# Common PDE Problems

This chapter describes the solution of some common PDE problems of various types. The problems are solved using both the graphical user interface and the command-line functions of the PDE Toolbox.

Elliptic Problems | Elliptic problems including Poisson's equation, a scattering problem, a minimal surface problem, and a domain decomposition.
Parabolic Problems | Parabolic problems including the heat equation and heat distribution in a radioactive rod.
Hyperbolic Problem | Example of the wave equation.
Eigenvalue Problems | Eigenvalue problems including eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the L-shaped membrane, the L-shaped membrane with rounded corners, and a square.
Application Modes | Descriptions of the GUI's application modes, including scalar, system plane stress and strain structural mechanics, electrostatics, magnetostatics, AC power electromagnetics, conductive media DC, heat transfer, and diffusion.
References | References for further information.
