The wave equation is the important partial differential equation del ^2psi=1/(v^2)(partial^2psi)/(partialt^2) (1) that describes propagation of waves with speed v. The form ...

A partial differential equation which appears in differential geometry and relativistic field theory. Its name is a wordplay on its similar form to the Klein-Gordon equation. ...

The Diophantine equation x^2+k=y^3, which is also an elliptic curve. The general equation is still the focus of ongoing study.

An equation of the form P(x)=0, where P(x) is a polynomial.

The term "biquadratic equation" is sometimes used to as a synonym for quartic equation (Beyer 1987b, p. 34), but perhaps more commonly (e.g., Hazewinkel 1988; Gellert et al. ...

A second-order partial differential equation arising in physics, del ^2psi=-4pirho. If rho=0, it reduces to Laplace's equation. It is also related to the Helmholtz ...

The partial differential equation w_t-6(w+epsilon^2w^2)w_x+w_(xxx)=0, which can also be rewritten (w)_t+(-3w^2-2epsilon^2w^3+w_(xx))_x=0.

An natural equation which expresses a curve in terms of its arc length s and tangential angle phi.

The Benney equation in 1+1 dimensions is the nonlinear partial differential equation ...

The linear Boussinesq equation is the partial differential equation u_(tt)-alpha^2u_(xx)=beta^2u_(xxtt) (1) (Whitham 1974, p. 9; Zwillinger 1997, p. 129). The nonlinear ...
