  • 25 – Partial Differential Equations and Special Functions
    Handbook of Mathematical Formulas and Integrals, 2004
    Co-Authors: Alan Jeffrey
    Abstract:

    Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on partial differential Equations (PDE) and special functions. The chapter presents a classification of Equations; discusses the method of separation of variables; and reviews the Sturm-Liouville problem and special functions. A boundary value problem for a PDE arises when its solution is required to satisfy conditions on a boundary in space. If, however, one of the independent variables is the time t and the solution is required to satisfy certain conditions when t = 0, this leads to an initial value problem for the PDE. Many physical situations involve a combination of both of these situations, and they then lead to an initial boundary value problem. When a PDE subject to auxiliary conditions gives rise to a solution that is unique (except possibly for an arbitrary additive constant), and depends continuously on the data in the auxiliary conditions, it is said to be well posed or properly posed. The method of separation of variables is a technique for the determination of the solution of a boundary value or an initial value problem for a Linear Homogeneous Equation that involves attempting to separate the spatial behavior of a solution from its time variation (temporal behavior).

  • Establishing Conditions on the Degree of Regularity of Linear Homogeneous Equations
    arXiv: Combinatorics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Nathan Johns
    Abstract:

    In 1933, Rado conjectured that for any positive integer n, there is always a Linear Homogeneous Equation with degree of regularity n. In proving this conjecture, Alexeev and Tsimerman, and independently Golowich, found that some Equations in n variables have degree of regularity n-1 for any value of n. Their work left many questions as to how and which other properties of Equations are closely tied to the degree of regularity, and if there is a simpler or more effective way of thinking about it. In this paper, we answer some of these questions, prove that various families of Linear Homogeneous Equations in n variables have degree of regularity n-1, and establish some conditions under which this property holds.
