Objectives

This course aims at giving the mathematical foundations for the study of partial differential equations posed in an unbounded domain. We will focus on model equations (Laplace, Helmholtz, wave equation) to present the mathematical framework and the main ideas for the design of numerical methods.

Keywords

Propagation phenomena. Partial differential equations. Unbounded domains.

Programme

Part I : Basic facts for stationary and harmonic problems

Part II : Time dependent problems

Part III : Focus on the Helmholtz problem in the free space

Learning Outcomes

  • To be able to identify conditions for closing a problem in an unbounded domain.
  • To be able to design a numerical method for PDEs in unbounded domains.
  • To be able to quantify the accuracy of such a numerical method.
