“…The presented PDE 7, combined with adequate BCs, can be solved for known ICs by using different approaches, such as by applying finite differences (FDs) [28], [42], [43], [49], [51], finite elements (FEs) [9], [34], [42]- [44], [57], mesh-free techniques [30], [36], [41], [48], spatial averaging methods [48], [50], [84], equivalent circuit approximation [62], fractional derivatives [32], [54], or by tackling the problem analytically [46]. Most of these approaches rely on some kind of discretization, whereas, usually, a system of non-linear Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is obtained from the PDE (7).…”
