Abstract
In ordinary differential equations (ODEs), dependent variables (such as temperature, concentration, etc.) vary with only one independent variable (a spatial variable or time). In this way, all lumped-parameter problems in a transient regime, as well as all distributed-parameter problems in a steady state varying by just one of the three spatial variables, are described by ODEs.
