  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dirichlet problem
In mathematics, Dirichlet problems are a class of partial differential equation (PDE) problems which ask you to solve for the values of a function in a region given the value of the function on the boundary of that region.
This requirement is called the Dirichlet boundary condition, for the partial differential equation that the function satisfies within the region.
Dirichlet problems are typical of elliptic partial differential equations, and potential theory, and the Laplace equation in particular.

  Dirichlet   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Dirichlet had a high teaching load at the University of Berlin, being also required to teach in the Military College and in 1853 he complained in a letter to his pupil Kronecker that he had thirteen lectures a week to give in addition to many other duties.
He turned to Laplace's problem of proving the stability of the solar system and produced an analysis which avoided the problem of using series expansion with quadratic and higher terms disregarded.
Dirichlet is also well known for his papers on conditions for the convergence of trigonometric series and the use of the series to represent arbitrary functions.

 Well-posed problem
Examples of architypal well-posed problems in include the Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation, and the heat equation with specified initial conditions.
Problems that are not well posed on the sense of Hadamard are termed ill-posed.
While in terms of functional analysis such problems are typically continuous, they may suffer from numerical instability when solved with finite precision, or with errors in the data.

Unfortunately, such a discretization scheme yields a set of equations which cannot be reduced to a simple tridiagonal matrix equation.
In fact, all of the efficient numerical algorithms for solving this type of problem are iterative in nature.
In the following, rather than discuss iterative methods which do not work very well, we shall instead discuss a non-iterative method which works effectively for a restricted set of problems.
