Heinz Otto Cordes (March 18, 1925 – October 30, 2018) was a German-American mathematician, specializing in partial differential equations (PDEs). [1] He is known for the Aronszajn–Cordes uniqueness theorem for solutions of elliptic PDEs (due independently to Nachman Aronszajn ).
The simplest example of a second-order linear elliptic PDE is the Laplace equation, in which a i,j is zero if i ≠ j and is one otherwise, and where b i = c = f = 0. The Poisson equation is a slightly more general second-order linear elliptic PDE, in which f is not required to vanish.
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.
Admissible limiter region for second-order TVD schemes. Unless indicated to the contrary, the above limiter functions are second order TVD. This means that they are designed such that they pass through a certain region of the solution, known as the TVD region, in order to guarantee stability of the scheme.

The sine-Gordon equation is a second-order nonlinear partial differential equation for a function dependent on two variables typically denoted and , involving the wave operator and the sine of . It was originally introduced by Edmond Bour ( 1862 ) in the course of study of surfaces of constant negative curvature as the Gauss–Codazzi equation ...
where is a second-order elliptic operator (implying that must be positive; a case where = + is considered below). A system of partial differential equations for a vector can also be parabolic. For example, such a system is hidden in an equation of the form
