Maxima Function
ic2 (solution, xval, yval, dval)
Solves initial value problems for second-order differential equations.
Here solution is a general solution to the equation, as found by
ode2
, xval gives the initial value for the independent
variable in the form x = x0
, yval gives the
initial value of the dependent variable in the form y =y0
, and dval gives the initial value for the first
derivative of the dependent variable with respect to independent
variable, in the form diff(y,x) = dy0
(diff
does not have to be quoted).
