  2. Poincaré–Lindstedt method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré–Lindstedt_method

    This method can be continued indefinitely in the same way, where the order-n term consists of a harmonic term ⁡ + ⁡ (), plus some super-harmonic terms , ⁡ +, ⁡ +. The coefficients of the super-harmonic terms are solved directly, and the coefficients of the harmonic term are determined by expanding down to order-(n+1), and eliminating ...

  3. Differential signalling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_signalling

    Differential signalling is a method for electrically transmitting information using two complementary signals. The technique sends the same electrical signal as a differential pair of signals, each in its own conductor. The pair of conductors can be wires in a twisted-pair or ribbon cable or traces on a printed circuit board.

  4. Disengagement theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disengagement_theory

    The disengagement theory states that older adults withdraw from personal relationships and society as they age. The disengagement theory of ageing states that "aging is an inevitable, mutual withdrawal or disengagement, resulting in decreased interaction between the aging person and others in the social system he belongs to".

  5. Painlevé transcendents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painlevé_transcendents

    Painlevé transcendents have their origin in the study of special functions, which often arise as solutions of differential equations, as well as in the study of isomonodromic deformations of linear differential equations. One of the most useful classes of special functions are the elliptic functions.

  6. Locking differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_differential

    ARB air-locking differential fitted to a Mitsubishi Delica L400 LWB Diff. A locking differential is a mechanical component, commonly used in vehicles, designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially "locking" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in ...

  7. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Their use is also known as "numerical integration", although this term can also refer to the computation of integrals. Many differential equations cannot be solved exactly.

  8. 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 (+) + (() +).

  9. Method of characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_characteristics

    In mathematics, the method of characteristics is a technique for solving partial differential equations. Typically, it applies to first-order equations , though in general characteristic curves can also be found for hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equation .
