TMA4305 Partielle differensialligninger våren 2010
Kursbeskrivelse finnes i studiehåndboka.
A partial differential equation is an equation involving a function in several variables and its partial derivatives. Many natural laws come in the form of differential equations. Thus the partial differential equations are fundamental in science, in particular in physics, astronomy,and mathematical modelling. They also occur in pure mathematics. The course aims at giving the student a good understanding of the basic methods in this interesting field of mathematical analysis.
Beskjeder
- The first lecture is on Thursday the 14th of January 2010. The exercises begin on Tuesday the 19th.
- Example §2.2: 3 seems to be wrong. The second derivatives do not exist on the line x = y and hence it cannot be a solution there. However, the given function is a weak solution in the whole plane
- The calculation in § 3.3b (Domain of Dependence) is far too complicated. A succinct approach is in Evans's book §2.4.3b.
- The chapter about Green's functions in Strauss's book is easy to absorb.
- L^p -spaces and Sobolev Spaces. Somewhat too advanced notes.
- L^p -spaces and Sobolev Spaces. Simpler version, edited.
