(Kurskod på GU: MAN665.)
The examination is ready. The results are here.
This course is a continuation of TMA372 (TMA690) Partial Differential Equations and treats more deeply the theory of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations, as well as numerical methods and applications in engineering and physics.
The course is suitable for students in the TM programme of Chalmers, undergraduate students in mathematics of the Göteborg University, and graduate students in applied subjects at Chalmers.
Contents
Existence and regularity of solutions of linear ordinary differential
equations and linear elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic partial
differential equations. The maximum principle. Finite element and
finite difference methods. Error estimates. Applications to heat
conduction, wave propagation, convection-diffusion, reaction-diffusion,
neutron transport.
Preparations
It is recommended that the students have taken
TMA372
(or
TMA690)
Partial Differential Equations and
TMA401
Functional Analysis,
but this is not absolutely necessary.
