A General Method for Solving Equations - The Dynamical Functional Particle Method A General Method for Solving Equations - The Dynamical Functional Particle Method

Given any equation L(u)=0, e.g. a partial differential equation, it can be considered to be the stationary solution of a time dependent equation (in fact, time need only to be fictitious time not real time). Our approach is to choose the...
