  2. Forcing function (differential equations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forcing_function...

    In a system of differential equations used to describe a time-dependent process, a forcing function is a function that appears in the equations and is only a function of time, and not of any of the other variables.

  3. 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.

  4. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    on the domain. (The ellipticity condition for the PDE, namely the positivity of the function AC – B 2, is what ensures that either this tensor or its negation is indeed a Riemannian metric.) Generally, for second-order quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations for functions of more than two variables, a canonical form does not exist ...

    Method of lines - the example, which shows the origin of the name of method. The method of lines (MOL, NMOL, NUMOL [1] [2] [3]) is a technique for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in which all but one dimension is discretized.
