β¦ Synopsis
Stochastic models for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations are discussed. They consist of a discretized version of these equations and Monte Carlo techniques. The Markov transitions are based on a priori estimates of the solution. To improve the efficiency of stochastic smoothers a Monte Carlo multigrid method is presented. The numerical results presented show the convergence of these methods. Some directions for the pamUelization of the Monte Carlo algorithms presented are outlined. The techniques introduced make possible the extension of Monte Carlo methods to nonlinear problems, offering a new approach with an analytic potential for a wide range of problems in computational physics.

The Laplace transform is applied to remove the time-dependent variable in the di usion equation. For nonharmonic initial conditions this gives rise to a non-homogeneous modiΓΏed Helmholtz equation which we solve by the method of fundamental solutions. To do this a particular solution must be obtained
TO THE MEMORY OF PASQUALE PORCELLI A successive approximation process for a class of nth order nonlinear partial differential equations on EV,, is given. Analytic solutions are found by iteration. The pairing between initial estimates and limiting functions forms a basis for the study of boundary co
We consider Dirichlet boundary value problems for a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations motivated by the study of radial solutions of equations which are perturbations of the p -Laplacian.
## Abstract We solve a Fuchsian system of singular nonlinear partial differential equations with resonances. These equations have no smooth solutions in general. We show the solvability in a class of finitely smooth functions. Typical examples are a homology equation for a vector field and a degene
