Abstract

In this work I develop numerical algorithms that can be applied directly to differential equations of the general form f (t, x, x') = 0, without the need to cleared x'. My methods are hybrid algorithms between standard methods of solving differential equations and methods of solving algebraic equations, with which the variable x' is numerically cleared. The application of these methods ranges from the ordinary differential equations of order one, to the more general case of systems of m equations of order n. These algorithms are applied to the solution of different physical-mathematical equations. Finally, the corresponding numerical analysis of existence, uniqueness, stability, consistency and convergence is made, mainly for the simplest case of a single ordinary differential equation of the first order.

Abstract

The finite point method (FPM) is a gridless numerical procedure based on the combination of weighted least square interpolations on a cloud of points with point collocation for evaluating the approximation integrals. In the paper, details of a procedure for stabilizing the numerical solution for advective-diffusive transport and fluid flow problems using the FPM are given. The method is based on a consistent introduction of the stabilizing terms in the governing differential equations. One example showing the applicability of the FPM is given.
