Ordinary Differential Equations

To avoid a frequent initial confusion for new readers, it may be helpful to point out that there are two common ways in which probabilistic methods are used in combination with ordinary differential equations: The “classic” problem of numerics is to infer the solution to an initial value problem given access to the differential equation. Below, we term this problem “solving ODEs”. The reverse problem, in some sense, has also found interest in machine learning: inferring a differential equation from (noisy) observations of trajectories that are assumed to be governed by this ODE. Below, this is listed under “inferring ODEs”.
