Implicit function
In mathematics, an implicit equation is a relation of the form R(x_1, \dots, x_n) = 0, where is a function of several variables (often a polynomial). For example, the implicit equation of the unit circle is x^2 + y^2 - 1 = 0.

Implicit curve
In mathematics, an implicit curve is a plane curve defined by an implicit equation relating two coordinate variables, commonly ''x'' and ''y''. For example, the unit circle is defined by the implicit equation x^2+y^2=1. In general, every implic ...

Implicit surface
In mathematics, an implicit surface is a surface in Euclidean space defined by an equation
: F(x,y,z)=0.
An ''implicit surface'' is the set of zeros of a function of three variables. ''Implicit'' means that the equation is not solved for o ...

Implicit differential equation
In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation whose unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function(s) of one variable and involves the derivatives of those functions. The term ''ordinary'' is used in contrast ...
