Abstract
Dirichlet boundary value problem of quasilinear elliptic equation is numerically solved by using a new concept of fictitious time integration method (FTIM). We introduce a fictitious time coordinate t by transforming the dependent variable u(x,y) into a new one by (1+t)u(x,y )= : v(x,y,t), such that the origi- nal equation is naturally and mathematically equivalently written as a quasilinear parabolic equation, including a viscous damping coefficient to enhance stability in the numerical integration of spatially semi-discretized equation as an ordinary dif- ferential equations set on grid points. Six examples of Laplace, Poisson, reaction diffusion, Helmholtz, the minimal surface, as well as the explosion equations are tested. It is interesting that the FTIM can easily treat the nonlinear boundary value problems without any iteration and has high efficiency and high accuracy. Due to the dissipation nature of the resulting parabolic equation, the FTIM is insensitive to the guess of initial conditionsand approaches the true solution very fast.
