Approximation Greenscher Funktionen bei parabolischen Differentialgleichungen. (Approximation of Green's functions for parabolic differential equations) (Q912286)

A method to compute Green's functions of boundary value problems for linear parabolic differential equations with moving boundaries is established. Starting from Green's functions \(\Gamma\) (x,s,y,t) for the heat equation and trapezoidal domains, which the author derived in previous works for various boundary conditions in form of Theta-series, the approximation consists in a decomposition of the given domain \(r_ 1(s)<x<r_ 2(s)\), \(r_ 1(t)<y<r_ 2(t)\), \(s_ 0\leq t<s\), into stripes \(s-h\leq t<s\); \(s-2h\leq t<s-h\);.... The parabolic defect of the approximation vanishes as the width h of the stripes tends to zero. The method is demonstrated by some numerical examples and verified by error estimations.
