Initial and Boundary conditions Diffusion of nutrient across a cell membrane C: the concentration of nutrient D: the diffusivity of nutrient in the membrane
Initial and Boundary conditions Diffusion of nutrient across a cell membrane C: the concentration of nutrient D: the diffusivity of nutrient in the membrane
Initial and Boundary conditions Dirichlet conditions (first kind): the values of the dependent variables are given at fixed values of the independent variables
Initial and Boundary conditions Nuemann conditions (second kind): the derivative of the dependent variables is given as a constant or as a function of the independent variable.
Initial and Boundary conditions Cauchy conditions: a problem that combines both Dirichlet and Neumann conditions
Initial and Boundary conditions Robins conditions: the derivative of the dependent variables is given as a function of the dependent variable itself.
Initial and Boundary conditions • PDE can be classified into • initial-value problem: at least one of the independent variables has an open region • boundary-value problem: the region is closed for all independent variables, and conditions are specified at all boundaries.
Numerical Solutions of PDEs • Finite Difference • Central Difference • Forward Difference • Backward Difference
