The Robin boundary condition relates to heat flow problem in a body with a
constant temperature in the surrounding medium. From Newton's law of
cooling, a boundary condition can be obtained which requires that the
normal derivative of the steady-state
temperature inside the body at a point of the bounding surface + a contant
times the temperature = constant; i.e., D_nu + au = b at points of the
boundary.
