Ordinary differential equation

An ordinary differential equation, or ODE, is an equation depending on a single spatial variable. An ODE is called autonomous if it is time-independent, and nonautonomous otherwise. Important theorems in the field of ODE's include broad existence and uniqueness theorems and for ODE's in the plane, the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem.
