SIMIODE - Home IODE Statistical analysis of differential equations: introducing probability measures on numerical solutions Consider the following ordinary differential equation (ODE): \begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}t}=f(u), \quad u(0)=u_{0}, \end{aligned} where u(\cdot ) is a continuous function taking values in \mathbb {R}^n.Footnote 2 We let \varPhi _t denote the flow map for Eq. (1), so that u(t)=\varPhi _t\bigl (u(0)\bigr ). Deterministic numerical methods for the integration of this equation on time interval [0, T] will produce an approximation to the equation on a mesh of points \{t_k=kh\}_{k=0}^{K}, with Kh=T, (for simplicity we assume a fixed mesh). Let X_{a,b} denote the Banach space C([a,b];\mathbb {R}^n). \begin{aligned} U_{k+1}=\varPsi _{h}(U_k)+\xi _k(h), \end{aligned} where \xi _k(h) are suitably scaled, i.i.d. The remainder of this section develops these solvers in detail and proves strong convergence of the random solutions to the exact solution, implying that \mu ^h \rightarrow \delta _u in an appropriate sense. for some choice of \sigma . The integral form of Eq. (1) is where and

At the Dawn of Life, Heat May Have Driven Cell Division An elegant ballet of proteins enables modern cells to replicate themselves. During cell division, structural proteins and enzymes coordinate the duplication of DNA, the division of a cell’s cytoplasmic contents, and the cinching of the membrane that cleaves the cell. Getting these processes right is crucial because errors can lead to daughter cells that are abnormal or unviable. Billions of years ago, the same challenge must have faced the first self-organizing membranous bundles of chemicals arising spontaneously from inanimate materials. But these protocells almost certainly had to replicate without relying on large proteins. How they did it is a key question for astrobiologists and biochemists studying the origins of life. “If you delete all enzymes in the cell, nothing happens. Attal thinks that that the chemical and physical processes active in early life were probably quite simple, and that thermodynamics alone could therefore have played a significant role in how life began.

Elementary solution for 2nd order linear ODE Differential equations rarely have closed-form solutions. Some do, and these are emphasized in textbooks. For this post we want to look specifically at homogeneous second order linear equations: y ” + a(x) y‘ + b(x) y = 0. If the coefficient functions a and b are constant, then the solution can be written down in terms of elementary functions, i.e. functions a first year calculus student would recognize. If the coefficients a and b are not constant, the differential equation usually does not have an elementary solution. A paper by Kovacic [1] thoroughly answers this question. Consider the equation y” + ry = 0 where [2] r(x) = (4 x6 – 8 x5 + 12 x4 + 4 x3 + 7 x2 – 20 x + 4)/4 x4. Then y(x) = x-3/2 (x2 – 1) exp(x2/2 – x – 1/x) is a solution, which the following Mathematica code verifies by evaluating to 0. r[x_] := (4 x^6 - 8 x^5 + 12 x^4 + 4 x^3 + 7 x^2 - 20 x + 4)/(4 x^4) f[x_] := x^(-3/2) (x^2 - 1) Exp[x^2/2 - x - 1/x] Simplify[D[f[x], {x, 2}] - r[x] f[x]] [1] Jerald J.
