Abstract:
In this paper we show that the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional heat equation, though non-well posed in the sense of Hadamard, can be solved numerically. It is shown that if we admit as solutions functions for which an a priori bound is assumed in some finite rectangle in x — t space then the solution depends Hölder continuously upon the given Cauchy data. The specific numerical scheme developed also exhibits the Hölder continuity so that we are sure of a meaningful numerical method.References
