What is the most general method of approximating arbitrary systems of ODEs of 4 variables(x,y,z,t) that fit these conditions? The conditions that are assumed true of the ODEs are:
1) that I require differentials to be explicitly defined (but they can be defined in terms of other differentials).
2) that time is assumed linear (ei, it's a 3 variable system described in terms of 4, but the 4th is known)
That is:
dx=y^2+sin(x)
dy=-dz+y*t
dz=t*z
would be valid, because dx,dy, and dz are explicitly defined and alone on one side.
dx=f(dx)
would be invalid, because I don't want to solve implicit equations.
f(dx,x,y,z,t) = g(x,y,z,t)
would be invalid, because I don't want to have to move all the junk to the other side to get an explicit definition of dx.
