We present an automatic three-dimensional mesh generation system for the solution of the PoissonαBoltzmann equation using a finite element discretization. The different algorithms presented allow the construction of a tetrahedral mesh using a predetermined spatial distribution of vertices adapted to

β¦ Synopsis
A symbolic procedure for deriving various finite difference approximations for the three-dimensional Poisson equation is described. Based on the software package Mathematica, we utilize for the formulation local solutions of the differential equation and obtain the standard second-order scheme (7-point), three fourthorder finite difference schemes (15-point, 19-point, 21-point), and one sixth-order scheme (27-point). The symbolic method is simple and can be used to obtain the finite difference approximations for other partial differential equations.

In this article, we combine finite difference approximations (for spatial derivatives) and collocation techniques (for the time component) to numerically solve the two-dimensional heat equation. We employ, respectively, second-order and fourth-order schemes for the spatial derivatives, and the discr
