Abstract
The decomposition method is applied to examples of hyperbolic, parabolic,
and elliptic partial differential equations without use of linearizatlon techniques.
We consider first a nonlinear dissipative wave equation; second, a nonlinear equation
modeling convectlon-diffusion processes; and finally, an elliptic partial differential
equation.
