  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. Boundary value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_value_problem

    Explanation. Boundary value problems are similar to initial value problems.A boundary value problem has conditions specified at the extremes ("boundaries") of the independent variable in the equation whereas an initial value problem has all of the conditions specified at the same value of the independent variable (and that value is at the lower boundary of the domain, thus the term "initial ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_method

    The shooting method is the process of solving the initial value problem for many different values of until one finds the solution that satisfies the desired boundary conditions. Typically, one does so numerically. The solution (s) correspond to root (s) of. To systematically vary the shooting parameter and find the root, one can employ standard ...

  6. Direct multiple shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_multiple_shooting...

    Direct multiple shooting method. In the area of mathematics known as numerical ordinary differential equations, the direct multiple shooting method is a numerical method for the solution of boundary value problems. The method divides the interval over which a solution is sought into several smaller intervals, solves an initial value problem in ...

  7. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    The same illustration for The midpoint method converges faster than the Euler method, as . Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Their use is also known as "numerical integration", although this term can also refer to ...

  8. 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]

  9. Riemann problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_problem

    Riemann problem. A Riemann problem, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a specific initial value problem composed of a conservation equation together with piecewise constant initial data which has a single discontinuity in the domain of interest. The Riemann problem is very useful for the understanding of equations like Euler conservation ...
