Numerical Methods for Higher-Dimensional Problems
Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.
The gap
The numerical methods discussed in these papers have been validated only on 2D or simpler geometries; their extension and performance on higher-dimensional problems remain unexplored.
Consensus across the literature
These papers collectively establish the effectiveness of various numerical methods on two-dimensional domains but leave open their scalability to three-dimensional or more complex geometries.
Research trend
Emerging — attention growing, methods still coalescing.

- Finite Element Method with Grünwald-Letnikov Type Approximation in Time for a Constant Time Delay Subdiffusion Equation (2026) · doi
Only one-dimensional spatial domains [0, L] are considered; extension to higher-dimensional problems is not addressed.
Keywords: dimensional spatial domains considered extension higher problems addressed - A convergent finite element scheme for the Q-tensor model of liquid crystals subjected to an electric field (2026) · doi
The scheme is tested on 2D domains only; extension and feasibility of the method for 3D problems in practical applications remains unexplored.
