How to physically understand time dependent boundary conditions?

For the heat equation imagine a rod that is heated on the left and cooled on the right. Now imagine that instead of a constant prescribed temperature on the left what we want is the heat to steadily r …

How to formulate lumped mass matrix in FEM

When solving time dependent PDE's using the finite element method, for example say the heat equation, if we use explicit time stepping then we have to solve a linear system because of the mass matrix. …

Time Integration of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system

As a first pass I would suggest a splitting scheme. Do an implicit timestepping scheme (e.g. CN) for the diffusion part for both u and v equations. Then do an explicit step for the nonlinear terms (e. …

Looking for a particular algorithm for numerical integration

I will answer for the simplest case: $\frac{dy}{dt} = -\lambda{y}, \hspace{4mm} y(0)=1$ Note: You need an initial condition which you did not specify in your original question. In this simple prob …
