OPAL

In the lecture, the participant should be familiarized with methods (analytical and numerical) for the solution of partial differential equations relevant to materials science.
be made familiar with

• Linear stability analysis of partial differential equations
• Pattern formation & reaction-diffusion systems
• Finite difference method
• Fourier transforms
• Diffusion processes
• Finite Element Method

The subject of the practical course is an introduction to the numerical solution of partial differential equations and to the Finite-Element Method
