title: Characteristic equation (calculus)
text: In mathematics, the characteristic equation is an algebraic equation of degree n upon which depends the solution of a given nth-order differential equation or difference equation. The characteristic equation can only be formed when the differential or difference equation is linear and homogeneous, and has constant coefficients. Such a differential equation, with y as the dependent variable, superscript (n) denoting nth-derivative, and an, an − 1,..., a1, a0 as constants, - a n y + a n − 1 y +
