Hi, you must try to formulate your problem as simply a s possible. If your consider f[x+y] then you should introduce a new variable z=x+y and formulate your problem in terms of the one variable function f[z]. If you would give a simple example of your problem, you may get more specific answers. hope this helps, Daniel petterbe at gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > I have a differential equation were the function F[.] depends on > several varibles,x,y,z.
