### Numerical integration in Python with unknown constant

I’d like to solve the below equation for the unknown $T$: $$\int_0^\infty \frac{x^2}{\exp\left(\frac{x}{T}\right)-1}\kappa_x \mathrm{d}x = C,$$ where $C$ is a known constant and $\kappa_x$ is some ...

### Formulation of the least-squares parameter estimation problem

I have a system of 10 ordinary differential equations of the form, $$\frac{dy_1}{dt} = f1(V1,k1,y1,y2)\\ \vdots \\ \frac{dy_{10}}{dt} = f_{10}(V_{10},k_{10},y_{9},y_{10})$$ I want to estimate the ...

### Advantages and disadvantages of space-time finite element methods

I have heard of space-time finite element methods. Although I was able to find some articles that describe the different possible methods from a mathematical point of view (thanks to Space-time finite ...

### Finite Difference Method Algorithm

I'm trying to devise an algorithm for the finite difference method, but I'm a bit confused. The ODE in question is y''-5y'+10y = 10x, with y(0)=0 and y(1)=100. So I need a way to somehow obtain the ...

### What is the state of the art in solving stiff initial value problems?

I'm looking for current references on solving stiff ODEs. Most of what I know (say, BDF methods) apparently date back to the 1980's, and I feel like a lot of progress should have been made in that ...
