Elliptic Partial Differential EquationA second-order Partial Differential Equation, i.e., one of the form
| (1) |
is called elliptic if the Matrix

is Positive Definite. Laplace's Equation and Poisson's Equation are examplesof elliptic partial differential equations. For an elliptic partial differential equation, Boundary Conditions are usedto give the constraint on , where
