<p>Similarity method is used in finding the solutions of partial differential equation (PDE) in reduction to the corresponding ordinary differential equation (ODE) which are not easily integrable in terms of elementary or tabulated functions. Then, the Half-Sweep Successive Over-Relaxation (HSSOR) iterative method is applied in solving the sparse linear system which is generated from the discretization process of the corresponding second order ODEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Basically, this ODEs has been constructed from one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations by using wave variable transformation. Having a large-scale and sparse linear system, we conduct the performances analysis of three iterative methods such as Full-sweep Gauss-Seidel (FSGS), Full-sweep Successive Over-Relaxation (FSSOR) and HSSOR iterative methods to examine the effectiveness of their computational cost. Therefore, four examples of these problems were tested to observe the performance of the proposed iterative methods.  Throughout implementation of numerical experiments, three parameters have been considered which are number of iterations, execution time and maximum absolute error. According to the numerical results, the HSSOR method is the most efficient iterative method in solving the proposed problem with the least number of iterations and execution time followed by FSSOR and FSGS iterative methods.</p>

A new application of the hybrid generalized differential transform and finite difference method is proposed by solving time fractional nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. This method is a combination of the multi-time-stepping temporal generalized differential transform and the spatial finite difference methods. The procedure first converts the time-evolutionary equations into Poisson equations which are then solved using the central difference method. The temporal differential transform method as used in the paper takes care of stability and the finite difference method on the resulting equation results in a system of diagonally dominant linear algebraic equations. The Gauss-Seidel iterative procedure then used to solve the linear system thus has assured convergence. To have optimized convergence rate, numerical experiments were done by using a combination of factors involving multi-time-stepping, spatial step size, and degree of the polynomial fit in time. It is shown that the hybrid technique is reliable, accurate, and easy to apply.
