Weak formulation
Weak formulations have been an important means in the analysis of mathematical equations, since they permit the transfer of concepts of linear algebra to fields like partial differential equations. The main feature of weak formulations is that an equation is not required to hold absolutely any more (and this is not even well defined), but only with respect to certain test vectors or test functions.
