The equation x^p=1, where solutions zeta_k=e^(2piik/p) are the roots of unity sometimes called de Moivre numbers. Gauss showed that the cyclotomic equation can be reduced to ...

An equation of the form f(x,y,...)=0, where f contains a finite number of independent variables, known functions, and unknown functions which are to be solved for. Many ...

Nonhomogeneous matrix equations of the form Ax=b (1) can be solved by taking the matrix inverse to obtain x=A^(-1)b. (2) This equation will have a nontrivial solution iff the ...

A second-order ordinary differential equation of the form

The partial differential equation partial/(partialx)(u_t+uu_x+1/2u_(xxx)+u/(2t))+(3alpha^2)/(2t^2)u_(yy)=0 which arises in the study of water waves.

If a real algebraic curve has no singularities except nodes and cusps, bitangents, and inflection points, then n+2tau_2^'+iota^'=m+2delta_2^'+kappa^', where n is the order, ...

The functional equation phi(f(x))=sphi(x), with s!=0,1.

The partial differential equation u_(xx)=au_(tt)+bu_t+cu.

The partial differential equation u_t+u_x+uu_x-u_(xxt)=0 (Benjamin et al. 1972; Arvin and Goldstein 1985; Zwillinger 1997, p. 130). A generalized version is given by u_t-del ...

The second-order ordinary differential equation x^2(d^2y)/(dx^2)+x(dy)/(dx)-(x^2+n^2)y=0. (1) The solutions are the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds, ...
