This MATLAB program implements the finite difference method for solving elliptic partial differential equations. Specifically, it employs central difference schemes to discretize Poisson's equation on rectangular computational domains. The implementation handles boundary conditions through matrix formulation and typically uses iterative methods like Gauss-Seidel or conjugate gradient for solving the resulting linear system. This code demonstrates practical applications including heat conduction analysis, electrostatic potential distribution, and fluid dynamics problems. Through this implementation, users can gain deeper understanding of finite difference methodology and extend the framework to solve related PDE problems with appropriate boundary condition modifications and discretization schemes.
