  2. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    Initial value problem. In multivariable calculus, an initial value problem [a] ( IVP) is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem.

  3. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    It is the most basic explicit method for numerical integration of ordinary differential equations and is the simplest Runge–Kutta method. The Euler method is named after Leonhard Euler, who first proposed it in his book Institutionum calculi integralis (published 1768–1770). [1]

  4. Green's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_function

    the solution of the initial-value problem = is the convolution (). Through the superposition principle , given a linear ordinary differential equation (ODE), L y = f {\displaystyle Ly=f} , one can first solve L G = δ s {\displaystyle LG=\delta _{s}} , for each s , and realizing that, since the source is a sum of delta functions , the solution ...

  5. Sturm–Liouville theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturm–Liouville_theory

    Sturm–Liouville theory. In mathematics and its applications, a Sturm–Liouville problem is a second-order linear ordinary differential equation of the form: for given functions , and , together with some boundary conditions at extreme values of . The goals of a given Sturm–Liouville problem are: To find the λ for which there exists a non ...

  6. Linear multistep method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  7. Stiff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff_equation

    Stiff equation. In mathematics, a stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain numerical methods for solving the equation are numerically unstable, unless the step size is taken to be extremely small. It has proven difficult to formulate a precise definition of stiffness, but the main idea is that the equation includes some terms ...

  8. Picard–Lindelöf theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picard–Lindelöf_theorem

    In mathematics, specifically the study of differential equations, the Picard–Lindelöf theorem gives a set of conditions under which an initial value problem has a unique solution. It is also known as Picard's existence theorem, the Cauchy–Lipschitz theorem, or the existence and uniqueness theorem . The theorem is named after Émile Picard ...

  9. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    For any value between 2856 seconds and 20741 seconds the Lambert's problem can be solved using an y-value between −20000 km and 50000 km. Assume the following values for an Earth centered Kepler orbit r 1 = 10000 km; r 2 = 16000 km; α = 100° These are the numerical values that correspond to figures 1, 2, and 3.
