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.
Regularity is a topic of the mathematical study of partial differential equations(PDE) such as Laplace's equation, about the integrability and differentiability of weak solutions. Hilbert's nineteenth problem was concerned with this concept. [1] The motivation for this study is as follows. [2]
In many practical partial differential equations, one has a term that involves derivatives (such as a kinetic energy contribution), and a multiplication with a function (for example, a potential). In the spectral method, the solution is expanded in a suitable set of basis functions, for example plane waves,
Here we assume that the reader is familiar with partial differential equations. We will be solving the partial differential equation u xx + u yy = f (**) We impose boundedness at infinity. We decompose the domain R² into two overlapping subdomains H 1 = (− ∞,1] × R and H 2 = [0,+ ∞) × R. In each subdomain, we will be solving a BVP of ...
In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations.Typically, it applies to first-order equations, though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation.
The general solution to the first order partial differential equation is a solution which contains an arbitrary function. But, the solution to the first order partial differential equations with as many arbitrary constants as the number of independent variables is called the complete integral. The following n-parameter family of solutions

In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...
