Mathieu function. In mathematics, Mathieu functions, sometimes called angular Mathieu functions, are solutions of Mathieu's differential equation. where a, q are real -valued parameters. Since we may add π/2 to x to change the sign of q, it is a usual convention to set q ≥ 0.
Mathieu wavelet. The Mathieu equation is a linear second-order differential equation with periodic coefficients. The French mathematician, E. Léonard Mathieu, first introduced this family of differential equations, nowadays termed Mathieu equations, in his “Memoir on vibrations of an elliptic membrane” in 1868.
Poincaré–Lindstedt method. In perturbation theory, the Poincaré–Lindstedt method or Lindstedt–Poincaré method is a technique for uniformly approximating periodic solutions to ordinary differential equations, when regular perturbation approaches fail. The method removes secular terms —terms growing without bound—arising in the ...
The same illustration for The midpoint method converges faster than the Euler method, as . 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 ...
In mathematics, the Hill equation or Hill differential equation is the second-order linear ordinary differential equation. where is a periodic function with minimal period and average zero. By these we mean that for all. and. and if is a number with , the equation must fail for some . [1] It is named after George William Hill, who introduced it ...
Linear multistep method. Linear multistep methods are used for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. Conceptually, a numerical method starts from an initial point and then takes a short step forward in time to find the next solution point. The process continues with subsequent steps to map out the solution.
Differential equations. In mathematics, a differential-algebraic system of equations (DAE) is a system of equations that either contains differential equations and algebraic equations, or is equivalent to such a system. The set of the solutions of such a system is a differential algebraic variety, and corresponds to an ideal in a differential ...
Differential equations. In mathematics, the power series method is used to seek a power series solution to certain differential equations. In general, such a solution assumes a power series with unknown coefficients, then substitutes that solution into the differential equation to find a recurrence relation for the coefficients.
