Abstract: | In this paper, we consider coupled semi-infinite diffusion problems of the form ut(x, t)? A2 uxx(x,t) = 0, x> 0, t> 0, subject to u(0,t)=B and u(x,0)=0, where A is a matrix in
, and u(x,t), and B are vectors in
. Using the Fourier sine transform, an explicit exact solution of the problem is proposed. Given an admissible error and a domain D(x0,t0)={(x,t);0≤x≤x0, t≥t0 > 0, an analytic approximate solution is constructed so that the error with respect to the exact solution is uniformly upper bounded by in D(x0, t0). |
