Abstract

Laplace equation is a fundamental equation of applied mathematics.Important phenomena in engineering and physics, such as steady-state temperature distribution, electrostatic potential and fluid flow, are modeled by means of this equation.The Laplace equation which satisfies boundary values is known as the Dirichlet problem.The solutions to the Dirichlet problem form one of the most celebrated topics in the area of applied mathematics.In this study, a novel method is presented for the solution of two-dimensional heat equation for a rectangular plate.In this alternative method, the solution function of the problem is based on the Green function, and therefore on elliptic functions.
