The Solution Of Boundary Value Problems By Use Of The Laplace Transformation As Compared With Classical Methods, Dan W. Stoddard May 1952

The Solution Of Boundary Value Problems By Use Of The Laplace Transformation As Compared With Classical Methods, Dan W. Stoddard

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this paper is to present a study of different methods of solving certain boundary value problems. In particular it will be concerned with solutions by classical methods and by operational methods. Of the various operational methods that may be considered, the Laplace transformation appears to be the best(1) and will be used in this paper.

In the 1951 Encyclopedia Americana Annual is this report on the activities in applied mathematics for the previous year:

Progress was made on the general problem of finding the eigenvalues of matrices and systems of differential equations. Considerable effort was also …
