Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement:
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
Course specific prerequisites
A solid background in modern linear algebra and calculus in one and several variables. A solid background in Fourier analysis, especially the method of separation of variables for solving PDEs.
Aim
This course gives an introduction to the modern theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) with applications in science and engineering. It also presents an introduction to the finite element method as a general tool for numerical solution of PDEs.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Derive weak formulations of the basic initial-boundary value problems for PDEs.
- Derive stability estimates for the continuous problems and predict the influence of data.
- Formulate Galerkin finite element methods for PDEs and dynamical systems.
- Derive erroe estimates using exact solution (a priori) and numerical solution (a posteriori).
- Understand how the finite element method is implemented in computer code.
- Improve the error estimates modifying the method or employing adaptive procedure.
- Draw relevant conclusions about stability, reliability and efficiency of the methods.
Content
Weak solutions to elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDE). Computation of approximate solutions to various PDE by the finite element method (as well as dynamical systems). Interpolation, quadrature and linear systems. A brief introduction of representation theorems and
abstract theory to justify the weak (variational) approach. A priori and a posteriori error estimates. Applications to e.g. diffusion, heat conduction, and wave propagation.
More precisely the course covers following topics:
Basic interpolations theory:
Interpolation with polynomials
