Numerical treatment of a boundary-value problem for a certain singular parabolic partial differential equation

Journal Article · · J. Comput. Phys.; (United States)

We solve a boundary-value problem for a certain linear singular partial differential equation of parabolic type by a suitable implicit finite-difference scheme. This allows us to obtain precise tabulated values for the mean powers reflected and transmitted by a slab of random medium. This is relevant, e.g., to Plasma Physics. copyright 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
