solution of differential equation
1Differential equation — Not to be confused with Difference equation. Visualization of heat transfer in a pump casing, created by solving the heat equation. Heat is being generated internally in the casing and being cooled at the boundary, providing a steady state… …
2differential equation — Math. an equation involving differentials or derivatives. [1755 65] * * * Mathematical statement that contains one or more derivatives. It states a relationship involving the rates of change of continuously changing quantities modeled by… …
3differential equation — equation that expresses the connection between a variable and its derivative and whose solution is a function (Mathematics) …
4Parabolic partial differential equation — A parabolic partial differential equation is a type of second order partial differential equation, describing a wide family of problems in science including heat diffusion and stock option pricing. These problems, also known as evolution problems …
5Separable partial differential equation — A separable partial differential equation (PDE) is one that can be broken into a set of separate equations of lower dimensionality (fewer independent variables) by a method of separation of variables. This generally relies upon the problem having …
6History of numerical solution of differential equations using computers — Differential equations rose in prominence during World War II in calculating the accurate trajectory of ballistics, both rocket propelled and gun or cannon type projectiles. Originally, mathematicians used the more simple calculus of earlier… …
7Partial differential equation — A visualisation of a solution to the heat equation on a two dimensional plane In mathematics, partial differential equations (PDE) are a type of differential equation, i.e., a relation involving an unknown function (or functions) of several… …
8Ordinary differential equation — In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (or ODE) is a relation that contains functions of only one independent variable, and one or more of their derivatives with respect to that variable. A simple example is Newton s second law of… …
9Linear differential equation — In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation of the form: Ly = f ,where the differential operator L is a linear operator, y is the unknown function, and the right hand side fnof; is a given function (called the source …
10Stochastic differential equation — A stochastic differential equation (SDE) is a differential equation in which one or more of the terms is a stochastic process, thus resulting in a solution which is itself a stochastic process. SDE are used to model diverse phenomena such as… …
