Vladimir, The PDE-solving capabilities of NDSolve leave much to be desired (to say the least). My guess is that your only hope is to formulate your problem on a single region with piecewise-defined parameters in such a way that the interface conditions are naturally satisfied. Even if that's possible, you'll likely get better results --- and avoid a lot of headaches -- if you write your own solver. ----- Selwyn Hollis http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis On Saturday, June 21, 2003, at 02:49 AM, Vladimir Petrov wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to know how to solve numerically a partial > differential equation (the heat equation) in a medium > consisting of two subregions characterized by different > physical parameters.
