Differential equation, linear, boundary

A more general and rigorous approach is the determination of the concentrations by employing a multidimensional root-finding algorithm. Indeed, the unknown concentrations can be viewed as the roots of a set of non-linear simultaneous equations to be zeroed, which are given by the discretised differential equations and boundary conditions ... 

Due to the variable gas velocity and the nonlinear rate law the model equations represent a set of coupled nonlinear algebraic and differential equations of boundary value type which must be solved numerically. For this purpose the nonlinear equations are entirely linearized using the cjuasilinearization technique (12) and the linearized differential equations are solved using the orthogonal collocation method based on shifted Legendre polynomials (13). 

The shooting method can be applied to a wide range of BVPs involving both linear and nonlinear differential equations and boundary conditions. However, this approach is not always the best method for solving such problems, espeeially for highly nonlinear differential equations which are the major emphasis of this book. For many such BVPs the method of finite difference equations is the most appropriate solution technique as this approach tends to solve for all solution points simultaneously. This technique is developed in Section 11.5. However, before going to that approach, the next section discusses a type of engineering...

The solution now has the form sin (n-Kxll)(Ae + Be ). Since V(a., cc) = 0, A must be taken to be zero because e becomes arbitrarily large as y The solution then reads B sin (m x/l)e where is the multiplicative constant. The differential equation is linear and homogeneous so that 2,r=i sin (nltx/l) is also a solution. Satisfaction of the last boundary condition is ensured by taking... 

Rigorous error bounds are discussed for linear ordinary differential equations solved with the finite difference method by Isaacson and Keller (Ref. 107). Computer software exists to solve two-point boundary value problems. The IMSL routine DVCPR uses the finite difference method with a variable step size (Ref. 247). Finlayson (Ref. 106) gives FDRXN for reaction problems. 

Equation (9.23) belongs to a elass of non-linear differential equations known as the matrix Rieeati equations. The eoeffieients of P(t) are found by integration in reverse time starting with the boundary eondition... 

For both of these cases, Eqs. (13)—(15) constitute a system of two linear ordinary differential equations of second order with constant coefficients. The boundary conditions are similar to those used by Miyauchi and Vermeulen, which are identical to those proposed by Danckwerts (Dl). The equations may be transformed to a dimensionless form and solved analytically. The solutions may be recorded in dimensionless diagrams similar to those constructed by Miyauchi and Vermeulen. The analytical solutions in the present case are, however, considerably more involved algebraically. 

For convenience in analysis, we look for in a domain G with the boundary r a solution to the linear differential equation... 

Introduction. In Section 4 of Chapter 2 the boundary-value problems for the differential equations Lu = —f x) have been treated as the operator equations Au = /, where A is a linear operator in a Banach space B. 

Together with the boundary condition (5.4.5) and relationship (5.4.6), this yields the partial differential equation (2.5.3) for linear diffusion and Eq. (2.7.16) for convective diffusion to a growing sphere, where D = D0x and = Cqx/[1 + A(D0x/T>Red)12]- As for linear diffusion, the limiting diffusion current density is given by the Cottrell equation... 

The calculation becomes more difficult when the polarization resistance RP is relatively small so that diffusion of the oxidized and reduced forms to and from the electrode becomes important. Solution of the partial differential equation for linear diffusion (2.5.3) with the boundary condition D(dcReJdx) = —D(d0x/dx) = A/sin cot for a steady-state periodic process and a small deviation of the potential from equilibrium is... 

The solution of this frequently met linear differential equation for the boundary conditions... 

The theory of linear differential equations indicates that long-term evolution depends on the boundary conditions and the determinant of the coefficients preceding the second spatial derivatives (which can actually be considered as effective diffusion coefficients). Such a system is likely to be highly non-linear. One extreme case, however, is particularly interesting in demonstrating how periodic patterns of precipitation can be arrived at. We assume that (i) species i diffuses very fast and dC /dp is large so that P is small and (ii) that species j is much less mobile and P is large. The... 

While nonlinear in g2 (the coefficients 7,.r and b are lengthy integral expressions), the partial differential equation is linear in the derivatives. It can thus be solved by the method of characteristics, with the boundary conditions given by the coupling at /x = 0, as obtained from finite-T lattice QCD. 

In the gas/vapour phase the dimensionless distance tj ranges from 0 to 1, where tj — 1 corresponds to the position of the interface. In the liquid phase this parameter ranges from 0 to 1 for the mass transfer film and from 0 to Le for the heat transfer film. Hence, rj = 0 corresponds to the position of the interface and rj = I and t] = Le correspond, respectively, to the boundaries of the mass and heat transfer film. The mass and energy fluxes can now be calculated by solving the differential equations (4) and (8)-(12) subject to the boundary conditions (15). Due to the non-linearities a numerical solution procedure has been used which will be discussed subsequently. 

To meet a particular application, known solutions of a linear differential equation may be combined to meet the boundary conditions of that application. The superposition principle will be demonstrated through its use in Example 2.4.

The behavior of a reactive wave depen ds on the flow of its reacting and product-gases. The conservation laws lead to systems of partial differential equations of the first order which are quasilinear, ie, equations in which partial derivatives appear linearly. In practical cases special symmetry of boundary and initial conditions is often invoked to reduce the number of independent variables.
