  2. Method of undetermined coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_undetermined...

    g(x) is a constant, a polynomial function, exponential function , sine or cosine functions ⁡ or ⁡, or finite sums and products of these functions (, constants). The method consists of finding the general homogeneous solution y c {\displaystyle y_{c}} for the complementary linear homogeneous differential equation

  3. System of polynomial equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_polynomial_equations

    Thus solving a polynomial system over a number field is reduced to solving another system over the rational numbers. For example, if a system contains 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} , a system over the rational numbers is obtained by adding the equation r 2 2 – 2 = 0 and replacing 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} by r 2 in the other equations.

  4. Collocation method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocation_method

    In mathematics, a collocation method is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and integral equations.The idea is to choose a finite-dimensional space of candidate solutions (usually polynomials up to a certain degree) and a number of points in the domain (called collocation points), and to select that solution which satisfies the ...

  5. Differential-algebraic system of equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential-algebraic...

    In mathematics, a differential-algebraic system of equations (DAE) is a system of equations that either contains differential equations and algebraic equations, or is equivalent to such a system. The set of the solutions of such a system is a differential algebraic variety , and corresponds to an ideal in a differential algebra of differential ...

  6. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.

  7. Characteristic equation (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_equation...

    [3] [4] The characteristic equation can only be formed when the differential equation is linear and homogeneous, and has constant coefficients. [1] Such a differential equation, with y as the dependent variable, superscript (n) denoting n th-derivative, and a n, a n − 1, ..., a 1, a 0 as constants,

  8. Gröbner basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gröbner_basis

    This solving process is only theoretical, because it implies GCD computation and root-finding of polynomials with approximate coefficients, which are not practicable because of numeric instability. Therefore, other methods have been developed to solve polynomial systems through Gröbner bases (see System of polynomial equations for more details).

  9. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    To nondimensionalize a system of equations, one must do the following: Identify all the independent and dependent variables; Replace each of them with a quantity scaled relative to a characteristic unit of measure to be determined; Divide through by the coefficient of the highest order polynomial or derivative term;
