Picard's method does not solve first order differential equation?
I have the following first order differential equation
$$x^\prime(t)=-(x(t))^2+2x(t),\quad t\geq 0,\quad x(0)=1$$
Now I want to obtain an approximation of $x(t)$ by using Picard's method. Then the ...

Definition of $\operatorname{Pic}^0(V)$ for $V$ a singular variety
How does one define the $\operatorname{Pic}^0(V)$ for $V$ being a singular, not necessarily normal variety?
Until now the approach I found by searching Google is to prove that the Picard functor is ...

Is the Picard group computable by a computer algebra system?
My question is, as the title suggests:
Given the defining ideal of a variety $X$ (over $\mathbb C$), can we compute $Pic(X)$ with a computer algebra system?
Even if the answer is no in general, are ...

Convergence of the Picard sequence
Consider the Cauchy problem
$$
\begin{cases}
y'= \cos(y)=f(x,y)\\
y(0)=0
\end{cases}
$$
The question is: Does the Picard sequence converge?
My attempt: We have that
$y_0=0$, $y_1(x)= x$, $y_2(x)=...
