The problem involves a differential equation presented in the form of a second-order equation, initially framed as a partial differential equation (PDE) but later referred to as an ordinary differential equation (ODE). The equation includes a nonlinear term dependent on the variable X.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants questioning the classification of the equation and exploring different methods for solving it. There is no explicit consensus on the approach, but various lines of reasoning are being examined.
There is uncertainty regarding whether the equation should be treated as a PDE or an ODE, which affects the proposed methods of solution. Participants are also navigating the implications of the nonlinear term in the equation.
Is it a pde or not? Ie, is X a vector or a single variable? As for how to solve it if it is an ODE, just integrate it with respect to a and then solve normally.coverband said:How do you solve with s.o.v. ?
