What is the parametric equation for nonlinear initial value problrm?
Answers
The study deals with nonlinear ordinary differential equations defined parametri-
cally by two relations; these arise in fluid dynamics and are a special class of cou-
pled differential-algebraic equations. We propose a few techniques for reducing
such equations, first or second order, to systems of standard ordinary differential
equations as well as techniques for the exact integration of these systems. Several
examples show how to construct general solutions to some classes of nonlinear
equations involving arbitrary functions. We specify a procedure for the numerical
solution of the Cauchy problem for parametrically defined differential equations
and related differential-algebraic equations. The proposed techniques are also ef-
fective for the numerical integration of problems for implicitly defined equations.
