Abstract:
In this article we present a semi-analytic method for solving
elliptic partial differential equations. The technique is based on
using a spectral method approximation for the second-order derivative
in one of the spatial directions followed by solving the resulting
system of second-order differential equations by an analytic method.
That is, the system of second-order two-point boundary-value problems
are solved analytically by casting them in first-order form and
solving the resulting set of first-order equations by using the matrix
exponential. An important aspect of our technique is that the solution
obtained is semi-analytic, e.i., using analytic method in y and
spectral method in x. The new method can be used for both linear and
non-linear boundary conditions as well as for nonlinear elliptic
partial differential equations.
