This section studies some first order nonlinear ordinary differential
equations describing the time evolution (or “motion”) of those hamiltonian
systems provided with a first integral linking implicitly both variables to a
motion constant. An application has been performed on the Lotka--Volterra
predator-prey system, turning to a strongly nonlinear differential
equation in the phase variables.

Introduction to Linear Algebra with Mathematica
We illustrate applications of the Adomian decomposition method (ADM for short)
by considering nonlinear system of differential equations with two dependent
variables:
Here L1 and L2
are considered, without loss of generality, first order differential
operators, N1 and N2
are nonlinear operators that do not contain derivatives. In addition
g1(t) and g2(t)
are source terms. Operating with the inverse (integral) operators
L1-1 to the first equation and
L2-1 to the second equation, we reduce the
problem under consideration to a fixed point problem for bounded functions:
To understand how the recurrence is derived, it is convenient to introduce
a grouping parameter (which we denote by λ) and represent the solutions
and nonlinear terms in the form of generating functions, where convergence
play no role:
Of course, we will set λ to 1 in the final answer, but for now we keep
the parameter λ alive. Substituting the generating functions into the
given system of nonlinear equations, we obtain
We present some codes prepared by
J.-S. Duan. The subroutine PSSOL helps to determine multivariable Adomian polynomials. It has six inputs: Init is 2-D table of the initial values Ck,j, Alpha denotes the 3-D table of the coefficients αk,s,j, Be denotes the 1-D table of the coefficients βk of nonlinearities, F denotesthe 1-D table of the nonlinearities fk, G denotesthe 1-D table of the system input gk, and M is a nonnegative integer that determines the degrees of the output Taylor polynomial solutions to be pk + M for the solutions uk(x), 1 &le k ≤ q.
The subroutine NSOL is to find the numerical solution for a nonlnear system of differential equations. It has eight inputs. The first six of them are the same as in the previous routine PSSOL. The last two are the end point X and the step-size h.
