This paper refers to mathematical modelling and numerical analysis. The analysis to be presented through this paper deals with Robin’s problem which boundary equation is a linear combination of Dirichlet and Neumann-type boundary condi-tions. For this purpose we proved the existence and uniqueness of the solution. It is worth noting that the implementation of numerical simulations depends on the type of problem since it requires a search for explicit solution. Consequently, the motivation exists in this paper for choosing a classical method of variation of constants and employing a finite difference method to find the exact and numerical solutions, respectively so that numerical simulations were implemented in Scilab.

AbstractIn this article, we have considered for numerical solution of a Poisson and Laplace equation in a domain. we have presented a novel finite difference method for solving the system of the boundary value problems subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We have derived the solution of the Poisson and Laplace equations in a two-dimensional finite region. We present numerical experiments to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

Dye-sensitized solar cells consistently provide a cost-effective avenue for sources of renewable energy, primarily due to their unique utilization of nanoporous semiconductors. Through mathematical modelling, we are able to uncover insights into electron transport to optimize the operating efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cells. In particular, fractional diffusion equations create a link between electron density and porosity of the nanoporous semiconductors. We numerically solve a fractional diffusion model using a finite-difference method and a finite-element method to discretize space and an implicit finite-difference method to discretize time. Finally, we calculate the accuracy of each method by evaluating the numerical errors under grid refinement. doi:10.1017/S1446181121000353
