The second-order ordinary differential equation y^('')+g(y)y^('2)+f(x)y^'=0 (1) is called Liouville's equation (Goldstein and Braun 1973; Zwillinger 1997, p. 124), as are the ...

"Chaos" is a tricky thing to define. In fact, it is much easier to list properties that a system described as "chaotic" has rather than to give a precise definition of chaos. ...

Set covering deployment (sometimes written "set-covering deployment" and abbreviated SCDP for "set covering deployment problem") seeks an optimal stationing of troops in a ...

Consider the recurrence equation defined by a_0=m and a_n=|_sqrt(2a_(n-1)(a_(n-1)+1))_|, (1) where |_x_| is the floor function. Graham and Pollak actually defined a_1=m, but ...

The system of partial differential equations u_t = b·v_x (1) b_(xt) = u_(xx)b+axv_x-2vx(vxb). (2)

The partial differential equation (1-u_t^2)u_(xx)+2u_xu_tu_(xt)-(1+u_x^2)u_(tt)=0.

An extension of the secant method of root finding to higher dimensions.

The partial differential equation u_t=del ·[M(u)del ((partialf)/(partialu)-Kdel ^2u)].

The system of partial differential equations u_t+u_x = v^2-u^2 (1) v_t-v_x = u^2-v^2. (2)

The partial differential equation R[u](u_(rr)+(u_r)/r+u_(zz))=u_r^2+u_z^2, where R[u] is the real part of u (Calogero and Degasperis 1982, p. 62; Zwillinger 1997, p. 131).
