The discussion revolves around finding an approximation to a complex differential equation (DiffEQ) given by the equation dx/dt = c1 / (c2 + c3*x*t). Participants explore the feasibility of numerical solutions and the necessary conditions for such approximations.
Participants generally agree that a numerical solution is possible, but there is some debate about the terminology used to describe the differential equation. The discussion remains focused on the methods and tools for obtaining a solution without reaching a consensus on the nature of the equation itself.
There are limitations regarding the assumptions made about the constants and initial conditions, as well as the specific methods available for numerical approximation. The discussion does not resolve how these factors might affect the solution.
This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in numerical methods for solving differential equations, particularly those using Matlab or similar software tools.
Do you really mean complex, or simply "complicated?"CaseyGross said:I've been trying to figure out a way to get an approximation to a complex DiffEQ.
Do you know c1, c2, c3 and x(0)?CaseyGross said:dx/dt = c1 / (c2 + c3*x*t)
If what you want is a numerical solution, as your title indicates, then it is trivial. What software to you have access to and know how to use (Matlab, Mathematica, C compiler, ...) ?CaseyGross said:Does anyone have any input on wether this problem can be approximated?
