Selwyn Hollis, Thank you again for your interest and critics [Messages 43294,43380,43381] concerning my notebook c37.I have to apologize for the missing of a more extensive description concerning the notebook.I have not been aware of the fact, that mathgroup users not yet having read the pages 216 -219 of my book (F. Cap, Mathematical Methods in Physics and Engineering with Mathematica, CRC Press, 2003, ISBN01584884029) would have difficulties to understand, that the notebook has the intention to demonstrate that variational methods are able to solve elliptic partial differential equations with inhomogeneous boundary values on two different closed boundary curves. Since you are a specialist in the field (sorry, I did not read your book on the same matters) I am glad to have discussion with you. I agreee that the very low order (3rd) solution by Wallnoefer, Ref [4.17], is very rough. To apologize for the missing explanations in the notebook, I send an improved version.I hope this answers all open questions? (* c37: Two boundaries for the Laplace equation see Fig.4.14 in the book \ Mathematical Methods in Physics and Engineering with Mathematica, CRC Press, ISBN 1584884029.There are two different closed boundary curves, a square of length a= 4 and a circle of radius 1. On both boundaries the boundary condition u[ boundary]= x^2+y2 is valid. The solution method is the RITZ variational method.It gives the \ very approximative solution f - only 3rd approximation*) Clear[f,P1,Q,CG,QG,QQG,A,U];(* f is formula (4.7.22)*)f[x_,y_]= x^2+y^2+(x^2+ y^2-1)*(x^2-4)*(y^2-4)*(0.0969+0.0521*(x+y)-0.0673*(x^2+y^2)-0.0474* x*y+0.0131*(x^3+y^3)+0.0186*(x^2*y+x*y^2)) P1=Plot3D[f[x,y],{x,-2.,2.},{y,-2.,2.},Shading\[Rule]False, ClipFill\[Rule]None, PlotRange\[Rule]{0.,8.}, PlotPoints\[Rule]100](*this gives Fig 4.14*) In[7]:= f[2.,2] In[10]:= Sqrt[0.5] In[11]:= f[0.707107,0.707107] In[4]:= g[x_,y_]=Simplify[D[f[x,y],{x,2}]+D[f[x,y],{y,2}]] In[6]:= Plot3D[Evaluate[g[x,y],{x,-2.,2.},{y,-2.,2.}, Shading\[Rule]False, (*ClipFill\[Rule]None,*) PlotRange\[Rule]{0.,8.}, PlotPoints\[Rule]100]] CG=Graphics[Circle[{0.,0.},1.],AspectRatio\[Rule]Automatic] Show[CG] Q=Line[{{-2.,-2.},{2.,-2.},{2.,2.},{-2.,2.},{-2.,-2.}}]; QG=Graphics[Q,AspectRatio->Automatic] Show[QG] QQG=Show[QG,CG] (* The RITZ trial function G[x, y], (4.7.22) and (4.7.23) does not satisfy the Laplace equation*) G[x_,y_]=x^2+ y^2+(x^2+y^2-1)*(x^2-4)*(y^2-4)*(co+c1*(x+y)+c2*(x^2+y^2)+c3*x*y+ c4*(x^3+y^3)+c5*(x^2*y+x*y^2)) FullSimplify[D[G[x,y],{x,2}]+D[G[x,y],{y,2}]]
