A Computational Method for Solving Parabolic Partial Differential Equations.
Abstract
This paper presents a new numerical method, the error method, for solving parabolic type partial differential equations, linear or nonlinear. In particular, by comparing with the regular successive iterative method, more beneficial results in the application to nonlinear problems. Three nonlinear examples were studied by using this method. All resulted in large reduction of number of iteration loops and CPU time required in comparing to the corresponding regular successive method used. Generalization and modification of this method appears appropriate to extend its application to elliptical type partial differential equation so that problems with 'isolated' events (such as those with ignition spots) may be handled with this method.
