9.60 OrderlyDifferentialPolynomial

Many systems of differential equations may be transformed to equivalent systems of ordinary differential equations where the equations are expressed polynomially in terms of the unknown functions. In FriCAS, the domain constructors OrderlyDifferentialPolynomial (abbreviated ODPOL) and SequentialDifferentialPolynomial (abbreviation SDPOL) implement two domains of ordinary differential polynomials over any differential ring. In the simplest case, this differential ring is usually either the ring of integers, or the field of rational numbers. However, FriCAS can handle ordinary differential polynomials over a field of rational functions in a single indeterminate.

The two domains ODPOL and SDPOL are almost identical, the only difference being the choice of a different ranking, which is an ordering of the derivatives of the indeterminates. The first domain uses an orderly ranking, that is, derivatives of higher order are ranked higher, and derivatives of the same order are ranked alphabetically. The second domain uses a sequential ranking, where derivatives are ordered first alphabetically by the differential indeterminates, and then by order. A more general domain constructor, DifferentialSparseMultivariatePolynomial (abbreviation DSMP) allows both a user-provided list of differential indeterminates as well as a user-defined ranking. We shall illustrate ODPOL(FRAC INT), which constructs a domain of ordinary differential polynomials in an arbitrary number of differential indeterminates with rational numbers as coefficients.

A differential indeterminate w may be viewed as an infinite sequence of algebraic indeterminates, which are the derivatives of w. To facilitate referencing these, FriCAS provides the operation makeVariablemakeVariableOrderlyDifferentialPolynomial to convert an element of type Symbol to a map from the natural numbers to the differential polynomial ring.

w := makeVariable('w)$dpol

The fifth derivative of w can be obtained by applying the map w to the number 5. Note that the order of differentiation is given as a subscript (except when the order is 0).

To substitute differentially, use evalevalOrderlyDifferentialPolynomial. Note that we must coerce ‘w to Symbol, since in ODPOL, differential indeterminates belong to the domain Symbol. Compare this result to the next, which substitutes algebraically (no substitution is done since w.0 does not appear in g).
