| Abstract | Examples of partial differential equations. Linear partial differential equations. Separation of variables. Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace transform. Applications to solving commonly encountered linear partial differential equations (Laplace's Equation, Heat Equation, Wave Equation). |
| Learning objective | Classical tools to solve the most common linear partial differential equations. |
| Content | 1) Examples of partial differential equations - Classification of PDEs - Superposition principle 2) One-dimensional wave equation - D'Alembert's formula - Duhamel's principle 3) Fourier series - Representation of piecewise continuous functions via Fourier series - Examples and applications 4) Separation of variables - Solution of wave and heat equation - Homogeneous and inhomogeneous boundary conditions - Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions 5) Laplace equation - Solution of Laplace's equation on the rectangle, disk and annulus - Poisson formula - Mean value theorem and maximum principle 6) Fourier transform - Derivation and definition - Inverse Fourier transformation and inversion formula - Interpretation and properties of the Fourier transform - Solution of the heat equation 7) Laplace transform (if time allows) - Definition, motivation and properties - Inverse Laplace transform of rational functions - Application to ordinary differential equations |
