Abstract In this paper we present a mesh-free approach to numerically solving a class of second order time dependent partial differential equations which include equations of parabolic, hyperbolic and parabolic-hyperbolic types. For numerical purposes, a variety of transformations is used to convert these equations to standard reaction-diffusion and wave equation forms. To solve initial boundary value problems for these equations, the time dependence is removed by either the Laplace or the Laguerre transform or time differencing, which converts the problem into one of solving a sequence of boundary value problems for inhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations.
