integrating factor (of an equation)
1Integrating factor — In mathematics, an integrating factor is a function that is chosen to facilitate the solving of a given equation involving differentials. It is commonly used to solve ordinary differential equations, but is also used within multivariable calculus …
2integrating factor — noun : a factor that renders immediately integrable a differential equation multiplied by it * * * Math. a factor that upon multiplying a differential equation with the right hand side equal to zero makes the equation integrable, usually by… …
3integrating factor — Math. a factor that upon multiplying a differential equation with the right hand side equal to zero makes the equation integrable, usually by making the resulting expression an exact differential of some function. [1855 60] * * * …
4Integrating ADC — An integrating ADC is a type of analog to digital converter that converts an unknown input voltage into a digital representation through the use of an integrator. In its most basic implementation, the unknown input voltage is applied to the input …
5Linear 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 …
6Bernoulli differential equation — This topic in mathematics is named after Jakob Bernoulli. See Bernoulli s principle for an unrelated topic in fluid dynamics, named after the inventor Daniel Bernoulli. In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation of the form :y + P(x)y =… …
7exact equation — type of differential equation that can be solved directly without the use of any of the special techniques in the subject. A first order differential equation (of one variable) is called exact, or an exact differential, if it is the result… …
8Differential 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… …
9adjoint differential equation — Math. a differential equation obtained from a given differential equation and having the property that any solution of one equation is an integrating factor of the other. * * * …
