Assignment #7: Advanced Engineering Mathematics II Fall 1400
1. You are asked to read some of the fundamental references on Adomian Decomposition Method
(ADM) (Adomian; 1984, 1986, 1994) and elaborate on advantages and disadvantages of this method
compared to some more traditional methods such as FEM, MOC, DQM, . . . .
2. Use ADM to obtain the exact solution of the following PDE using both x-solution and y-solution
and compare your results with the one obtained from MOC.
∂u ∂u
+ = 2x + 2y, u(x, 0) = x2 , u(0, y) = y 2
∂x ∂y
How can you justify invariant effect of u(x, 0) = x2 on x-solution and u(0, y) = y 2 on y-solution?
3. Use ADM to solve the following PDEs and compare your results with MOC:
(a) x ∂u
∂x
+ ∂u
∂y
= u, u(x, 0) = 1 + x, u(0, y) = ey
Can we go for x-solution of the PDE? You may want to take a look at Rach et al. (1992)
∂u
(b) ∂x
+ y ∂u
∂y
+ z ∂u
∂z
= 3u, u(0, y, z) = yz, u(x, 0, z) = 0, u(x, y, 0) = 0
4. Use ADM and the noise terms phenomenon introduced by Wazwaz (1997) to solve the following
PDE:
∂u ∂u
− = (1 + y)e−x + (1 + x)e−y , u(x, 0) = x, u(0, y) = y
∂x ∂y
5. Use the modified ADM proposed by Wazwaz (2006) to solve the following PDE:
∂u ∂u
+x = 1 + x cosh y, u(0, y) = 1 + sinh y
∂x ∂y
Compare the number of iterations to obtain the solution if you did not consider the Modified ADM.
6. Use ADM to solve the following systems of first-order PDEs and if possible compare your solution
with MOC.

One cool judgement is worth a dozen hasty councils. The thing to do is to supply light and
not heat.
