What is the difference between an ordinary differential equation and a partial differential equation?

ordinary differential equation is obtained only one independent variable and partial differential equation is obtained more than one variable.


Heat equation partial differential?

Yes, it is.


What is a numerical solution of a partial differential equation?

Some partial differential equations do not have analytical solutions. These can only be solved numerically.


What are the applications of partial differential equations in computer science?

All the optimization problems in Computer Science have a predecessor analogue in continuous domain and they are generally expressed in the form of either functional differential equation or partial differential equation. A classic example is the Hamiltonian Jacobi Bellman equation which is the precursor of Bellman Ford algorithm in CS.


What is nonlinear ordinary differential equation?

An ordinary differential equation is an equation relating the derivatives of a function to the function and the variable being differentiated against. For example, dy/dx=y+x would be an ordinary differential equation. This is as opposed to a partial differential equation which relates the partial derivatives of a function to the partial variables such as d²u/dx²=-d²u/dt². In a linear ordinary differential equation, the various derivatives never get multiplied together, but they can get multiplied by the variable. For example, d²y/dx²+x*dy/dx=x would be a linear ordinary differential equation. A nonlinear ordinary differential equation does not have this restriction and lets you chain as many derivatives together as you want. For example, d²y/dx² * dy/dx * y = x would be a perfectly valid example
