Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 59, No. 200 (Oct., 1992), pp. 403-420 (18 pages) We apply Runge-Kutta methods to linear partial differential equations of the form u t (x, t) = L (x, ∂)u(x, t) + f(x, ...

This paper develops ellipticity estimates and discretization error bounds for elliptic equations (with lower-order terms) that are reformulated as a least-squares ...

Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really isn’t ...

Sometimes, it’s easy for a computer to predict the future. Simple phenomena, such as how sap flows down a tree trunk, are straightforward and can be captured in a few lines of code using what ...
