One reason fractional differential equations can be useful is that fractional derivatives contain non-local information.


Differential equations in the complex plane johndcook.com/blog/2023/07/0…


If f(x + iy) = u(x,y) + i v(x, y) is analytic, then u and v are harmonic, i.e. u_xx + u_yy = 0 and v_xx + v_yy = 0.


If f(x + iy) = u(x,y) + i v(x, y) is analytic, then u and v satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations: u_x = v_y, v_x = -u_y.

Robin boundary conditions specify a linear combination of solution and normal derivative values on the boundary.


'The fact is that PDEs, in particular those that are nonlinear, are too subtle to fit into a too general scheme. On the contrary, each important PDE seems to be a world in itself.' -- Sergiu Klainerman

Third-order ODEs are uncommon, and usually nonlinear, such as the Blasius equation. kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2013/03/1…


Bernoulli's equation: y' + p(x) y = q(x) y^n. Can be turned into a linear equation by the substitution u = y^(1-n).


Dirichlet boundary conditions specify solution values on boundary. Neumann boundary conditions specify normal derivatives of solution.

The canonical example of elliptical PDEs is Laplace's equation.

A solution corresponding to an eigenvalue with positive real part grows exponentially.


If a linear ODE has complex eigenvalues, solutions oscillate. If real parts are negative, oscillations decay exponentially.
