Differentially Closed Field

Differentially Closed Field

In mathematics, a differential field K is differentially closed if every finite system of differential equations with a solution in some differential field extending K already has a solution in K. This concept was introduced by Robinson (1959). Differentially closed fields are the analogues for differential equations of algebraically closed fields for polynomial equations.

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or field:

    On a flat road runs the well-trained runner,
    He is lean and sinewy with muscular legs,
    He is thinly clothed, he leans forward as he runs,
    With lightly closed fists and arms partially raised.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The birds their quire apply; airs, vernal airs,
    Breathing the smell of field and grove, attune
    The trembling leaves, while universal Pan,
    Knit with the Graces and the Hours in dance,
    Led on th’ eternal Spring.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
