  2. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    The higher order partial derivatives can be obtained by successive differentiation Antiderivative analogue. There is a concept for partial derivatives that is analogous to antiderivatives for regular derivatives. Given a partial derivative, it allows for the partial recovery of the original function. Consider the example of

  3. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    e. In mathematics, a partial differential equation ( PDE) is an equation which computes a function between various partial derivatives of a multivariable function . The function is often thought of as an "unknown" to be solved for, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number to be solved for in an algebraic equation like x2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  4. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_second_derivatives

    Symmetry of second derivatives. In mathematics, the symmetry of second derivatives (also called the equality of mixed partials) refers to the possibility of interchanging the order of taking partial derivatives of a function. of variables without changing the result under certain conditions (see below). The symmetry is the assertion that the ...

    The linear map h → J(x) ⋅ h is known as the derivative or the differential of f at x . When m = n, the Jacobian matrix is square, so its determinant is a well-defined function of x, known as the Jacobian determinant of f. It carries important information about the local behavior of f.

  6. Parabolic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    A system of partial differential equations for a vector can also be parabolic. For example, such a system is hidden in an equation of the form. if the matrix-valued function has a kernel of dimension 1. Parabolic PDEs can also be nonlinear. For example, Fisher's equation is a nonlinear PDE that includes the same diffusion term as the heat ...

  8. Integration by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_parts

    In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a product of functions in terms of the integral of the product of their derivative and antiderivative. It is frequently used to transform the antiderivative of a product of functions into an ...

    In mathematics, a first-order partial differential equation is a partial differential equation that involves only first derivatives of the unknown function of n variables. The equation takes the form. Such equations arise in the construction of characteristic surfaces for hyperbolic partial differential equations, in the calculus of variations ...
