Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper studies the method of lines for solving loaded parabolic equations and provides a theoretical analysis of its convergence, stability, and error estimates. The spatial discretization reduces the original equation to a system of loaded ordinary differential equations solved by the Dzhumabaev parameterization method. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution are established, and it is proved that the method achieves second-order accuracy in space and stable convergence. A numerical example confirms the efficiency and reliability of the proposed approach.
