integro-differential equation

views updated

integro-differential equation Any equation for an unknown function involving integrals and derivatives of the function. Many different types can arise and there is no straightforward classification. The initial-value problem (see ordinary differential equations) given by f(a) = f0

also contains features common to Volterra integral equations (see integral equation). Boundary-value problems and equations involving partial derivatives also occur in practice.
