Partial Differential Equations CHAPTER! Modelling of a process that is distributed in space and time generally leads to a px differential equation (PDE). The issue of existence and uniqueness of solution in case of? 's not straight one as like that an ODE. The solution of a PDE involves arbitrary funetios is generally not unique. Some additional conditions are needed to be specified on boundary of the region where the solution is defined. Further there are no generally appl methods to solve non-linear PDE's.” 19.1 BASIC CONCEPTS An equation which involves more than one independepent variable and one or mor derivatives of the dependent variable with respect to them is called a partial diferent (PDE). Mathematical models of physical situations involving two or more independent often lead to partial differential equations.
