  Partial differential equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Partial differential equations are used to formulate and solve problems that involve unknown functions of several variables, such as the propagation of sound or heat, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid flow, elasticity, or more generally any process that is distributed in space, or distributed in space and time.
A solution of a partial differential equation is generally not unique; additional conditions must generally be specified on the boundary of the region where the solution is defined.
Although the issue of the existence and uniqueness of solutions of ordinary differential equations has a very satisfactory answer with the Picard-Lindelöf theorem, that is far from the case for partial differential equations.

 Elliptic operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an elliptic operator is one of the major types of differential operator P.
An important example of an elliptic operator is the Laplacian.
The usual partial differential equations involving time, such as the heat equation and the Schrödinger equation, also contain elliptic operators involving the spatial variables, as well as time derivatives.

We present a symbolic computation procedure for deriving various high order compact difference approximation schemes for certain three dimensional linear elliptic partial differential equations with variable coefficients.
Based on the Maple software package, we approximate the leading terms in the truncation error of the Taylor series expansion of the governing equation and obtain a 19 point fourth order compact difference scheme for a general linear elliptic partial differential equation.
This symbolic derivation method is simple and can be easily used to derive high order difference approximation schemes for other similar linear elliptic partial differential equations.

 Computer Code for Analysis of Stress in Silicon Wafers
Gravitational stress and wafer displacements are computed by solving the fourth-order elliptic partial differential equation governing elastic deformation of thin plates.
A nonlinear equation solver is used to determine the fraction of the wafer weight carried on each support element, including cases in which the wafer may not contact all supports.
Thermal stresses are also determined analytically by evaluating known integral solutions for the case of an axisymmetric temperature field that varies quadratically with distance from the wafer's center.

In the standard formulation, the quadratic spline is computed by making the residual of the differential equations zero at a set of collocation points; the resulting error is second order, while the error associated with quadratic spline interpolation is fourth order locally at certain points and third order globally.
A variety of solvers for the spline collocation equations arising from the discretisation of elliptic Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are considered.
In the case of quadratic spline collocation equations, in addition to the PCG method, we have developed a scaled Jacobi scheme for its solution, which is formulated and analyzed in Section 3.

The boundary element method  [Brebbia:83a], [Cruse:75a] has been used for many applications where it is necessary to solve a linear elliptic partial differential equation.
Because of the linearity of the underlying differential equation, there is a Green's function expressing the solution throughout the three-dimensional domain in terms of the behavior at the boundaries, so that the problem may be transformed into an integral equation   on the boundary.
The discrete approximation to this integral equation results in the solution of a full set of simultaneous linear equations, one equation for each node of the boundary mesh; the conventional finite-difference  method would result in solving a sparse set of equations, one for each node of a mesh-filling space.

I have also supervised students working on the geometry and thermodynamics of DNA supercoiling, and on singularity formation in nonlinear wave equations, such as arise in gauge theory.
I have also been looking at both the geometric non-linear Schrodinger equation and the wave map equation in 2+1 dimensions, which is the dimension in which the energy for both equations is scale invariant.
Most of my earlier work was in elliptic partial differential equations, particularly scale invariant systems such as the harmonic map equation in two dimension and the Yang-Mills equations in four dimensions.

Abstract: In this notes we describe the basic ideas and techniques used to prove existence and uniqueness results for viscosity solution of elliptic partial differential equations.
The aim is to give a simple description of the basic ideas and motivations behind the definition of viscosity solution, thus the description is sometimes lacking in details and precision.
The third, and last, part is devoted to the discussion of general stability results, the Perron's method to prove existence and some remarks on the proof of the comparison result for the second order case.

Based on the duality between the interface domain decomposition (or DD) methods and the capacitance matrix (or CM) methods in domain imbedding and on the existing results for preconditioning non-symmetric and indefinite finite element elliptic problems preconditioners of optimal order for the CM problems are constructed.
The major part of the preconditioning then is reduced to solving systems with preconditioners for the capacitance matrix that corresponds to the principal symmetric and coercive part of the elliptic operator.
To demonstrate the viability of applicative programming in the context of parallel computing quantitative results from an experiment that consists of developing a multigrid elliptic Partial Differential Equation solver are presented.
