partial differential equation In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to ho ...

Selected publications

Dauge is the author of ''Elliptic boundary value problems on corner domains: Smoothness and asymptotics of solutions'' (Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1341, Springer, 1988). She is the coauthor of ''Spectral methods for axisymmetric domains: Numerical algorithms and tests'' (with Christine Bernardi and Yvon Maday, with contributions from Mejdi Azaïez, Gauthier-Villars, 1999). Her many research publications include the highly cited paper "Vector potentials in three‐dimensional non‐smooth domains" (with Chérif Amrouche, Christine Bernardi, and Vivette Girault, ''Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences'', 1998).
