  2. Matrix difference equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_difference_equation

    Starting from the n-dimensional system y t = Ay t−1, we can extract the dynamics of one of the state variables, say y 1. The above solution equation for y t shows that the solution for y 1,t is in terms of the n eigenvalues of A. Therefore the equation describing the evolution of y 1 by itself

  3. Linear recurrence with constant coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_recurrence_with...

    In mathematics (including combinatorics, linear algebra, and dynamical systems), a linear recurrence with constant coefficients [1]: ch. 17 [2]: ch. 10 (also known as a linear recurrence relation or linear difference equation) sets equal to 0 a polynomial that is linear in the various iterates of a variable—that is, in the values of the elements of a sequence.

  4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  5. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).

  6. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial: x 6 − 9 x 3 + 8 = 0. {\displaystyle x^{6}-9x^{3}+8=0.} Sixth-degree polynomial equations are generally impossible to solve in terms of radicals (see Abel–Ruffini theorem ).

  7. Characteristic equation (calculus) - Wikipedia

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

    Indeed, since y(x) is real, c 1 − c 2 must be imaginary or zero and c 1 + c 2 must be real, in order for both terms after the last equals sign to be real.) For example, if c 1 = c 2 = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, then the particular solution y 1 (x) = e ax cos bx is formed.

  8. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    These equations for solution of a first-order partial differential equation are identical to the Euler–Lagrange equations if we make the identification = ˙ ˙. We conclude that the function ψ {\displaystyle \psi } is the value of the minimizing integral A {\displaystyle A} as a function of the upper end point.

  9. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    The exact solution of the differential equation is () =, so () =. Although the approximation of the Euler method was not very precise in this specific case, particularly due to a large value step size h {\displaystyle h} , its behaviour is qualitatively correct as the figure shows.
