In mathematics, a mixed boundary condition for a partial differential equation defines a boundary value problem in which the solution of the given equation is required to satisfy different boundary conditions on disjoint parts of the boundary of the domain where the condition is stated. Precisely, in a mixed boundary value problem, the solution is required to satisfy a Dirichlet or a Neumann boundary condition in a mutually exclusive way on disjoint parts of the boundary. For example, given a solution to a partial differential equation on a domain with boundary , it is said to satisfy a mixed boundary condition if, consisting of two disjoint parts, and , such that , verifies the following equations: :and where and are given functions defined on those portions of the boundary.〔Obviously, it is not at all necessary to require and being functions: they can be distributions or any other kind of generalized functions.〕 The mixed boundary condition differs from the Robin boundary condition in that the latter requires a linear combination, possibly with pointwise variable coefficients, of the Dirichlet and the Neumann boundary value conditions to be satisfied on the whole boundary of a given domain. ==Historical note== The first boundary value problem satisfying a mixed boundary condition was solved by Stanisław Zaremba for the Laplace equation: according to himself, it was Wilhelm Wirtinger who suggested him to study of this problem.〔See .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mixed boundary condition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
