Abstract: | The unified transform method of A. S. Fokas has led to important new developments, regarding the analysis and solution of various types of linear and nonlinear PDE problems. In this work we use these developments and obtain the solution of time-dependent problems in a straightforward manner and with such high accuracy that cannot be reached within reasonable time by use of the existing numerical methods. More specifically, an integral representation of the solution is obtained by use of the A. S. Fokas approach, which provides the value of the solution at any point, without requiring the solution of linear systems or any other calculation at intermediate time levels and without raising any stability problems. For instance, the solution of the initial boundary value problem with the non-homogeneous heat equation is obtained with accuracy 10−15, while the well-established Crank–Nicholson scheme requires 2048 time steps in order to reach a 10−8 accuracy. |
