Abstract

First, the author gives an overview on the computer algebraic study of partial differential equation. Second, he introduces a new hybrid symbolic-numeric method and gives a scheme to construct an approximate general solution. His techniques are likely to have wide applicability, since the key idea of the algorithm is a rearrangement of the finite difference method. Third, he shows several practical examples; he constructs approximate general solutions to heat equation, Laplace equation, etc.
