unusual facts about ordinary differential equations



Green's matrix

In mathematics, and in particular ordinary differential equations, a Green's matrix helps to determine a particular solution to a first-order inhomogeneous linear system of ODEs.

Lee Lorch

In his academic work, Lorch focused on several subfields of classical analysis such as summability theory, Fourier analysis, ordinary differential equations and real analysis.

Exact solutions in general relativity

With sufficiently clever assumptions of this sort, it is often possible to reduce the Einstein field equation to a much simpler system of equations, even a single partial differential equation (as happens in the case of stationary axisymmetric vacuum solutions, which are characterized by the Ernst equation) or a system of ordinary differential equations (as happens in the case of the Schwarzschild vacuum).
