Dear Cyrill, You didn't give very many details of your problem. Therefore I am unsure if my answer will help you or not. >From: Cyrill Slezak [mailto:slezakcy at physik.uni-augsburg.de] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net >Subject: [mg34775] [mg34751] Coupled Differential Equations > >I understand that NDSolve will solve a set of first order coupled. >diff.eqn. >Here is my problem: I have a set of 20+ equation that all have the exact >same structure and I can't seem to find an easy way to input them.

Using the function Table[] is one way to do this: In[1]:= n = 20; eqns = Table[\(v\_k'\)[l] == v\_k[l] + \ Sum[If[kp == k, 0, \(v\_kp'\)[l]], {kp, 1, n}], {k, 1, n}] In[2]:= vars = Table[v\_k[l], {k, 1, n}] In[3]:= DSolve[eqns, vars, l] I used "kp" instead of your "k'". Hope this helps you. Curt Fischer Dept. of Bioengineering Tokyo Institute of Technology
