Purpose Discrete differential operators of periodic base functions have been examined to solve boundary-value problems. This paper aims to identify the difficulties of using those operators to solve ordinary linear and nonlinear differential equations with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a promising approach for solving two-dimensional (2D) boundary problems of elliptic differential equations. To create finite differential equations, specially developed discrete partial differential operators are used to replace the partial derivatives in the differential equations. These operators relate the value of the partial derivatives at each point to the value of the function at all points evenly distributed over the area where the solution is being sought. Exemplary 2D elliptic equations are solved for two types of boundary conditions: the Dirichlet and the Neumann. Findings An alternative method has been proposed to create finite-difference equations and an effective method to determine the leakage flux in the transformer window. Research limitations/implications The proposed approach can be classified as an extension of the finite-difference method based on the new formulas approximating the derivatives. This method can be extended to the 3D or time-periodic 2D cases. Practical implications This paper presents a methodology for calculations of the self- and mutual-leakage inductances for windings arbitrarily located in the transformer window, which is needed for special transformers or in any case of the internal asymmetry of windings. Originality/value The presented methodology allows us to obtain the magnetic vector potential distribution in the transformer window only, for example, to omit the magnetic core of the transformer from calculations.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to study a degenerate Sobolev type partial differential equation in the form of Mut + Lu = f, where M and L are second order partial differential operators defined in a domain (0, T]×Ω in Rn+1. The degenerate property of the equation is in the sense that both M and L are not necessarily strongly elliptic and their coefficients may vanish or be negative in some part of the domain (0, T]×Ω. Two types of boundary conditions are investigated.

This chapter discusses a case for single-parameter singular integral operators, where ρ‎ is the usual distance on ℝn. There, we obtain the most classical theory of singular integrals, which is useful for studying elliptic partial differential operators. The chapter defines singular integral operators in three equivalent ways. This trichotomy can be seen three times, in increasing generality: Theorems 1.1.23, 1.1.26, and 1.2.10. This trichotomy is developed even when the operators are not translation invariant (many authors discuss such ideas only for translation invariant, or nearly translation invariant operators). It also presents these ideas in a slightly different way than is usual, which helps to motivate later results and definitions.
