What is Analytical solution: Definition and 64 Discussions

In mathematics, a closed-form expression is a mathematical expression expressed using a finite number of standard operations. It may contain constants, variables, certain "well-known" operations (e.g., + − × ÷), and functions (e.g., nth root, exponent, logarithm, trigonometric functions, and inverse hyperbolic functions), but usually no limit, differentiation, or integration. The set of operations and functions admitted in a closed-form expression may vary with author and context.

    Nonlinear ODE: Analytical Solution?

    Nonlinear 1st order ODE \frac{dH}{dt}=B-A*(H-Z)^{3/2} where: B,A and Z are known values H=f(t); H is function of t I've already solve this ODE numerically using a 4th order RK routine. But my question is, it is possible to get an analytical solution for H(t)?

    Analytical solution for circular cavity under internal pressure

    A book listed the problem infinite circular cavity under internal pressure and said there is a analytical solution for stress and displacements but it didn't give any reference. I have searched many papers and online materials but still couldn't find anything. The closest thing I found...

    Looking for an analytical solution for a quadratic attractive potential well

    I am trying to derive an equation of motion for a simple electrostatic potential well. Imagine a scenario where an electron (or other charged particle) is released from an arbitrary distance from a fixed (unperturbable) attractive charge (say a proton fixed in space). In 1 dimension, the...

    Analytical solution of Laplace's equation with horrendous boundary conditions

    Hi, I'm trying to find an analytical solution of Laplace's equation: \phi_{xx} + \phi_{tt} = 0 with the tricky boundary conditions: 1. \phi(x=0,|t|>\tau)= 0 2. \phi(x\neq0, |t|>>\tau)=0 3. \phi_{x}(x=0, |t|<\tau)=-1 4. \phi_{t}(x, |t|>>\tau)=0 I have the following ansatz(I...

    Solving Nonlinear ODEs with Trigonometric Functions in Physics

    I have a couple ODEs that I need to solve. I was probably just going to put them into mathematica, but I like finding the analytical way also. The first one is \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{(y + \lambda)y'}{\sqrt{1+y'^2}} \right) = \sqrt{1+y'^2} Lambda is a constant and y' is dy/dx. I...

    Can an analytical solution for PRKE be found with ramp reactivity ?

    Hi there, Before i state what my actual question is, let me give some background on some work i have done on this. I have been trying to solve the 0-D PRKE transient problem for a step and a ramp input numerically using couple of high precision methods. 1) Using MATLAB's inbuilt ode23s...

    Analytical solution for coupled ODE's

    Hello all, I wanted to know if there are ways to find analytical solutions for a set of equations defined as follows: 1) x''(z) + B(y,z)*y'(z) + C(y,z) = 0 2) y''(z) + B(y,z)*x'(z) = 0 where ' represents derivative wrt z. and we need to determine y(z) and x(z). B(y,z) and C(y,z) are...
