solve

public Solution<ParabolicEquation> solve(ParabolicEquation eqn,
 double h,
 double tau)

Solves parabolic partial differential equation using numerical method. Uses implicit finite difference scheme with weights for derivative approximation. Solution is found using the Thomas algorithm on each time step.

Parameters:

eqn - parabolic partial differential equation to solve

h - spatial step size (must be positive)

tau - time step size (must be positive)

Returns:

equation solution containing function values at all grid points

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if parameters h or tau are non-positive
