Parabolic Equations
- Nonlinear Diffusion Equations
Text.There is no text book for this course. However, there is a nice manuscript by
Prof. D. Chopp, who has taught the
course previously, that covers most of the material.
MATLAB.There are a number of tutorials and more detailed manuals of MATLAB on the web. A good starting page
is the tutorial from UMD which also
points to more detailed and extensive web resources. Please note that the current version of Matlab is
5 and it differs in some relevant respects from the older versions 3 and 4.
Matlab sample code:
Duffing oscillator: duffing.m
euler.m
f.m
stepeuler.m
Wave equation: wave.m
Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation
Assignments:
There will be homework assignments that cover theoretical and practical
(including coding) aspects. There will also be some larger programming
projects.
