Line 35:
Of course, here L is the differential operator given by:
 
:<math>
:L''f''=''f''<sub>''xx''</sub>+''f''<sub>''yy''</sub>
\mathrm{L}f=f_{xx}+f_{yy}
</math>
 
L is known as the Laplace operator. We are now looking for a ''u'' in V so that L''u''=''g''.
Line 75 ⟶ 77:
for all ''v'' in V. From now on, we will use &int;<sub>T</sub> for the double integral &int;<sub>0</sub><sup>1</sup>&int;<sub>0</sub><sup>1</sup>. One can see, via [[integration by parts]], and noting that because of the periodic boundary condition the first right hand side ''fg'' term
 
:<math>
\int_0^1 \left[ v_x u_x \right]_0^1 dy +\int_0^1 \left[ v_y u_y \right]_0^1 dx
</math>
Line 81 ⟶ 83:
vanishes, that
 
:<math>
\int_0^1 \int_0^1 v\left(u_{xx}+u_{yy}\right)dxdy = -\int_0^1\int_0^1 \left(v_x u_x + v_y u_y \right) dxdy.
</math>
 
Thus we find that the lastearlier equality is equivalent to:
 
:&psi;(''u'',''v''):=-&int;<sub>T</sub>(''u<sub>x</sub>v<sub>x</sub>''+''u<sub>y</sub>v<sub>y</sub>'') = &int;<sub>T</sub>''g&middot;v'' = &phi;<sub>''v''</sub>(''g'')
