Abstract

The constructive (or synthetic) methods of Chaps. 4–6 often require considerable ingenuity. Solving a given diffusion problem depends on our ability to match certain known elementary solutions of the diffusion equation to the initial and boundary conditions. It thus requires detailed knowledge of the behavior of these solutions. In contrast, this last chapter describes deductive (or analytic) methods, based mainly on the Laplace transform, that can be applied with ease to a wide variety of problems.
