In the past, polynomial particular solutions have been obtained for certain types of partial differential operators without convection terms. In this paper, a closed-form particular solution for more general partial differential operators with constant coefficients has been derived for polynomial basis functions. The newly derived particular solution is further coupled with the method of particular solutions (MPS) for numerically solving a large class of elliptic partial differential equations. In contrast to the use of Chebyshev polynomial basis functions, the proposed approach is more flexible in selecting the collocation points inside the domain. The polynomial basis functions are well-known for yielding ill-conditioned systems when their order becomes large. The multiple scale technique is applied to circumvent the difficulty of ill-conditioning problem. Five numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
