  2. PDE surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDE_surface

    The PDE method involves generating a surface for some boundary by means of solving an elliptic partial differential equation of the form (+) (,) =Here (,) is a function parameterised by the two parameters and such that (,) = ((,), (,), (,)) where , and are the usual cartesian coordinate space.

  3. 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.

  4. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    The practical application of FEM is known as finite element analysis (FEA). FEA, as applied in engineering, is a computational tool for performing engineering analysis. It includes the use of mesh generation techniques for dividing a complex problem into smaller elements, as well as the use of software coded with a FEM algorithm.

  5. Method of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_lines

    Method of lines - the example, which shows the origin of the name of method. The method of lines (MOL, NMOL, NUMOL [1] [2] [3]) is a technique for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) in which all but one dimension is discretized.

  6. COMSOL Multiphysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMSOL_Multiphysics

    COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element analyzer, solver, and simulation software package for various physics and engineering applications, especially coupled phenomena and multiphysics. The software facilitates conventional physics-based user interfaces and coupled systems of partial differential equations ( PDEs ).

  7. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    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.

  8. Geometric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_analysis

    Geometric analysis is a mathematical discipline where tools from differential equations, especially elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), are used to establish new results in differential geometry and differential topology. The use of linear elliptic PDEs dates at least as far back as Hodge theory.

  9. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_partial...

    A parabolic partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation (PDE). Parabolic PDEs are used to describe a wide variety of time-dependent phenomena in, i.a., engineering science, quantum mechanics and financial mathematics. Examples include the heat equation, time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the Black–Scholes ...
