On the analytic solution of the Cauchy problem
2008
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
Preserved Fulltext
Derivatives of a solution of an ODE Cauchy problem can be computed inductively using the Faà di Bruno formula. In this paper, we exhibit a noninductive formula for these derivatives. At the heart of this formula is a combinatorial problem, which is solved in this paper. We also give a more tractable form of the Magnus expansion for the solution of a homogeneous linear ODE.
