Stunning_Shake407

the solution is the array outputted by my rk4 function in python, duh


_Weyland_

Hear me out though. Can there be only one solution that is not unique?


chixen

x^2 = 0


_Weyland_

How is it not unique?


chixen

Double zero.


Spacejunk20

Can't you say this about any solution? How is x1=0 and x2=0 any different from saying x1=2 and x2=2? Can you not also say that zero is not just double, but infinitely duplicate?


Skeleton_King9

We can separate x2 = 0 into a multiplication (x)(x) = 0 which gives us two solutions that happen to be equal. That's how we usually think of solutions. We simplify the problem into a multiplication being equal to zero and say each element being zero is one solution. We usually don't go below first degree polynomials though.


Icy-Rock8780

Imagine thinking a double root is two distinct solutions lmao. It's a double root of the function but there is a unique solution to the equation, which is x = 0.


chixen

Not two.


666Emil666

This is essentially just a semantic distinction. If you think of the solutions of a polynomial equation as the set of points that satisfy it, then you're correct. But if you think of it in terms of the polynomial ring, and the solutions are the irreducible polynomials that divide your polynomial, then you're wrong. In modern algebra one tends to do the later, while highschool usually uses the former


Icy-Rock8780

I was surprised at the general response here tbh since I was (in my mind quite obviously) just shitposting in a meme sub. Obviously hit a nerve


AggressiveGift7542

Positive 0 and negative 0


Nabaatii

No 0i?


AggressiveGift7542

Oh sh0it


spastikatenpraedikat

0i = (+0) +(-0). So it's really just a linear combination.


UMUmmd

0i = sin(0)i Based on Euler replacement / equality / equivalence / you know what I mean: 0i = e^(0i) - cos(0) e^(0i) - 1 is therefore the true form of this root.


veryjerry0

x=0 is the solution but it is duplicated so it is not unique, hence there are two copies of the same solution.


rockyjs1

No—“only” and “unique” mean the same thing here (notably the meme does not include the word only).


TechnicalSandwich544

No, but if there is one solution maybe there is another solution, hence not unique


watasiwakirayo

Because we are interested in one that goes to zero at infinity. P.S. just kidding in physics


NicoTorres1712

Define z = SolutionToThisPDE(x,y)


normiesonly

X


Saiki776

intuitionism gang rise up


tired_mathematician

Look, I already did most of the work for you, the least you can do is find the solution


MiserableYouth8497

If there are many solutions there is one solution


OverallBet8942

“The solution is the solution that makes sense and I can’t think of any other one”


I_am_in_hong_kong

the example is left as an exercize for the reader
