Despite its apparent simplicity this equation appears in a wide range of dis m heat 7 to financial er we will make extensive use of this equation, and several of the limiting cases contained therein, to illustrate the numerical techniques that will be presented
Background Developed over the last 25 years- Brandt (1973) published first paper with practical results Offers the possibility of solving a problem with work and storage proportional to the number of unknowns Well developed for linear elliptic problems application to other equations is still an active area of research
1 First Order ave Equation SLIDE 1 The simplest first order partial differential equation in two variables(a, t)is the linear wave equation. Recall that all first order PDE's are of hyperbolic type INITIAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM (IBVP) 0,x∈(0,1)
1 Motivation The Poisson problem has a strong formulation a minimization formulation and a weak formulation T weak formulations are more general than the strong formulation in terms of regularity and admissible data SLIDE 2 The minimization/weak formulations are defined by: a space X; a bilinear The minimization/weak formulations identify ESSENTIAL boundary conditions NATURAL boundary conditions ed in a The points of departure for the finite element method are the weak formulation(more generally) the minimization statement (if a is SPD) 2 The dirichlet problem 2.1 Strong Formulation Find u such that
