The Use of Kruskal-Newton Diagrams for Differential Equations
Authors: T. Fishaleck and R.B. White
Abstract:
The method of Kruskal-Newton diagrams for the solution of differential equations with boundary layers is shown to provide rapid intuitive understanding of layer scaling and can result in the conceptual simplification of some problems. The method is illustrated using equations arising in the theory of pattern formation and in plasma physics.
