  2. Elliptic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_partial...

    In mathematics, an elliptic partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation (PDE). In mathematical modeling , elliptic PDEs are frequently used to model steady states , unlike parabolic PDE and hyperbolic PDE which generally model phenomena that change in time.

  3. Kansa method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansa_method

    Kansa method has recently been extended to various ordinary and PDEs including the bi-phasic and triphasic mixture models of tissue engineering problems, [14] [15] 1D nonlinear Burger's equation [16] with shock wave, shallow water equations [17] for tide and current simulation, heat transfer problems, [18] free boundary problems, [19] and ...

  4. Hyperbolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_partial...

    In mathematics, a hyperbolic partial differential equation of order is a partial differential equation (PDE) that, roughly speaking, has a well-posed initial value problem for the first derivatives. [ citation needed ] More precisely, the Cauchy problem can be locally solved for arbitrary initial data along any non-characteristic hypersurface .

  5. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  6. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_partial...

    A parabolic partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation (PDE). Parabolic PDEs are used to describe a wide variety of time-dependent phenomena in, i.a., engineering science, quantum mechanics and financial mathematics. Examples include the heat equation, time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the Black–Scholes ...

  7. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation. The method is to reduce a partial differential equation (PDE) to a family of ordinary differential equations (ODE) along which the solution can be integrated from some initial data ...

  8. Elliptic operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_operator

    Elliptic operators are typical of potential theory, and they appear frequently in electrostatics and continuum mechanics. Elliptic regularity implies that their solutions tend to be smooth functions (if the coefficients in the operator are smooth). Steady-state solutions to hyperbolic and parabolic equations generally solve elliptic equations.

  9. Discontinuous Galerkin method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuous_Galerkin_method

    In applied mathematics, discontinuous Galerkin methods (DG methods) form a class of numerical methods for solving differential equations.They combine features of the finite element and the finite volume framework and have been successfully applied to hyperbolic, elliptic, parabolic and mixed form problems arising from a wide range of applications.
