Analytic function

In mathematics, an analytic function is a function that is locally given by a convergent power series.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Analytic function

Convolution

In mathematics (in particular, functional analysis), convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions (f and g) that produces a third function (f*g).

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Convolution

Distribution (mathematics)

Distributions, also known as Schwartz distributions or generalized functions, are objects that generalize the classical notion of functions in mathematical analysis.

Elliptic partial differential equation

Second-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) are classified as either elliptic, hyperbolic, or parabolic. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and elliptic partial differential equation are partial differential equations.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Elliptic partial differential equation

Harmonic function

In mathematics, mathematical physics and the theory of stochastic processes, a harmonic function is a twice continuously differentiable function f\colon U \to \mathbb R, where is an open subset of that satisfies Laplace's equation, that is, \frac + \frac + \cdots + \frac. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and harmonic function are harmonic functions.

Hermann Weyl

Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl, (9 November 1885 – 8 December 1955) was a German mathematician, theoretical physicist, logician and philosopher.

Hypoelliptic operator

In the theory of partial differential equations, a partial differential operator P defined on an open subset is called hypoelliptic if for every distribution u defined on an open subset V \subset U such that Pu is C^\infty (smooth), u must also be C^\infty. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and hypoelliptic operator are partial differential equations.

Laplace operator

In mathematics, the Laplace operator or Laplacian is a differential operator given by the divergence of the gradient of a scalar function on Euclidean space. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Laplace operator are harmonic functions.

Laplace's equation

In mathematics and physics, Laplace's equation is a second-order partial differential equation named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, who first studied its properties. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Laplace's equation are harmonic functions.

Lars Gårding

Lars Gårding (7 March 1919 – 7 July 2014) was a Swedish mathematician. He made notable contributions to the study of partial differential equations and partial differential operators. He was a professor of mathematics at Lund University in Sweden 1952–1984. Together with Marcel Riesz, he was a thesis advisor for Lars Hörmander.

Lars Hörmander

Lars Valter Hörmander (24 January 1931 – 25 November 2012) was a Swedish mathematician who has been called "the foremost contributor to the modern theory of linear partial differential equations".

Locally integrable function

In mathematics, a locally integrable function (sometimes also called locally summable function) is a function which is integrable (so its integral is finite) on every compact subset of its domain of definition.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes abstract objects, methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Mathematics

Mollifier

In mathematics, mollifiers (also known as approximations to the identity) are particular smooth functions, used for example in distribution theory to create sequences of smooth functions approximating nonsmooth (generalized) functions, via convolution.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Mollifier

Null set

In mathematical analysis, a null set is a Lebesgue measurable set of real numbers that has measure zero.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Null set

Open set

In mathematics, an open set is a generalization of an open interval in the real line.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Open set

Smoothness

In mathematical analysis, the smoothness of a function is a property measured by the number, called differentiability class, of continuous derivatives it has over its domain.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Smoothness

Spaces of test functions and distributions

In mathematical analysis, the spaces of test functions and distributions are topological vector spaces (TVSs) that are used in the definition and application of distributions.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Spaces of test functions and distributions

Support (mathematics)

In mathematics, the support of a real-valued function f is the subset of the function domain containing the elements which are not mapped to zero.

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Support (mathematics)

Wave equation

The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves and seismic waves) or electromagnetic waves (including light waves).

See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Wave equation

Weak solution

In mathematics, a weak solution (also called a generalized solution) to an ordinary or partial differential equation is a function for which the derivatives may not all exist but which is nonetheless deemed to satisfy the equation in some precisely defined sense.
