A collocation method for the solution of one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations using Hermite splines as approximating functions and Gaussian quadrature points as collocation points is described. The method consists of expanding dependent variables in terms of piece-wise cubic Hermite splines in the space variable at each time step. The unknown coefficients in the expansion are obtained at every time step by requiring that the resultant differential equation be satisfied at a number of points (in particular at the Gaussian quadrature points) in the field equal to the number of unknown coefficients. This collocation procedure reduces the partial differential equation to a system of ordinary differential equations which is solved as an initial value problem using the steady-state solution as the initial condition. The method thus developed is applied to a two-region nonlinear transient heat conduction problem and compared with a finite-difference method. It is demonstrated that because of high-order accuracy only a small number of equations are needed to produce desirable accuracy. The method has the desirable characteristic of an analytical method in that it produces point values as against nodal values in the finite-difference scheme.

Analytical solutions showed to be an important and strong tool for understand thermal problems using mathematic tools. In this work we propose an approach about one dimensional analytical solution for a nonlinear transient heat conduction problem, were used mathematical elements such as Kirchhoff transformation, Green’s functions and the combination of them.  The combination of this two methods showed that was possible to determinate an analytical solution for the nonlinear thermal problem, and showed a good approximation when compared with results from numerical methods.

In this Open Forum, Liu et al. proved the equivalence between He-Lee 2009 variational principle and that by Tao and Chen (Tao, Z. L., Chen, G. H., Thermal Science, 17(2013), pp. 951-952) for one dimensional heat conduction. We confirm the correction of Liu et al.?s proof, and give a short remark on the history of the semi-inverse method for establishment of a generalized variational principle.
