TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relaxation algorithms for the determination of the lowest-order modes of a refractive-index profile are identical to imaginary-distance propagation procedures.
Abstract: We demonstrate that relaxation algorithms for the determination of the lowest-order modes of a refractive-index profile are identical to imaginary-distance propagation procedures.
TL;DR: In this paper, the post-divergence behavior of extensible fluid-conveying pipes supported at both ends is studied using the weakly nonlinear equations of motion of Semler, Li and Paidoussis.
TL;DR: The newly proposed method is based on the Hopf–Cole transformation, which transforms the original nonlinear Burgers’ equation into a linear heat equation, and transforms the Dirichlet boundary condition into the Robin boundary condition, which leads to an implicit fourth-order compact finite difference scheme.
TL;DR: Finite difference method solution of diffusion equations, including analyses of stability and truncation errors as mentioned in this paper, was used to solve the problem of diffusion diffusion equations in a finite difference method.

TL;DR: A new finite element method in the time domain based on the Whitney forms gives a direct way to solve Maxwell equations in general unstructured meshes.
Abstract: A new finite element method in the time domain based on the Whitney forms is presented. Using edge elements and face elements for space discretization of the fields and a leap-frog scheme in time, the algorithm gives a direct way to solve Maxwell equations in general unstructured meshes. >
