  2. Free boundary problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_boundary_problem

    In mathematics, a free boundary problem (FB problem) is a partial differential equation to be solved for both an unknown function and an unknown domain. The segment Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } of the boundary of Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } which is not known at the outset of the problem is the free boundary .

  3. Dirichlet problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_problem

    In mathematics, a Dirichlet problem asks for a function which solves a specified partial differential equation (PDE) in the interior of a given region that takes prescribed values on the boundary of the region. [1] The Dirichlet problem can be solved for many PDEs, although originally it was posed for Laplace's equation. In that case the ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Neumann boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumann_boundary_condition

    Since the problems in magnetostatics involve solving Laplace's equation or Poisson's equation for the magnetic scalar potential, the boundary condition is a Neumann condition. In spatial ecology , a Neumann boundary condition on a reaction–diffusion system , such as Fisher's equation , can be interpreted as a reflecting boundary, such that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_lines

    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.

  9. Duhamel's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhamel's_principle

    Duhamel's principle is the result that the solution to an inhomogeneous, linear, partial differential equation can be solved by first finding the solution for a step input, and then superposing using Duhamel's integral. Suppose we have a constant coefficient, m-th order inhomogeneous ordinary differential equation.
