Abstract

In some papers G. Adomian has presented a decomposition technique in order to solve different non‐linear equations. The solution is found as an infinite series quickly converging to accurate solutions. The method is well‐suited for physical problems and it avoids linearization, perturbation and other restrictions, methods and assumptions which may change the problem being solved – sometimes seriously – unnecessarily. Proofs of convergence are given by Cherruault and co‐authors. Many numerical studies for physical phenomena, such as Fisher’s equation, Lorentz’s equation and Edem’s equation are given and solved. In this work, the general equation given by ∂ p \overt = (∇ ⋅(q(x)⋅ ∇p)) + f(x, t) is solved by using decomposition methods, and is compared to other techniques. This equation can be used to describe the motion of a fluid flow in the so‐called reservoir region, where p(x, t) represents the pressure distribution, f(x, t) describes the withdrawal or injection of the fluid, and q(x) is the transmissibility in the reservoir region.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present modelling and mathematical studies of neuronal NO‐synthase and discuss the case for nitric oxide (NO) versus nitroso‐arginine (NA) theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Introduces recent studies, NO studied models and the experimental model before considering the diffusion‐reaction model. Enzymatic kinetics and an analysis of systems and the NA diffusion equations in mice cortex are given. Numerical results are featured.

Findings

Based on these studies, both a bio‐mathematical and physiological conclusions are given. The way to protect the brain was to inhibit the NO‐synthase of the neurons during a stroke.

Originality/value

The paper is of value, particularly as stroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide and the most common cause of dementia in western countries. In Europe, each year, over 1,200,000 people experience a stroke.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper the authors aim to show the advantages of using the decomposition method introduced by Adomian to solve Emden's equation, a classical non‐linear equation that appears in the study of the thermal behaviour of a spherical cloud and of the gravitational potential of a polytropic fluid at hydrostatic equilibrium.

Design/methodology/approach

In their work, the authors first review Emden's equation and its possible solutions using the Frobenius and power series methods; then, Adomian polynomials are introduced. Afterwards, Emden's equation is solved using Adomian's decomposition method and, finally, they conclude with a comparison of the solution given by Adomian's method with the solution obtained by the other methods, for certain cases where the exact solution is known.

Findings

Solving Emden's equation for n in the interval [0, 5] is very interesting for several scientific applications, such as astronomy. However, the exact solution is known only for n=0, n=1 and n=5. The experiments show that Adomian's method achieves an approximate solution which overlaps with the exact solution when n=0, and that coincides with the Taylor expansion of the exact solutions for n=1 and n=5. As a result, the authors obtained quite satisfactory results from their proposal.

Originality/value

The main classical methods for obtaining approximate solutions of Emden's equation have serious computational drawbacks. The authors make a new, efficient numerical implementation for solving this equation, constructing iteratively the Adomian polynomials, which leads to a solution of Emden's equation that extends the range of variation of parameter n compared to the solutions given by both the Frobenius and the power series methods.

Abstract

This paper describes a non‐linear reaction‐diffusion equation, which models how a substance spreads in the surface of the cortex so as to avoid a massive destruction of neurones when cerebral tissue is not oxygenated correctly. For the explicit finite differences method, the necessary stability condition is provided by a reaction‐diffusion equation with non‐linearity given by a decreasing function. The solution to the non‐linear reaction‐diffusion equation of the model can be obtained via one of the two methods: the finite differences (explicit schema) method and the Adomian method.
