چکیده

The Dirichlet problem is of central importance in both applied and abstract potential theory. We prove the (perhaps surprising) result that the existence of solutions in the general case is an essentially nonconstructive proposition: there is no algorithm which will actually compute solutions for arbitrary domains and boundary conditions. A corollary of our results is the non-existence of constructive solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid flow. But not all the news is bad: we provide reasonable conditions, omitted in the classical theory but easily satisfied, which ensure the computability of solutions. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification 03F60 (primary); 46S30 (secondary)

An efficient approximate method for solution of the heat equation using Laguerre-Gaussians radial functions

In the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensional heat equation subject to both Neumann and Dirichlet initial boundary conditions. This method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (RBFs). The operational matrix of derivative for Laguerre-Gaussians (LG) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equatio...

A Remark Concerning the Solution of the Dirichlet Problem by Finite Differences

In the classic paper [1] it is proven that the mesh-functions obtained by solving a discrete analogue of the Dirichlet problem converge, as the mesh-width approaches zero, to a harmonic function which solves the Dirichlet problem in a somewhat generalized sense. More precisely, let the function / be continuously differentiable in a bounded plane domain G and continuous in the closure G of G, an...
