In parabolic cylindrical coordinates, the scale factors are h_u=h_v=sqrt(u^2+v^2), h_z=1 and the separation functions are f_1(u)=f_2(v)=f_3(z)=1, giving Stäckel determinant ...

An indicial equation, also called a characteristic equation, is a recurrence equation obtained during application of the Frobenius method of solving a second-order ordinary ...

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).

The Prelle-Singer method is a semi-decision procedure for solving nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations of the form y^'=P(x,y)/Q(x,y), where P and Q are ...

The ordinary differential equation y=xf(y^')+g(y^'), where y^'=dy/dx and f and g are given functions. This equation is sometimes also known as Lagrange's equation (Zwillinger ...

A differential equation or system of ordinary differential equations is said to be autonomous if it does not explicitly contain the independent variable (usually denoted t). ...

The Baer differential equation is given by while the Baer "wave equation" is (Moon and Spencer 1961, pp. 156-157; Zwillinger 1997, p. 121).

Partial differential equation boundary conditions which give the value of the function on a surface, e.g., T=f(r,t).
