Introduction to numerical methods for nonlinear partial differential equations
In this course, I will briefly introduce some numerical methods and corresponding numerical analysis to a few nonlinear PDEs, including the Allen–Cahn/Cahn-Hilliard equation, harmonic maps, nonlinear elasticity problems, Hamilton Jacobi equation, Navier Stokes equation and more topics.
