Abstract

In this paper, we present a new method for solving 1D time dependent partial differential equations based on the Laplace transform (LT). As a result, the problem is converted into a stationary boundary value problem (BVP) which depends on the parameter of LT. The resulting BVP is solved by the polynomial Trefftz method (PTM), which can be regarded as a meshless method. In PTM, the source term is approximated by a truncated series of Chebyshev polynomials and the particular solution is obtained from a recursive procedure. Talbot’s method is employed for the numerical inversion of LT. The method is tested with the help of some numerical examples.
