2. Parabolic

Davies: The FEM: A first approach, Clarendon,Oxford

Use of Galerkin for time-dependent (and non-linear) problems 6.3 pp. 214 - One of two ways:
  1. space-time triangulation
  2. Space triangulation => system of ODE's.
See examples 6.4 and 6.5

PDEtool: 4-11 - 4-12

The latter way is used. System of ode's is solved using Matlab's ODE solvers. parabolic 5-43 - 5-44

[EEHJ] CH 16

The former (space-time triangulation) is used.
