A high order continuous solution is obtained for partial differential equations on non-rectangular and non-continuous domain using Bézier functions. This is a mesh free alternative to finite element or finite difference methods that are normally used to solve such problems. The problem is handled without any transformation and the setup is direct, simple, and involves minimizing the error in the residuals of the differential equations along with the error in the boundary conditions over the domain. The solution can be expressed in polynomial form. The effort is same for linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. The procedure is developed as a combination of symbolic and numeric calculation. The solution is obtained through the application of standard unconstrained optimization. A constrained approach is also developed for nonlinear partial differential equations. Examples include linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. The solution for linear partial differential equations is compared to finite element solutions from COMSOL.

In this paper, a novel analytical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations is studied. This method is known as triple Laplace transform decomposition method. This method is generalized in the sense of conformable derivative. Important results and theorems concerning this method are discussed. A new algorithm is proposed to solve linear and nonlinear partial differential equations in three dimensions. Moreover, some examples are provided to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. This method presents a wide applicability to solve nonlinear partial differential equations in the sense of conformable derivative.

We consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modelling the steady motion of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid, which is chemically reacting. The governing system consists of a steady convection-diffusion equation for the concentration and the generalized steady Navier–Stokes equations, where the viscosity coefficient is a power-law type function of the shear-rate, and the coupling between the equations results from the concentration-dependence of the power-law index. This system of nonlinear partial differential equations arises in mathematical models of the synovial fluid found in the cavities of moving joints. We construct a finite element approximation of the model and perform the mathematical analysis of the numerical method in the case of two space dimensions. Key technical tools include discrete counterparts of the Bogovskiĭ operator, De Giorgi’s regularity theorem in two dimensions, and the Acerbi–Fusco Lipschitz truncation of Sobolev functions, in function spaces with variable integrability exponents.

AbstractThis article describes a number of velocity-based moving mesh numerical methods for multidimensional nonlinear time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). It consists of a short historical review followed by a detailed description of a recently developed multidimensional moving mesh finite element method based on conservation. Finite element algorithms are derived for both mass-conserving and non mass-conserving problems, and results shown for a number of multidimensional nonlinear test problems, including the second order porous medium equation and the fourth order thin film equation as well as a two-phase problem. Further applications and extensions are referenced.
