Differential system of equations I would like to simplify

I have 2 functions of time $f(t),g(t)$ and a condition for the time-derivative of a third function $h(t)$, say $$\dot{h}(t)=\dot{g}(t)\cos{f(t)},$$ so $h$ is defined provided a value for $h(0)$ (as $h(...

On constructing the canonical boundary operator for a given differential operator

Given an $n\times n$ matrix $$X=\begin{pmatrix} x_{11} & x_{12} & \cdots & x_{1n} \\ x_{21} & x_{22} & \cdots & x_{2n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ x_{n1}...

Inductive proof that $\dot{M}_{n+1}=-M_{n+1}+W^{(n+2)}(0)+vM_{n+2}$

The motivation for the following is to convert the integro-differential equation \begin{equation} \kappa\ddot x+\dot x=-kx+\beta\int_{-\infty}^t W'(x(t)-x(s))e^{s-t}ds, \end{equation} into a ...

Solution of this differential equation [closed]

I wonder if it is possible to solve analytically the following equation $$ \dot{\alpha}_t = -\frac{2}{m} \alpha^2_t + \frac{1}{2m} (\alpha_t - \alpha_t^*)^2 $$ Where $\alpha_t$ is a complex function, $...

Reference for numerical solutions for differential equations like $f'(x)=f(x+1)+f(x-1)$

One can solve a delay differential equation (like for example $f'(x)=f(x-1)$) if we have a function as a bounded condition (in my example we need to know $f$ on $[0,1)$) and then use a simple forward ...
