Require help for the solution of second order differential equation.

In summary: Zaphys cannot help with the numeric methods required for this problem. Sorry for the inconvenience. In summary, the conversation was about a person seeking help with a second order differential equation and someone offering to help, but ultimately not being able to due to lack of knowledge in numerical methods.

From where did that equation came from! its like a monster ;) no if i find an operative way of solving it i tell you

Just to be sure:

[tex]\frac{\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}}{[\,( 1\,+\,(\frac{dy}{dx})^2 )^{3/2}\,]} + \frac{\frac{dy}{dx}}{[\,x\,( 1\,+\,(\frac{dy}{dx})^2 )^{1/2}\,] }\;{-\,y} = 0 [/tex]

where

[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} = tan \theta\;at\;x = x_o [/tex]

and

[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} \rightarrow 0\; and\;y = 0\;as\;x \rightarrow \infty [/tex]

FAQ: Require help for the solution of second order differential equation.

What is a second order differential equation?

A second order differential equation is a mathematical equation that involves the second derivative of a function. In other words, it is an equation that contains a function and its first and second derivatives.

How do you solve a second order differential equation?

To solve a second order differential equation, you can use a variety of techniques such as separation of variables, substitution, or using an integrating factor. You may also need to use initial conditions to find the particular solution.

What are initial conditions in the context of second order differential equations?

Initial conditions refer to the values of the function and its first derivative at a specific point. These values are used to find the particular solution of a second order differential equation.

What are the applications of second order differential equations?

Second order differential equations have many applications in physics, engineering, and other fields of science. They are commonly used to model systems that involve acceleration, such as the motion of objects under the influence of forces.

Can a second order differential equation have multiple solutions?

Yes, a second order differential equation can have multiple solutions. This is because the general solution of a second order differential equation involves two arbitrary constants, which can take on different values to produce different solutions.
