  2. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    Often, it is difficult or impossible to solve explicitly for y, and implicit differentiation is the only feasible method of differentiation. An example is the equation =. It is impossible to algebraically express y explicitly as a function of x, and therefore one cannot find ⁠ dy / dx ⁠ by explicit differentiation. Using the implicit method ...

  3. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    The fifth example shows the possibly complicated geometric structure of an implicit curve. The implicit function theorem describes conditions under which an equation F ( x , y ) = 0 {\displaystyle F(x,y)=0} can be solved implicitly for x and/or y – that is, under which one can validly write x = g ( y ) {\displaystyle x=g(y)} or y = f ( x ...

  4. Implicit function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

    The unit circle can be specified as the level curve f(x, y) = 1 of the function f(x, y) = x 2 + y 2.Around point A, y can be expressed as a function y(x).In this example this function can be written explicitly as () =; in many cases no such explicit expression exists, but one can still refer to the implicit function y(x).

  5. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    The modern development of calculus is usually credited to Isaac Newton (1643–1727) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716), who provided independent [e] and unified approaches to differentiation and derivatives. The key insight, however, that earned them this credit, was the fundamental theorem of calculus relating differentiation and ...

  6. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    Implicit differentiation gives the formula for the slope of the tangent line to this curve to be [3] =. Using either one of the polar representations above, the area of the interior of the loop is found to be 3 a 2 / 2 {\displaystyle 3a^{2}/2} .

  7. Explicit and implicit methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_and_implicit_methods

    For such problems, to achieve given accuracy, it takes much less computational time to use an implicit method with larger time steps, even taking into account that one needs to solve an equation of the form (1) at each time step. That said, whether one should use an explicit or implicit method depends upon the problem to be solved.

  8. Exact differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_differential_equation

    Implicit differentiation of the exact second-order equation times will yield an (+) th-order differential equation with new conditions for exactness that can be readily deduced from the form of the equation produced. For example, differentiating the above second-order differential equation once to yield a third-order exact equation gives the ...

  9. Backward differentiation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_differentiation...

    The backward differentiation formula (BDF) is a family of implicit methods for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations.They are linear multistep methods that, for a given function and time, approximate the derivative of that function using information from already computed time points, thereby increasing the accuracy of the approximation.
