Solution of Linear Partial Differential Equation
Solution of Linear Partial Differential Equation
partial differential
equation.
• Separation of variables
Linear partial differential equations are convertible in system of
ordinary differential equation by separating the variables.
• Integral Transform.
An integral transform may transform the PDE to a simpler one,
in particular, a separable PDE. This corresponds to diagonalizing
an operator
• Fundamental solution.
Inhomogeneous equations can often be solved (for constant
coefficient PDEs, always be solved) by finding the fundamental
solutions the solution for a point source), then taking the
convolution with the boundary conditions to get the solution.
• Superposition principle.
The superposition principle applies to any linear system,
including linear systems of PDEs. A common visualization
of this concept is the interaction of two waves in phase
being combined to result in a greater amplitude
• Change of variables.
Often a PDE can be reduced to a simpler form with a known
solution by a suitable change of variable.
• Method of characteristics.
In special cases, one can find characteristic curves on which the
equation reduces to an ODE – changing coordinates in the
domain to straighten these curves allows separation of
variables, and is called the method of characteristics.
• Direct difference method.
First transforming by analytical methods, the mixed problem to
an equivalent purely elliptic boundary value problem and then
solve the resulting problem by finite differences.
• finite elements methods.
In the results of the finite element method for the symmetric
positive systems are used to obtain the numerical solution of a
boundary value problem for the tricomi equation.
• Analytical approximative methods.
The finite difference and the finite elements methods are only
two of the possible approaches for numerical integration of
equations of mixed type.
Solution of Non-
linear partial
differential
equation.
• Fourier Method.
It particularly used with periodic boundary conditions or
regions that can become periodic easily.
• Spectral decomposition.
Process of reforming a matrix in matrix terms from its eigen
values and eigen vectors.
