Partial Differential Equations
This section describes how to use MATLAB to solve initial-boundary value
problems for partial differential equations (PDEs). It provides:
• A summary of the MATLAB PDE functions and examples
• An introduction to PDEs
• A description of the PDE solver and its syntax
• General instructions for representing a PDE in MATLAB, including an
example
• Instructions on evaluating the solution at specific points
• A discussion about changing default integration properties
• An example of solving a real-life problem
