Cutting Down Trees to Solve ODEs
Abstract:
We show how to express the solution to an ordinary differential equation as a sum over rooted trees, discover a group structure on the set of rooted trees, extend it to a Hopf algebra related to quantum renormalization, and finally bring ourselves back down to Earth and derive the coefficients used in Runge-Kutta integrators.
