  • Laplace's Equation Applications
    In this video, I give some very neat applications of Laplace's equation. In particular, I explain why harmonic functions are called harmonic, and I give a really cool probability application. Enjoy!

    There is a cool application of the Laplace Equation in physics again for finding an analytical solution for the motion of a vibrating cylinder following stokes law's, using Laplace transforms and viscosity measurements. Usually used to derive analytical solutions for the moment of elastic cylinders in Newtonian Fluid. I hope you're dealing well in lockdown, not going too crazy I hope ;)

      Can we appreciate the fact that this guy legit wrote a legitimate comment rather than writing 'first!' .

    solutions to Laplace\Poisson equation also tell you the electric fields produced by various charge distributions! (actually the electric potentials but the E field can be derived from that) probably the first PDE physics students come across :)

    You can use the diffusion equation to model concentration of a substance in a fluid; Stokes flow; finding the electric potential for a given charge density to name a few

    How would you model amplitude and pitch changes? I used a decay function to model crescendos and descends. But the attack is harder to fit. (Staccato articulations are impulses with non zero epsilons). How would you define the shape of a melodic line and use it to predict future lines?

    Hello,
    I've got a question I hope someone will be able to answer:
    In electrodynamics, and especially when talking about guided waves, there's a sentence stating that TEM waves can not exist in a simply connected domain. Whether you're familiar or not with electrodynamics is not important.
    The proof given to me goes as follows:
    With some manipulations of Maxwell equations, assuming an harmonic regime and a TEM mode, one can find the following equation (u corresponds to the electric potential):
    laplacian of u(x,y) = 0.
    With boundaries conditions that u must be constant on the boundary.
    Therefore, a sufficient condition to prove the non-existence of TEM modes would be that u is constant on the whole domain, as, therefore, the electric and magnetic fields would lead to a trivial solution of Maxwell equations.
    Does anyone know why u must be constant?
    The explanation given to me was that, if a non-constant solution existed, there should be an extremum inside the domain, and one can therefore find (with the Hessian matrix and the laplace equation) that second partial derivatives u_xx and u_yy must be at the same time equal and opposite in sign. This yields to a contradiction if one can prove that the Hessian matrix must be positive-defined.
    I don't know how to prove it, as a necessary condition for extremum is that the Hessian matrix is semi-positive defined

      It’s by the maximum principle: The max and min of u must be attained on the boundary, so if u is constant on the boundary, then u is constant everywhere. This doesn’t imply that u is 0. In fact u = C is a solution to your problem

      @@drpeyam Oh, and you did a video on the maximum principle that I haven't seen yet!
      Thank you, Dr Peyam.

    Nitpicking: maybe next time you could use a different letter for the function and for the domain?
    That was a little distracting.
    Other than that, very nice video!

      Anything other than \Omega for the domain is wrong
