Definition

A linear boundary condition that prescribes a linear combination of the solution value and its normal derivative on the boundary, typically a·u + b·∂u/∂n = g on ∂Ω (also called impedance or mixed boundary condition in some contexts).

Definition

A linear mixed boundary condition that specifies a linear relation between a field and its normal derivative on the boundary: α u + β n·∇u = γ on ∂Ω, with coefficients α, β, γ (which may be functions on ∂Ω). It interpolates between Dirichlet (β=0) and Neumann (α=0) prescriptions and models exchange proportional to the field and its flux at the surface.
