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)
