  2. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    Since the heat equation is linear, solutions of other combinations of boundary conditions, inhomogeneous term, and initial conditions can be found by taking an appropriate linear combination of the above Green's function solutions.

  3. Boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_value_problem

    Any solution function will both solve the heat equation, and fulfill the boundary conditions of a temperature of 0 K on the left boundary and a temperature of 273.15 K on the right boundary. A boundary condition which specifies the value of the function itself is a Dirichlet boundary condition, or first-type boundary condition. For example, if ...

  4. Stefan problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_problem

    This is accomplished by solving heat equations in both regions, subject to given boundary and initial conditions. At the interface between the phases (in the classical problem) the temperature is set to the phase change temperature. To close the mathematical system a further equation, the Stefan condition, is required. This is an energy balance ...

  5. Heat kernel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_kernel

    In the mathematical study of heat conduction and diffusion, a heat kernel is the fundamental solution to the heat equation on a specified domain with appropriate boundary conditions. It is also one of the main tools in the study of the spectrum of the Laplace operator, and is thus of some auxiliary importance throughout mathematical physics.

  6. Robin boundary condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_boundary_condition

    In mathematics, the Robin boundary condition (/ ˈrɒbɪn /; properly French: [ʁɔbɛ̃]), or third type boundary condition, is a type of boundary condition, named after Victor Gustave Robin (1855–1897). [1] When imposed on an ordinary or a partial differential equation, it is a specification of a linear combination of the values of a ...

  7. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    The particles undergo a characteristic cooling process, with the heat profile at = for initial temperature as the maximum at = and = at = and =, and the heat profile at = for as the boundary conditions. Splat cooling rapidly ends in a steady state temperature, and is similar in form to the Gaussian diffusion equation.

  8. Free boundary problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_boundary_problem

    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 of the boundary of which is not known at the outset of the problem is the free boundary. FBs arise in various mathematical models encompassing applications ...

  9. Lions–Lax–Milgram theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions–Lax–Milgram_theorem

    Lions–Lax–Milgram theorem. In mathematics, the Lions–Lax–Milgram theorem (or simply Lions's theorem) is a result in functional analysis with applications in the study of partial differential equations. It is a generalization of the famous Lax–Milgram theorem, which gives conditions under which a bilinear function can be "inverted" to ...
