Numerical solution of a differential equation with time dependent terms

AI Thread Summary
To solve the differential equation with time-dependent terms, starting at t = 0 and incrementing time step by step is essential. Known parameters allow for a straightforward calculation process. Various numerical techniques exist, with the Runge-Kutta method being recommended for its balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. Implementing this in software can be done using programming languages that support numerical analysis. Exploring these methods will yield a practical solution to the problem.

Could you give me some practical ideas about the required software and methodology? Thank you very much

If all the parameters are known, did you try to just calculate it time steps by time step? Did it work?
There are more precise integration methods, but that is something you can have a look at afterwards.
 
Yes, all the parameters are known, but how I can calculate the time step by time step?

Time is the independent variable. You start your calculations at t = 0, increment t, rinse and repeat.
 
And how I could implement it in software?, I need a numerical solution of this equations.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
