parabolic differential equation [¦par·ə¦bäl·ik ‚dif·ə′ren·chəl i′kwā·zhən]
(mathematics) A general type of second-order partial differential equation which includes the heat equation and has the formwhere theAij,Bi,C, andFare suitably differentiable real functions ofx1,x2, …,xn, and there exists at each point (x1, …,xn) a real linear transformation on thexiwhich reduces the quadratic formto a sum of fewer thannsquares, not necessarily all of the same sign, while the same transformation does not reduce theBito 0. Also known as parabolic partial differential equation. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
