Abstract
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd In this paper, we apply the method of approximate particular solutions (MAPS) based on the trigonometric functions to solve the fourth order partial differential equations (PDEs) through the use of particular solutions of two second order differential equations. The derivation of the closed-form particular solutions for higher order PDEs is a challenge and could be tedious. Such task can be achieved by a simple algebraic procedure to alleviate the difficulty of the derivation of particular solutions for fourth order PDEs. Since the closed-form particular solutions for the second order PDEs with constant coefficients are known, the proposed solution procedure is simple and direct. Five numerical examples are illustrated to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
