  2. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    where is a function : [,), and the initial condition is a given vector. First-order means that only the first derivative of y appears in the equation, and higher derivatives are absent. Without loss of generality to higher-order systems, we restrict ourselves to first-order differential equations, because a higher-order ODE can be converted ...

  3. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    Some ODEs can be solved explicitly in terms of known functions and integrals. When that is not possible, the equation for computing the Taylor series of the solutions may be useful. For applied problems, numerical methods for ordinary differential equations can supply an approximation of the solution.

  4. Differential-algebraic system of equations - Wikipedia

    They are distinct from ordinary differential equation (ODE) in that a DAE is not completely solvable for the derivatives of all components of the function x because these may not all appear (i.e. some equations are algebraic); technically the distinction between an implicit ODE system [that may be rendered explicit] and a DAE system is that the ...

    The HAM is an analytic approximation method designed for the computer era with the goal of "computing with functions instead of numbers." In conjunction with a computer algebra system such as Mathematica or Maple, one can gain analytic approximations of a highly nonlinear problem to arbitrarily high order by means of the HAM in only a few seconds.

  6. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

    In the limit circle case, Φ 0 determines a boundary condition at 0: (,) = For complex λ, let Φ λ and Χ λ satisfy (D – λ)Φ λ = 0, (D – λ)Χ λ = 0; Χ λ square integrable near infinity; Φ λ square integrable at 0 if 0 is limit point; Φ λ satisfies the boundary condition above if 0 is limit circle.

  8. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    This differs from the (standard, or forward) Euler method in that the function is evaluated at the end point of the step, instead of the starting point. The backward Euler method is an implicit method , meaning that the formula for the backward Euler method has y n + 1 {\displaystyle y_{n+1}} on both sides, so when applying the backward Euler ...

    Compute the Fourier transform (b j,k) of g.Compute the Fourier transform (a j,k) of f via the formula ().Compute f by taking an inverse Fourier transform of (a j,k).; Since we're only interested in a finite window of frequencies (of size n, say) this can be done using a fast Fourier transform algorithm.
