01 Mar 2018 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: Hans Rudolf Schneebeli

Abstract:How can function values for sine or cosine be quickly and reliably numerically estimated? We consider equal circular motions on the unit circle in the complex plane and find sine and cosine as solutions of a differential equation. The two functions can be numerically approximated...

Two competing populations: simulations with differential equations

01 Mar 2018 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: Hans Rudolf Schneebeli, Claudio Marsan

Abstract: Suppose two populations are competing with each other. How can they then develop? We offer insights with simulation calculations. In the model is the evolution of the biomass of the two populations described with differential equations. A fundamental building block is the logistic...

24 May 2017 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: CLAUDE MICHAEL CASSANO

A particular solution for any nonhomogeneous linear second, third, and fourth order ordinary differential equation is generally determined. Applying what was determined thus; and following by example a particular solution formula for arbitrary order is obtained. Finding a particular solutions to...

29 Mar 2017 | Articles and Publications | Contributor(s):: Brian Winkel

We examine two differential equations, (1) first order exponential growth or decay and (2) second order, linear, constant coefficient differential equations, and show the advantage of learning differential equations in a modeling context for informed conjectures of their solution. We follow with...
