  2. 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 ...

  3. Boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_value_problem

    Boundary value problems are similar to initial value problems.A boundary value problem has conditions specified at the extremes ("boundaries") of the independent variable in the equation whereas an initial value problem has all of the conditions specified at the same value of the independent variable (and that value is at the lower boundary of the domain, thus the term "initial" value).

  4. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    The method of images (or method of mirror images) is a mathematical tool for solving differential equations, in which boundary conditions are satisfied by combining a solution not restricted by the boundary conditions with its possibly weighted mirror image. Generally, original singularities are inside the domain of interest but the function is ...

  5. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    Using the SAT technique, the boundary conditions of the PDE are imposed weakly, where the boundary values are "pulled" towards the desired conditions rather than exactly fulfilled. If the tuning parameters (inherent to the SAT technique) are chosen properly, the resulting system of ODE's will exhibit similar energy behavior as the continuous ...

    Let be a domain (an open and connected set) in .Let be the Laplace operator, let be a bounded function on the boundary, and consider the problem: {() =, = (),It can be shown that if a solution exists, then () is the expected value of () at the (random) first exit point from for a canonical Brownian motion starting at .

  7. 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.

  8. Viscosity solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_solution

    The solution to a boundary problem with generalized boundary conditions is solvable whenever the comparison principle holds. [ 4 ] The stability of solutions in L ∞ {\displaystyle L^{\infty }} holds as follows: a locally uniform limit of a sequence of solutions (or subsolutions, or supersolutions) is a solution (or subsolution, or supersolution).

  9. PDE-constrained optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDE-constrained_optimization

    PDE-constrained optimization is a subset of mathematical optimization where at least one of the constraints may be expressed as a partial differential equation. [1] Typical domains where these problems arise include aerodynamics , computational fluid dynamics , image segmentation , and inverse problems . [ 2 ]
