Finite-difference methods for solving loaded parabolic equations (Q2629972)

The paper deals with the numerical solution of the loaded partial differential equations. For illustrative purposes, a boundary value problem for a parabolic equation with various point loads is considered. The fnite difference discretization leads to systems of algebraic equations of special structure, which are solved using a parametric representation involving solutions of auxiliary linear systems with tridiagonal matrices. The existence of the numerical solutions is proved and several numerical examples are demonstrated and analyzed.
