    15 The solution to this equation needs to simultaneously 1) satisfy this equation at all points within a bounding region and 2) satisfy the boundary conditions on that region. This then can be interpreted as an instantaneous system, much different than the wave-like solutions of hyperbolic equations which travel with finite speed.

    1717Some special cases for elliptic equations occur when [[latex($\kappa = 1$)]]; when f is non-zero, we have the Poisson equation,
