ui
The solution variable (dependent variable)
uixj
The derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to the spatial coordinate xj, for example, uy
uiTxj
The xj component of the gradient of ui projected onto a boundary or edge, for example, uTy
uixjxk
The second derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to the spatial coordinates xj and xk, for example, uxx, uxy
uit
The derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time as seen from the frame chosen under Discretization
uitt
The second derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time as seen from the frame chosen under Discretization
 
uixjt
The mixed derivative of the solution variable ui with respect to time and the spatial coordinate xj as seen from the frame chosen under Discretization
