2. Laplace's equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace's_equation

   In mathematics and physics, Laplace's equation is a second-order partial differential equation named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, who first studied its properties.This is often written as = or =, where = = is the Laplace operator, [note 1] is the divergence operator (also symbolized "div"), is the gradient operator (also symbolized "grad"), and (,,) is a twice-differentiable real-valued function.

3. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

   Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local ...

4. Fundamental solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_solution

   Once the fundamental solution is found, it is straightforward to find a solution of the original equation, through convolution of the fundamental solution and the desired right hand side. Fundamental solutions also play an important role in the numerical solution of partial differential equations by the boundary element method.

5. Laplacian vector field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplacian_vector_field

   However, the converse is not true; not every vector field that satisfies Laplace's equation is a Laplacian vector field, which can be a point of confusion. For example, the vector field v = ( x y , y z , z x ) {\displaystyle {\bf {v}}=(xy,yz,zx)} satisfies Laplace's equation, but it has both nonzero divergence and nonzero curl and is not a ...

6. Green's function for the three-variable Laplace equation

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_function_for_the...

   The free-space circular cylindrical Green's function (see below) is given in terms of the reciprocal distance between two points. The expression is derived in Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics. [1] Using the Green's function for the three-variable Laplace operator, one can integrate the Poisson equation in

7. Laplace operator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_operator

   The Laplace–Beltrami operator also can be generalized to an operator (also called the Laplace–Beltrami operator) which operates on tensor fields, by a similar formula. Another generalization of the Laplace operator that is available on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds uses the exterior derivative , in terms of which the "geometer's Laplacian" is ...
