  • Review of Weighted Residual and Variational Methods: Strong Form (Pde + BCS) : Galerkin'S Method

    The document discusses Galerkin's method and the weak form of partial differential equations (PDEs). It explains that using integration by parts and the divergence theorem, the strong form of a PDE can be written as an equivalent weak form that must hold for all admissible test functions. This weak form can then be solved using weighted residual methods like the Ritz method or Galerkin's method, which involve approximating the solution space with interpolation functions and minimizing an objective function over the coefficients. The key takeaway is that the strong and weak forms of a PDE are equivalent, so the solution can be found by minimizing the total potential energy instead of directly solving the PDE system.

    Galerkins method:
    Integration by parts (use of the divergence theorem) yields the weak form:
    If we ensure this holds for all admissible W(x), then strong and weak form are equivalent.
    If a potential exists, we can find the solution alternatively via minimization:

    Note: weight functions W(x) and variations u(x) must be admissible, i.e. that (they and

    We must construct approximate spaces for the solution as well as for the weights

    Most important takehome message:
    strong form and weak form are equivalent (when constructed correctly).
    Therefore, we can find an approximate solution without solving the PDE/ODE system
    directly by minimizing the total potential energy:
    The resulting weak form is
