In this paper, we present a numerical solution of a two-phase fractional Stefan problem with time derivative described in the Caputo sense. In the proposed algorithm, we use a special case of front-fixing method supplemented by the iterative procedure, which allows us to determine the position of the moving boundary. The presented method is an extension of a front-fixing method for the one-phase problem to the two-phase case. The novelty of the method is a new discretization of the partial differential equation dedicated to the second phase, which is carried out by introducing a new spatial variable immobilizing the moving boundary. Then, the partial differential equation is transformed to an equivalent integro-differential equation, which is discretized on a homogeneous mesh of nodes with a constant spatial and time step. A new convergence criterion is also proposed in the iterative algorithm determining the location of the moving boundary. The motivation for the development of the method is that the analytical solution of the considered problem is impossible to calculate in some cases, as can be seen in the figures in the paper. Moreover, the change of the boundary conditions makes obtaining a closed analytical solution very problematic. Therefore, creating new numerical methods is very valuable. In the final part, we also present some examples illustrating the comparison of the analytical solution with the results received by the proposed numerical method.

Abstract Mathematical modeling of phase change process in porous media can help ensure the efficient design and operation of thermal energy storage and pipe freezing. Numerical methods generally require high computational power to be applicable in practice. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop accurate and reliable analytical frameworks. This study proposes a singular perturbation solution for a two-phase Stefan problem that describes outward solidification in a finite annular space. The problem solves cylindrical heat conduction equations for both solid and liquid phases, with consideration of a moving boundary condition. Perturbation method takes the advantages of small Stefan number as the perturbation parameter, which intrinsically occurs in porous media. Furthermore, a boundary-fixing technique is used to remove nonlinearity in the moving boundary condition. Two different time scales are separately expanded and evaluated to facilitate the construction of a composite asymptotic solution. The analytical solution is verified against a general numerical model using enthalpy method and local volume-averaged thermal properties. The results indicate that the temperature profile of both phases can be well modeled by singular perturbation theory. The analytical solution is found to have similar conclusions to the numerical analysis with much lesser computational cost.

Abstract A unified method for extracting geometric shape features from binary image data using a steady-state partial differential equation (PDE) system as a boundary value problem is presented in this paper. The PDE and functions are formulated to extract the thickness, orientation, and skeleton simultaneously. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the orientation is defined without derivatives and thickness computation is not imposed a topological constraint on the target shape. A one-dimensional analytical solution is provided to validate the proposed method. In addition, two-dimensional numerical examples are presented to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method. Highlights A steady state partial differential equation for extraction of geometrical shape features is formulated. The functions for geometrical shape features are formulated by the solution of the proposed PDE. Analytical solution is provided in one-dimension. Numerical examples are provided in two-dimension.

AbstractThe replacement of the second space derivative by finite differences reduces the simplest form of heat conduction equation to a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. These equations can be solved analytically by utilizing the spectral resolution of the matrix formed by their coefficients. For explicit boundary conditions the solution provides a direct numerical method of solving the original partial differential equation and also gives, as limiting forms, analytical solutions which are equivalent to those obtainable by using the Laplace transform. For linear implicit boundary conditions the solution again provides a direct numerical method of solving the original partial differential equation. The procedure can also be used to give an iterative method of solving non-linear equations. Numerical examples of both the direct and iterative methods are given.

The DGLAP equation for the nonsinglet structure functionF2NS(x,t)at LO is solved analytically at lowxby converting it into a partial differential equation in two variables: Bjorkenxandt  (t=ln(Q2/Λ2)and then solved by two methods: Lagrange’s auxiliary method and the method of characteristics. The two solutions are then compared with the available data on the structure function. The relative merits of the two solutions are discussed calculating the chi-square with the used data set.

In this article, a numerical method is developed to determine the value of a put, based in the solution of Black and Scholes (1973) for European option and on Richardson extrapolation that calculates the limit of an options sequence, whose time intervals tend to zero. In the beginning of the 70s, Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973) they had developed partial differential equation, whose solution it determines the value of an European option. The boundary condition will go to determine the type of option (purchase or sale). Values for the put are calculated, priced and compared with methods of the numerical integration and the binomial approach.

The generalized Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is investigated using the modified Kudrayshov equation for the exact analytical solution. The modified Kudrayshov method converts the nonlinear partial differential equation to algebraic equations by results of various steps which on solving the so obtained equation systems yields the analytical solution. By this way various exact including complex solutions are found and drawn their behaviour in complex plane by Maple to compare the uniqueness of various solutions.
