A test of the DV method with an exactly soluble transport problem
Abstract
A special one-dimensional transport equation is solved by the variational technique of Djukic and Vujanovic (1971). Reasonable ansatz with one, two and three variational parameters are used. The variational solution is compared with the exact solution and its least mean-square approximation for the same ansatz.
