Lecture Notes: The Galerkin Method

Analysis of PDEs 2011-12-07 v1 Functional Analysis Numerical Analysis

Abstract

These lecture notes introduce the Galerkin method to approximate solutions to partial differential and integral equations. We begin with some analysis background to introduce this method in a Hilbert Space setting, and subsequently illustrate some computational examples with the help of a sample matlab code. Finally, we use the Galerkin method to prove the existence of solutions of a nonlinear boundary value problem.
