ABSTRACT

The problem of two dimensional steady-state heat conduction in a medium composed of two homogeneous and isotropic, but physically dissimilar materials is discretized with the method of lines to obtain a system of second order differential equations with multipoint boundary conditions. This differential system is converted, using invariant imbedding for each one dimensional problem, into a fixed point problem and then sequential and parallel asynchronous algorithms are applied.
