00:00:12,550 --> 00:00:18,040
A differential equation is an equation that relates one or more functions together, and the derivatives,

2
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:23,860
many processes that occur in the real world can be expressed as differential equations.

3
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:26,500
Now, these processes occur in nature.

4
00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:31,390
They occur in physics, biology, economics, engineering and many other areas.

5
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:38,440
Isaac Newton invented calculus, and he used it to describe classical mechanics to express the relationship

6
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,390
between precision, velocity and acceleration as a differential equation with respect to time.

7
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:51,040
What this means, for example, is that if P represents the position of the object, then is velocity.

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,880
V is how quickly the position is changing with time, i.e. the velocity V is the derivative of the position.

9
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,900
P The same thing can be said about acceleration and velocity.

10
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:08,200
Acceleration is the derivative of versity with respect to time, and it is the second derivative of

11
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,180
position p with respect to time.

12
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:15,310
And these specific equations are commonly referred to as the equations of motion.

13
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,750
Differential equations can be broken down into two different types.

14
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:25,510
There are ordinary differential equations or Odie's and there are partial differential equations.

15
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:33,610
P.D. Ordinary differential equations are an equation that contain only a single variable and is derivatives.

16
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:38,260
Most problems encountered in physics are ordinary differential equations.

17
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:44,490
For example, the equations of motion are all a function of derivatives of a single variable of precision.

18
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,870
He is the independent variable and put in the position.

19
00:01:49,870 --> 00:01:54,230
Velocity and acceleration are dependent variables as they depend on time.

20
00:01:55,090 --> 00:02:01,030
These are the types of differential equations which we will focus on for data fusion and data estimation,

21
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,230
as we usually want to track how variables evolve over time.

22
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,980
With time being the independent variable, partial differential equations are equations that contain

23
00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:13,900
multiple variables and attributes.

24
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:21,340
An example of this is the equation which is used in many areas of physics, such as heat transfer and

25
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:22,210
fluid dynamics.

26
00:02:23,140 --> 00:02:27,930
The equation order of a differential equation is determined by high highest derivative.

27
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:34,550
If an equation only contains the first order derivatives, then it is a first order differential equation.

28
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:39,640
Likewise, if it contains second order derivatives, then it is a second order differential equation.

29
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:47,160
So going back to our equations of motion, the first equation for velocity is a first order differential

30
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,760
equation, while the equation for acceleration is a second order differential equation, a linear system

31
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,330
is a system that is output changes proportional to the input.

32
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
And a nonlinear system is one that does not.

33
00:03:00,990 --> 00:03:05,250
Linear equations conform to the properties of an activity and homogeneity.

34
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:11,940
A.R.T. just means that for a function, if you get the same result, if the inputs you and V added together

35
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:18,090
before the function is evaluated, or if you evaluate the function separately with you and V and add

36
00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:19,650
the results together afterwards.

37
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:26,060
Homogeneity just means that if the input is scaled, then it is the same as scaling the output of the

38
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:31,790
function, a linear, ordinary differential equation means that both sides of the equation are linear

39
00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:34,620
combination of the dependent variables and the derivatives.

40
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:38,450
So most linear odors can be written in the following form.

41
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,640
So here are two examples.

42
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,730
One linear one and one non-linear one.

43
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:48,680
The first one is linear, as is dependent variable y and its derivatives are only linear combination

44
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,270
of each other.

45
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:56,120
While the second example is non-linear as the dependent variable Y is placed inside the nonlinear sine

46
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:56,600
function.

47
00:03:56,930 --> 00:03:59,900
So the equation is no longer just a linear combination.
