H-principle

In mathematics, the homotopy principle (h-principle) is a very general way to solve partial differential equations (PDE), and more generally partial differential relations (PDR). The h-principle is good for underdetermined PDE or PDR such as immersion problem, isometric immersions problem and so on.
