Abstract

The decomposition method is applied to examples of hyperbolic, parabolic, and elliptic partial differential equations without use of linearizatlon techniques. We consider first a nonlinear dissipative wave equation; second, a nonlinear equation modeling convectlon-diffusion processes; and finally, an elliptic partial differential equation.
