Handbook Of Ordinary Differential Equations

The Handbook of Ordinary Differential Equations: Exact Solutions, Methods, and Problems, is an exceptional and complete reference for scientists and engineers as it contains over 7,000 ordinary differential equations with solutions. This book contains more equations and methods used in the field than any other book currently available. Included in the handbook are exact, asymptotic, approximate analytical, numerical symbolic and qualitative methods that are used for solving and analyzing linear and nonlinear equations. The authors also present formulas for effective construction of solutions and many different equations arising in various applications like heat transfer, elasticity, hydrodynamics and more. This extensive handbook is the perfect resource for engineers and scientists searching for an exhaustive reservoir of information on ordinary differential equations.

Exact solutions of differential equations continue to play an important role in the understanding of many phenomena and processes throughout the natural sciences in that they can verify the correctness of or estimate errors in solutions reached by numerical, asymptotic, and approximate analytical methods. The new edition of this bestselling handboo

This book compiles the most widely applicable methods for solving and approximating differential equations. as well as numerous examples showing the methods use. Topics include ordinary differential equations, symplectic integration of differential equations, and the use of wavelets when numerically solving differential equations. For nearly every technique, the book provides: The types of equations to which the method is applicable The idea behind the method The procedure for carrying out the method At least one simple example of the method Any cautions that should be exercised Notes for more advanced users References to the literature for more discussion or more examples, including pointers to electronic resources, such as URLs

This handbook is the fourth volume in a series of volumes devoted to self-contained and up-to-date surveys in the theory of ordinary differential equations, with an additional effort to achieve readability for mathematicians and scientists from other related fields so that the chapters have been made accessible to a wider audience. * Covers a variety of problems in ordinary differential equations * Pure mathematical and real-world applications * Written for mathematicians and scientists of many related fields

The Handbook of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations is the latest in a series of acclaimed handbooks by these authors and presents exact solutions of more than 1600 nonlinear equations encountered in science and engineering--many more than any other book available. The equations include those of parabolic, hyperbolic, elliptic and other types, and the authors pay special attention to equations of general form that involve arbitrary functions. A supplement at the end of the book discusses the classical and new methods for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear equations. To accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid wherever possible the use of special terminology, outline some of the methods in a schematic, simplified manner, and arrange the equations in increasing order of complexity. Highlights of the Handbook:

This book is a compilation of the most important and widely applicable methods for evaluating and approximating integrals. It is an indispensable time saver for engineers and scientists needing to evaluate integrals in their work. From the table of contents: - Applications of Integration - Concepts and Definitions - Exact Analytical Methods - Approximate Analytical Methods - Numerical Methods: Concepts - Numerical Methods: Techniques

Following in the footsteps of the authors' bestselling Handbook of Integral Equations and Handbook of Exact Solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations, this handbook presents brief formulations and exact solutions for more than 2,200 equations and problems in science and engineering. Parabolic, hyperbolic, and elliptic equations with

The book contains seven survey papers about ordinary differential equations.The common feature of all papers consists in the fact that nonlinear equations are focused on. This reflects the situation in modern mathematical modelling - nonlinear mathematical models are more realistic and describe the real world problems more accurately. The implications are that new methods and approaches have to be looked for, developed and adopted in order to understand and solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations.The purpose of this volume is to inform the mathematical community and also other scientists interested in and using the mathematical apparatus of ordinary differential equations, about some of these methods and possible applications.
