A segmented Adomian algorithm for the boundary value problem of a second-order partial differential equation on a plane triangle area

Abstract

Abstract For the boundary value problem (BVP) of a second-order partial differential equation on a plane triangle area, we propose a new algorithm based on the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) combined with a segmented technique. In addition, we present a new theorem that ensures the convergence of the algorithm. By this algorithm, the model for the effect of regional recharge on the plane triangle groundwater flow region is solved, from which we obtain the segmented exact solution of the problem, which satisfies the governing equation and all of the specified boundary conditions. Then, by the algorithm combined with Taylor’s formula, the heterogeneous aquifer model on the plane triangle groundwater flow region is considered, from which we obtain the segmented high-precision approximate solution of the problem.
