  2. 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 ...

  4. Feynman–Kac formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman–Kac_formula

    The Feynman–Kac formula, named after Richard Feynman and Mark Kac, establishes a link between parabolic partial differential equations and stochastic processes.In 1947, when Kac and Feynman were both faculty members at Cornell University, Kac attended a presentation of Feynman's and remarked that the two of them were working on the same thing from different directions. [1]

  5. Convection–diffusion equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection–diffusion...

    The convection–diffusion equation can be derived in a straightforward way [4] from the continuity equation, which states that the rate of change for a scalar quantity in a differential control volume is given by flow and diffusion into and out of that part of the system along with any generation or consumption inside the control volume: + =, where j is the total flux and R is a net ...

  6. Diffusion equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_equation

    The diffusion equation is a parabolic partial differential equation. In physics, it describes the macroscopic behavior of many micro-particles in Brownian motion , resulting from the random movements and collisions of the particles (see Fick's laws of diffusion ).

  8. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    The shallow-water equations (SWE) are a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations (or parabolic if viscous shear is considered) that describe the flow below a pressure surface in a fluid (sometimes, but not necessarily, a free surface). [1]

  9. 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 ...
