Differential Equations


This chapter treats the numerical solution of differential equations using MATLAB. It includes:

Initial Value Problems for ODEs and DAEs

Describes the solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), where the solution of interest satisfies initial conditions at a given initial value of the independent variable.

Boundary Value Problems for ODEs

Describes the solution of ODEs, where the solution of interest satisfies certain boundary conditions. The boundary conditions specify a relationship between the values of the solution at the initial and final values of the independent variable.

Partial Differential Equations

Describes the solution of initial-boundary value problems for systems of parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) in one spatial variable and time.

Selected Bibliography
