Abstract

Based on a method of finite element model and combined with matrix theory, a method for solving differential equation with variable coefficients is proposed. With the method, it is easy to deal with the differential equations with variable coefficients. On most occasions and due to the nonuniformity nature, nonlinearity property can cause the equations of the kinds. Using the model, the satisfactory valuable results with only a few units can be obtained.
