A delay differential equation (also called a differential delay equation or difference-differential equation, although the latter term has a different meaning in the modern ...

A difference-differential equation is a two-variable equation consisting of a coupled ordinary differential equation and recurrence equation. In older literature, the term ...

Differential algebra is a field of mathematics that attempts to use methods from abstract algebra to study solutions of systems of polynomial nonlinear ordinary and partial ...

(1) or (2) The solutions are Jacobi polynomials P_n^((alpha,beta))(x) or, in terms of hypergeometric functions, as y(x)=C_1_2F_1(-n,n+1+alpha+beta,1+alpha,1/2(x-1)) ...

The ordinary Onsager equation is the sixth-order ordinary differential equation (d^3)/(dx^3)[e^x(d^2)/(dx^2)(e^x(dy)/(dx))]=f(x) (Vicelli 1983; Zwillinger 1997, p. 128), ...

A set of real numbers x_1, ..., x_n is said to possess an integer relation if there exist integers a_i such that a_1x_1+a_2x_2+...+a_nx_n=0, with not all a_i=0. For ...

The Abel equation of the first kind is given by y^'=f_0(x)+f_1(x)y+f_2(x)y^2+f_3(x)y^3+... (Murphy 1960, p. 23; Zwillinger 1997, p. 120), and the Abel equation of the second ...

A generalization of the Bulirsch-Stoer algorithm for solving ordinary differential equations.

For a measurable function mu, the Beltrami differential equation is given by f_(z^_)=muf_z, where f_z is a partial derivative and z^_ denotes the complex conjugate of z.

The ordinary differential equation (y^')^m=f(x,y) (Hille 1969, p. 675; Zwillinger 1997, p. 120).
