### PDE - Conservative form, conservative methods and discrete conservation

I cannot find a reference explaining clearly and rigorously the links between the notions of conservative form for a PDE, a conservative numerical method and discrete conservation. I would be very ...

### How to parallelize a banded direct solver?

I have a linear system whose matrix that is diagonally dominant, non-symmetric, but banded. Since the band-radius is 2 (producing only 5 variables per equation), a banded direct solver (gaussian ...

### method of frozen coefficients and its relation to von Neumann stability analysis

I am considering two equations $$u_t=a(x)u_{xx}$$ and $$v_t=b(x)v_x$$ as classical representatives of the parabolic and hyperbolic family of equations. If $a(x)=a$ and $b(x)=b$ were constants, to show ...

### Is there a mesh generator that will generate zero thickness elements for interfaces?

I have a geometry and a finite element method where there are a couple internal interfaces across which I want to enforce some fairly simple jump conditions. One recommendation I've gotten has been ...

### adjoint method for reaction-diffusion problem

I'm trying to code a parameter estimation for a reaction-diffusion problem. Namely, knowing the distribution of tumor density $u$ at time $0$ and $T_f$ ($u^0$ and $u^f$), what are the best ...

### Imposing boundary conditions for PDE quadratic eigenvalue problem

I have a quadratic eigenvalue problem of the form: $$(A_2 s^2 + A_1 s + A_0)\hat{v} = 0$$ where $s$ is the eigenvalue. The matrices $A_i$ contain derivatives up to order six, and I have six boundary ...
