I just saw an interesting presentation by Professor Adomian of U. of Georgia about his techniques for approximating any series of equations. Has anyone out there had any experience with his ideas? I am a little concerned because there is no general proof claimed which show that this process works on any system, but he has shown it to be extremely effective in several thousand "real" physics problems and other dynamic systems. What is interesting is that the algorithm can be applied to *any* system, PDEs, algebraic operators, sparse matrices, whatever. It is also any extremely straightforward process based on a rather clever idea. So, if anyone out there has worked with this, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance.
