Questions tagged [finite-duration]

This tag is for questions of Finite-Duration Solutions to Differential Equations, which after an ending time by itself becomes zero forever after. For ordinary functions which have a starting and ending time, see [tag:piecewise-continuity], and if time is not the involved variable, search for [tag:compact-support]. Finite-Duration solution cannot be solutions of Linear ODE, since they fail uniqueness. Synonyms: [tag:finite-time], [tag:time-limited]

Are these equations "properly" defined differential equations? (finite duration solutions to diff. eqs.)

Are these equations properly defined differential equations? Modifications were made to a deleted question to re-focus it. I am trying to find out if there exists any exact/accurate/non-approximated ...
