well-posed problem and ill-posed problem

well-posed problem must have the property that

1. A solution exists
2. The solution is unique
3. The solution's behavior changes continuously with the initial conditions

简单来说就是有唯一解，并且是连续变化的。

Examples of archetypal well-posed problems include the Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation, and the heat equation with specified initial conditions.

Problems that are not well-posed in the sense of Hadamard are termed ill-posed. Inverse problems are often ill-posed.

If the problem is well-posed, then it stands a good chance of solution on a computer using a stable algorithm. If it is not well-posed, it needs to be re-formulated for numerical treatment
