Download or read book Differential Algebra And Related Topics - Proceedings Of The International Workshop written by Phyllis J Cassidy and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differential algebra explores properties of solutions to systems of (ordinary or partial, linear or nonlinear) differential equations from an algebraic point of view. It includes as special cases algebraic systems as well as differential systems with algebraic constraints. This algebraic theory of Joseph F Ritt and Ellis R Kolchin is further enriched by its interactions with algebraic geometry, Diophantine geometry, differential geometry, model theory, control theory, automatic theorem proving, combinatorics, and difference equations. Differential algebra now plays an important role in computational methods such as symbolic integration, and symmetry analysis of differential equations. This volume includes tutorial and survey papers presented at workshop.
