Strong coupling of a non-linear multiphysic problem: failure with Newton Raphson method

I am trying to solve a multiphysic problem using finite elements and a Newton Raphson solution scheme. I have two non-linear subsystems that are coupled bi-directionally. The first subsystem includes ...

Where am I making a mistake in solving the heat equation using the spectral method (Chebyshev's differentiation matrix)?

I would like to numerically solve the following heat equation problem: $$ u_t = \Bigg(2{a \over l}\Bigg)^2 u_{xx} \tag 1$$ $$ x \in [ -1, 1 ] \tag 2$$ $$ u(x, 0) = 0 \tag 3$$ $$ u(1, t) = A \sin \Bigg(...
