	PlanetMath: initial value problem
		An initial value problem is then a differential equation (ordinary or partial, or even a system) which, besides of stating the relation among the derivatives, also, by giving the initial conditions, specifies the values of the unknowns at some point.
		In fact, one of the main problems in the theory of differential equations is to determine what sort of initial conditions will single out a unique solution of a given differential equation.
		This is version 6 of initial value problem, born on 2003-10-24, modified 2006-02-22.

	Initial value problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an initial value problem is a statement of a differential equation together with specified value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain of the solution.
		The proof of this theorem proceeds by reformulating the problem as an equivalent integral equation.
		Hiroshi Okamura obtained a necessary and sufficient condition for the solution of an initial value problem to be unique.

	Boundary value problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a boundary value problem consists of a differential equation and the initial or boundary values required to solve the equation.
		Among the earliest boundary value problems to be studied is the Dirichlet problem, of finding the harmonic functions (solutions to Laplace's equation); the solution was given by the Dirichlet principle.
		Problems involving the wave equation, such as the determination of normal modes, are often stated as boundary value problems.

	PlanetMath: Cauchy initial value problem
		Also, depending on the topics, the name chosen for the function and for the variable, can change.

	Introduction to Differential Equations, part 2
		This second condition is called an initial condition -- the value of dependent variable (in this case S) at the first value of the independent variable (in this case t) under consideration.
		A differential equation together with an initial condition is called an initial value problem.
		A solution to an initial value problem is a solution to the differential equation that also satisfies the initial condition.

	9.5 The initial boundary value problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This leads to the consideration of initial boundary value problems.
		It is not so natural to consider such problems in the case of the Einstein equations since in that case there are no physically motivated boundary conditions.
		Since boundary conditions come up quite naturally when the Einstein equations are solved numerically, due to the need to use a finite grid, the results of [107] are potentially important for numerical relativity.

		A lot of the equations that you work with in science and engineering are derived from a specific type of differential equation called an initial value problem.
		Using the initial data, plug it into the general solution and solve for c.

		We study the initial value problem for actions whose non-locality is{open_quotes}maximal{close_quotes} in the sense that there is no dependence upon the separation between points.
		We show that the solutions are those of a local theory whose (spacetime constant) parameters vary with the initial value data according to algebraic equations.
		It is also possible that the consistency of these algebraic equations imposes constraints upon the initial value data which appear miraculous from the context of a local theory.

		A dynamical problem whose solution determines the state of a system at all times subsequent to a given time at which the state of the system is specified by given initial conditions.

		i know how to do the question but my problem is just i dont know how to get all the x's on one side and the y's on the other.
		I probably gave away the real trick to the problem, which was the proper rearrangment of the equation.
		I think 40% of the problem was the getting the 2nd and 3rd lines, 50% of the problem was lines 4-7, and 10% was the rest.

	Main Results and Relation to Gelfand-Yaglom's Initial-Value Problem
		Here we present an even more direct method, by which we express the result in terms of solutions of Gelfand-Yaglom's initial-value problem for Dirichlet boundary conditions, and of a dual problem for periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions.
		In terms of the same functions, the general solution of the inhomogeneous initial-value problem (42) can be seen to have the form
		For this purpose we introduce another homogeneous initial-value problem whose boundary conditions are dual to Gelfand and Yaglom's in (41):

		Both engineers and computational scientists alike will benefit greatly from having a standard test set for Initial Value Problems (IVPs) which includes documentation of the test problems, experimental results from a number of proven solvers, and Fortran subroutines providing a common interface to the defining problem functions.
		Engineers will be able to see at a glance which methods will be most effective for their class of problems.
		Researchers will be able to compare their new methods with the results of existing ones without incurring additional programming workload; they will have a reference with which their colleagues are familiar.
