Part Eight Partial Differential Equations
Some Examples of PDEs Linear PDE: if it is linear in the unknown function andall its derivatives, with coefficients depending only on the independent variables. (Which of the above are linear?)
Steady-state PDEs – Elliptic Equations (a) Temperature distribution on a heated plate; (b) seepage of water under a dam; (3) the electric field near the point of a conductor.
Parabolic PDEs- The unknown function varies in both space and time -(only first derivative vs. time is involved)
Hyperbolic PDEs- The unknown function varies in both space and time -(The second derivative vs. time is also involved)
