Semianalytical Method of Lines

This page provides Maple code for the model described in the paper

V. R. Subramanian and R. E. White, “Semianalytical Method of Lines for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations,” Chem. Eng. Sci., 59(4), 781 (2004).

A semianalytical method of lines is presented for solving elliptic partial di$erential equations, which are often used to describe steady-state mass and energy transport in solids. The method provides a semianalytical solution for linear equations and can be used to obtain explicit symbolic series solutions in one of the independent variables for non-linear equations.
