NDSolvePDE

Posted 10 years ago
Hi,

Can someone explain to me NDSolvePDE.
At this link, there is an example to solve pde by using MOL.  I don'n understant what  this part

https://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/NDSolvePDE.html
ListCorrelate[{1, -2, 1}/Subscript[h, n]^2,
      U[t], {1, 2}, {Subscript[u, n - 1][t]}]

What is the meaning of 1,-2,1  and 1,2 in U

I get {1, -2, 1} this part, they are just coeff. of finite difference..

How can modify the code on that link to solve u_t=u_xx+u_x

Any help will appreciate it..

This code is setting up finite differences that are being used. For more information on ListCorrelate, please see the documentation for the function: http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/ListCorrelate.html

{
1,-2,1} represents the coefficients in the finite difference formula. 
See the documentation for what the third argument does in ListCorrelate. It changes how correlation is aligned.

I am sorry I forgot to add the link, I edited my question..

I'm sorry. I don't understand the question. 

What is NDSolvePDE? What is the documentation you are referencing?
