THIS IS A PROTOTYPE; ONLY SOME PARTS ARE WORKING. Send comments to information@delib.com
After specifying a differential equation (there are several
different ways to specify one, see below) the differential
equation library will return information and/or references for
that differential equation.
Find a differential equation by typing the equation, its
library number, or its name
Enter the equation or library number of interest
EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as: y''-xy=0 EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as: D[y[x],{x,2}] - x y[x]=0 EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as: L111a12345
EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as: Airy equation
EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as: equation, Airy
EXAMPLE The Airy equation is entered
as (MathML):

Find a differential equation by browsing the table of contents
(textually or via sample equations)
Here are the top levels of the successively detailed table of
contents:
Click here if there are
question marks (?) in the above (your browser does not support
ISO-8859-1 characters).
EXAMPLE The Airy equation is found
in: "Ordinary differential equations",
"Second order equations", "Linear equations"
section.
Find a differential equation by name
Select the letter to obtain a list of named differential
equations beginning with that letter:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
EXAMPLE For the Airy equation, click
on "A".

equation y''-xy=0 select "ODE", then select
"Entire DES", "linear", "2 terms", "Second order", "1
independent variable", "1 dependent variable",
"polynomial expressions".
The library will return a list of equations with these features,
including the Airy equation.
