July 13[edit]

name for equation?[edit]

Is there a name for partial differential equations of the form ${\frac {\partial ^{2}}{{\partial x}^{2}}}V=K{\frac {\partial }{\partial t}}V$ ?

I believe this is the heat equation in one dimension. --RDBury (talk) 00:24, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That takes me to Parabolic partial differential equation, which is what I'm looking for. RJFJR (talk) 01:16, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
