Graduate Does g'Bg Compare with g'g When B is a Positive Definite Matrix?
I think it depends on the eigenvalues of B if the eigenvalues of B is larger than 1, the statement holds. Otherwise, it does not.- jvc

High School What is u in the Wave Equation u(x,t)?
Actually, u is complex amplitude of the wave, which denotes the amplitude of given spatial point and time. So u represents the wave field distribution in space.- jvc

Graduate Galerkin method for wave equation
Thank you for your reply! I indeed want to solve it in the weak form. Actually, my problem is to solve wave equation (homogenuous equation) with non-homogenuous boundary conditions, maybe it is Dirichlet problem. Of course, it can be switched to non-homogeneous equation with homogenuous...- jvc

Graduate Galerkin method for wave equation
Hello, I want to use Galerkin method to solve 3-D wave equation \nabla^2 u+k^2 u=0, with the following boundary conditions: at z=z_1 plane, u=g, and when x,y,z go to the infinity, u becomes 0. My question is how to choose the basis function \phi_n for u: u=\sum \lambda_n \phi_n. As my...- jvc
