  2. Bass diffusion model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_diffusion_model

    The Bass model or Bass diffusion model was developed by Frank Bass. It consists of a simple differential equation that describes the process of how new products get adopted in a population. The model presents a rationale of how current adopters and potential adopters of a new product interact. The basic premise of the model is that adopters can ...

  3. Water integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_integrator

    The Water Integrator ( Russian: Гидравлический интегратор Gidravlicheskiy integrator) was an early analog computer built in the Soviet Union in 1936 by Vladimir Sergeevich Lukyanov. [1] [2] [3] It functioned by careful manipulation of water through a room full of interconnected pipes and pumps. The water level in various ...

  4. Duhamel's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhamel's_principle

    In mathematics, and more specifically in partial differential equations, Duhamel's principle is a general method for obtaining solutions to inhomogeneous linear evolution equations like the heat equation, wave equation, and vibrating plate equation. It is named after Jean-Marie Duhamel who first applied the principle to the inhomogeneous heat ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairaut's_equation

    t. e. In mathematical analysis, Clairaut's equation (or the Clairaut equation) is a differential equation of the form. where is continuously differentiable. It is a particular case of the Lagrange differential equation. It is named after the French mathematician Alexis Clairaut, who introduced it in 1734. [1]

  6. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    Collocation method. In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations. The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain ...

  7. Integrating factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_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 when multiplying through by an integrating factor allows an inexact differential to be made into an exact differential (which can then be integrated ...

  8. Bessel function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel_function

    Bessel function. Bessel functions describe the radial part of vibrations of a circular membrane. Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and then generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions y(x) of Bessel's differential equation.

  9. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The equation is a nonlinear integro-differential equation, and the unknown function in the equation is a probability density function in six-dimensional space of a particle position and momentum. The problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions is still not fully resolved, but some recent results are quite promising.
