Abstract
A linear boundary value problem for a parabolic equation is considered in a closed domain. Based on the broken line method, the boundary value problem for a parabolic equation is replaced by a two-point boundary value problem for a system of linear ordinary differential equations by discretizing the unknown function u(t,x) with respect to the variable x. The obtained two-point boundary value problem is investigated by the parameterization method of Professor Dzhumabaev. Based on this method, an algorithm for finding a numerical solution to the two-point boundary value problem for a system of linear ordinary differential equations is constructed. The constructed algorithm is realized by applying known numerical methods. The constructiveness and efficiency of the parameterization method also allows us to construct a numerical solution of the considered linear boundary value problem for the parabolic equation. One numerical example is given to verify and illustrate the proposed algorithm.
