Solves an nth order, homogeneous linear differential equation with solutions in numeric form.
Vector of coefficients of the different derivatives of a function x(t), starting with the coefficient of the lowest order term. The node assumes the coefficient of the highest order derivative to be equal to 1.
Vector of the initial values of the variables.
The components of initial values correspond to the components of x.
Start time for solving the differential equations.
Default: 0
End time for solving the differential equations.
Default: 1
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Interval, in seconds, between the times at which this node evaluates the model and updates the model output.
Default: 0.1
Points of time at which the node solves the differential equations. The method yields equidistant time steps between start time and end time.
Values of the variables over time. Each row of x contains the values evaluated at a particular time and each column contains a history of a particular value over time.
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

To solve the differential equation, let , leading to:
where are arbitrary constants and can be determined by the initial condition (t = 0).
When t = 0,
To solve the differential equation x'' - 3x' + 2x = 0 with the initial conditions of x(0) = 2 and x'(0) = 3, enter A = [2, -3] and initial values = [2, 3].
