Iterative schemes for the neutron diffusion equation

Finite-Difference Schemes for the Diffusion Equation

Abst rac t . The Crank-Nicolson scheme is widely used to solve numerically the diffusion equation, because of its good stability properties. It is, however, ill-behaved when large time-steps are used: the short wave-lengths may happen to be less damped than the long ones. A detailed analysis of this flaw is performed and an Mternative scheme is proposed, which removes this difficulty while pres...

A Jacobian-free Newton-krylov Iterative Scheme for Criticality Calculations Based on the Neutron Diffusion Equation

Newton-Krylov methods, primarily using the Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) approximation, are examined as an alternative to the traditional power iteration method for the calculation of the fundamental eigenmode in reactor analysis applications based on diffusion theory. One JFNK approach can be considered an acceleration technique for the standard power iteration as it is “wrapped around” t...

The use of iterative methods for solving Black-Scholes equation

The spectral iterative method for Solving Fractional-Order Logistic ‎Equation

In this paper, a new spectral-iterative method is employed to give approximate solutions of fractional logistic differential equation. This approach is based on combination of two different methods, i.e. the iterative method cite{35} and the spectral method. The method reduces the differential equation to systems of linear algebraic equations and then the resulting systems are solved by a numer...

Solutions of diffusion equation for point defects

An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...
