为什么 空间二阶导(拉普拉斯算子)这么重要? - 知乎
一旦你搞清楚了拉普拉斯算子(Laplacian)的物理意义你就知道为什么它那么常见、那么重要了。 一般你看到的拉普拉斯算子长这样: ∇ → 2
multivariable calculus - Intuitive interpretation of the Laplacian ...
Sep 15, 2021 · I'd suggest including the word (laplacian operator or laplace operator, in fact both). Currently the title is hard to search because of the different names people give this …
linear algebra - Understanding the properties and use of the …
The Laplacian is a discrete analogue of the Laplacian $\sum \frac {\partial^2 f} {\partial x_i^2}$ in multivariable calculus, and it serves a similar purpose: it measures to what extent a function …

calculus - Laplacian derivation cylindrical coordinates
I want to derive the laplacian for cylindrical polar coordinates, directly, not using the explicit formula for the laplacian for curvilinear coordinates. Now, the laplacian is defined as $\\Delta = \\
Laplacian of a radial function - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Dec 3, 2014 · Proving this properly requires more or less as much calculations as computing directly the laplacian. But this properties can be easily seen when picturing a radial function.
