Heat conduction is one of the three basic modes of heat transfer that pervasively exists in a wide variety of engineering fields. As this physical process can be quantitatively described by the heat conduction equation, how to solve this partial differential equation (PDE) has become the core of the research. Since the publication of ‘The analytical theory of heat’ in 1822, a series of methods have been proposed by researchers. Among them, analytical methods are only applicable to objects with highly symmetrical geometry while numerical methods are more practical in real-site situations. Unfortunately, numerical methods are resource-demanding and computationally ...
