✦ Synopsis

The Unsymmetric Lanczos Reduction (ULR) method is developed to solve the ΓΏnite-element-based solution to the contaminant transport problem. The method sometimes su ers from breakdown when at some step division by a pivot which is zero or near zero, causes numerical instability. In this paper, the Maximum-Pivot New-Start Vector method is developed to overcome such breakdowns by constructing a new starting vector with the possible maximum pivot. Some cases of instability cannot be remedied by this approach (pathological breakdowns) and the Switch method is developed to complete the solution by changing the algorithm to an Arnoldi reduction approach. Investigation of some two-dimensional examples and ΓΏeld problems illustrates the e ciency of the methods and substantial time savings over other existing solution methods. ?

The Unsymmetric Lanczos Reduction method has been recently developed to reduce the size of a large-scale linear system which is the discretized form of a time-dependent partial di erential equation problem with a large physical domain. This has been applied to solve the time-dependent advection-disp

Using either a ΓΏnite element or ΓΏnite-di erence method to solve radionuclide waste transport problems involving advection, dispersion, decay and transformation simultaneously is numerically complicated. Most applications have used only one-dimensional transport and extending this approach to higher-

The boundary node method (BNM) is developed in this paper for solving potential problems in three dimensions. The BNM represents a coupling between boundary integral equations (BIE) and moving least-squares (MLS) interpolants. The main idea here is to retain the dimensionality advantage of the forme
