Foil 6 Examples of Different Types of PDE's: Laplace and Poisson Elliptic Equations

From CPS615 Module on Iterative PDE Solvers CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox

Laplace's equation (elliptic): steady state in systems of electric or magnetic fields in a vacuum or the steady flow of incompressible non-viscous fluids

Poisson's equation (elliptic): a variation of Laplace when an outside force, given by the function f, is applied to the system
