Differential geometry is the study of Riemannian manifolds. Differential geometry deals with metrical notions on manifolds, while differential topology deals with nonmetrical ...

The partial differential equation (1+u_y^2)u_(xx)-2u_xu_yu_(xy)+(1+u_x^2)u_(yy)=0 (correcting a typo in Zwillinger 1997, p. 134).

A differential ideal I on a manifold M is an ideal in the exterior algebra of differential k-forms on M which is also closed under the exterior derivative d. That is, for any ...

For R[z]>0, where J_nu(z) is a Bessel function of the first kind.

The partial differential equation u_t+u_(xxx)-6uu_x=0 (1) (Lamb 1980; Zwillinger 1997, p. 175), often abbreviated "KdV." This is a nondimensionalized version of the equation ...

An infinitesimal which is not the differential of an actual function and which cannot be expressed as dz=((partialz)/(partialx))_ydx+((partialz)/(partialy))_xdy, the way an ...

h_t+(|h|^nh_(xxx))_x=0, where h(x,t) is the height of a film at position x and time t and n is a parameter characteristic of the surface forces.

The partial differential equation u_t+uu_x=nuu_(xx) (Benton and Platzman 1972; Zwillinger 1995, p. 417; Zwillinger 1997, p. 130). The so-called nonplanar Burgers equation is ...

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

The partial differential equation u_(xy)+(alphau_x-betau_y)/(x-y)=0.
