| Differential equations can be divided into several types. Apart from describing the properties of the equation itself, these classes of differential equations can help inform the choice of approach to a solution. Commonly used distinctions include whether the equation is: Ordinary/Partial, Linear/Non-linear, and Homogeneous/heterogeneous. This list is far from exhaustive; there are many other properties and subclasses of differential equations which can be very useful in specific contexts. | | Differential equations can be divided into several types.

| An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is an equation containing an unknown function of one real or complex variable , its derivatives, and some given functions of . The unknown function is generally represented by a variable (often denoted {{mvar|y}}), which, therefore, depends on {{mvar|x}}. Thus {{mvar|x}} is often called the independent variable of the equation. The term "ordinary" is used in contrast with the term partial differential equation, which may be with respect to more than one independent variable. | | An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is an equation containing an unknown function of one real or complex variable , its derivatives, and some given functions of .

| A non-linear differential equation is a differential equation that is not a linear equation in the unknown function and its derivatives (the linearity or non-linearity in the arguments of the function are not considered here). There are very few methods of solving nonlinear differential equations exactly; those that are known typically depend on the equation having particular symmetries. Nonlinear differential equations can exhibit very complicated behavior over extended time intervals, characteristic of chaos. Even the fundamental questions of existence, uniqueness, and extendability of solutions for nonlinear differential equations, and well-posedness of initial and boundary value problems for nonlinear PDEs are hard problems and their resolution in special cases is considered to be a significant advance in the mathematical theory (cf. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness). However, if the differential equation is a correctly formulated representation of a meaningful physical process, then one expects it to have a solution. | | A non-linear differential equation is a differential equation that is not a linear equation in the unknown function and its derivatives (the linearity or non-linearity in the arguments of the function are not considered here).

− | 非线性微分方程是微分方程的一种,但它不是关于未知函数及其导数的线性方程(这里不考虑函数论元中的线性或非线性)。能够精确求解非线性微分方程的方法很少; 那些已有的方法通常依赖于方程具有特定的对称性。非线性微分方程在更长的时间段内表现出非常复杂的行为,具有混沌特性。即使是非线性微分方程解的存在性、唯一性和可扩展性等基本问题,以及非线性偏微分方程初边值问题的适定性问题,也是一个难题(查阅,纳维-斯托克斯方程的存在性和光滑性)。然而,如果微分方程是一个有意义物理过程的正确表述,那么人们期望它有一个解析解。 | + | 非线性微分方程是微分方程的一种,但它不是关于未知函数及其导数的线性方程(这里不考虑函数论元中的线性或非线性)。能够精确求解非线性微分方程的方法很少; 那些已有的方法通常依赖于方程具有某种特定的对称性。非线性微分方程在更长的时间段内表现出非常复杂的行为,具有混沌特性。即使是非线性微分方程解的存在性、唯一性和可扩展性等基本问题,以及非线性偏微分方程初边值问题的适定性问题,也是一个难题(查阅,纳维-斯托克斯方程的存在性和光滑性)。然而,如果微分方程是一个有意义物理过程的正确表述,那么人们期望它有一个解析解。 |

For example, the harmonic oscillator equation is an approximation to the nonlinear pendulum equation that is valid for small amplitude oscillations (see below). | | Linear differential equations frequently appear as [[linearization|approximations]] to nonlinear equations.
