Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations 2

Goal of the course is to introduce the concepts of numerical modelling for partial differential equations. We will mainly consider elliptic equations and numerical methods based on finite elements, classic and mixed formulations. Moreover, the course addressed in detail during lab hours algorithmic topics and leads the students to the complete implementation of the proposed methods on MATLAB

The course provides the bases to face the finite element discretization of partial derivatives equations for significant differential model problems. At the end of the course, the student should be able to choose stable finite element discretizations for such problems and to provide convergence estimates. Moreover, he/she should be able, starting from the provided material, to implement a numerical code to solve the problems on a computer
