform lossless transmission lines (TL's) is presented. The method of the modeling is based on the steplines approximation of the nonuniform TLs and quasi-TEM assumptions. Using steplines approximation the system of coupled nonuniform TLs is subdivided into arbitrary large number of coupled uniform lines (steplines) with different characteristi...
