Abstract
Solving a partial differential equation is not an easy task. We explain here the weak formulation method which allows to obtain existence and uniqueness of a solution “in a certain sense” which coincides necessarily with the solution in the usual sense if it exists. First let us explain briefly in which context second-order elliptic partial differential equations do arise.
