v8 v9 5 5 Elliptic equations can be thought of as being the steady state limit of the diffusion equation, 6 6 7 [[latex($u_t = (\kappa u_x)_x + (\kappa u_y)_y + f$)]]7 [[latex($u_t = (\kappa u_x)_x + (\kappa u_y)_y + \psi$)]] 8 8 9 when both the boundary conditions and the source (or "forcing") term are time in-dependent. Under these conditions, it can be expected that the time dependent terms vanish as the system relaxes to steady state (i n the limit [[latex($t \rightarrow \infty, \partial t \rightarrow 0$)]]), and we are led to the elliptic equation (here in 2D),9 when both the boundary conditions and the source (or "forcing") term are time in-dependent. Under these conditions, it can be expected that the time dependent terms vanish as the system relaxes to steady state (i.e. in the limit [[latex($t \rightarrow \infty, \partial t \rightarrow 0$)]]), and we are led to the elliptic equation (here in 2D), 10 10 11 11 [[latex($(\kappa u_x)_x + (\kappa u_y)_y = f $)]]
