About the Course

The course treats the numerical solution of differential equations. It emphasizes partial differential equations (PDE) and finite difference methods and finite volume schemes. Well-posedness, and stability and properties of schemes for hyperbolic systems of equations are a major concern, as well as elliptic and parabolic equations. The choice of boundary conditions has an impact on stability and well-posedness, and will be discussed. The goal of the course is to give students

Understanding of the mathematical concepts, properties and tools for analyzing differential equations and their discretizations, and ability to carry out the manipulations and calculations required.
Working knowledge and experience of implementing FD schemes with various boundary conditions
Experience of carrying out a complete solution of a computational problem - formulation, analysis, method choice, implementation, validation, and interpretation and presentation of results.

The theoretical part introduces model equations and Fourier - Continuous as well as Discrete - techniques for the analysis of equations and schemes. The theory is complemented by a set of homework and study problems, computer labs, and a larger project on the formulation, analysis, and solution of a "realistic" problem. The students are expected to have a solid background of calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra; a basic course in numerical analysis is required, as is familiarity with the NADA computer environment and MATLAB.

Examination

To pass the student must

Pass a written examination. (2 cred) The exam will consist of a selection of the distributed examination questions.
Solve the 8 homework problems. Written reports of good quality must be handed in on given deadlines. You can find a latex file with a skeleton for a report. in the course archive.

For the problem sets the students are encouraged to work in groups of two (not three), each group needs only to hand in one report. The grade on the course will be based on the written examination. The written exam is scheduled to Tuesday May 30 8.00-13.00 in rooms Q11 and Q12. You do not need to register for the exam.
