Abstract

A numerical solution of

with general linear boundary conditions along x = ±1, is described where at any time t the Chebyshev expansion of θ(x, t) in –1 ≤ x ≤ 1 is computed directly. Compared with the more usual finite difference methods, this method requires much less computation and there are no stability problems. Two cases are considered in detail.
