    This report summarizes the activities performed under NASA-Grant NAG3-1097 during 1991. During that period, work centered on the following tasks: (1) to investigate more effective solvers for ALGAE; (2) to modify the plotting package for ALGAE; and (3) to validate ALGAE by simulating oscillating flow problems similar to those studied by Kurzweg and Ibrahim

    Galerkin approximations for initial value problems with known end time conditions

    AbstractGalerkin's method is used to approximate the transient solutions of intial value problems in which a steady state or advanced time state is known. A convergence theorem is established and choices of basis functions are discussed. The method is then applied to systems arising from nuclear reactor kinetics theory and the semi-discretization of parabolic two-point boundary value problems
