Hi Yanika,
Depending on whether your problem is an initial value problem or a
boundary value problem, you can find solution methods in R-packages
deSolve (IVP) and bvpSolve (BVP).
The solvers in deSolve only solve differential equations written in
first-order form; bvpSolve can handle higher-order DEs.
For use in deSolve, you need to rewrite the 4th order DE as a set of 4
first-order equations:
d''''y /dt = f(t,y) then becomes:
dy1 = y2; dy2 = y3; dy3 = y4; dy4 = f(t,y)
Hope this helps,
Karline

I need to solve a system of non-linear fourth-order differential
equations. Is there a command which solves this system?
Thanks in advance.
