An Alternating Direction Galerkin Method for Nonlinear Parabolic Problems.

Abstract

An implementation of the Laplace modified centered difference Galerkin method for the solution of the general non-linear parabolic differential equation is given. Alternating directions methods are used to approximate the solution in two dimensions for a rectangle. Hermite cubics are used as basis functions for the space.
