From Ordinary Differential Equations to Structural Causal Models: the deterministic case
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how, and under which conditions, the equilibrium states of a first-order Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) system can be described with a deterministic Structural Causal Model (SCM). Our exposition sheds more light on the concept of causality as expressed within the framework of Structural Causal Models, especially for cyclic models.

From Random Differential Equations to Structural Causal Models: the stochastic case
Random Differential Equations provide a natural extension of Ordinary Differential Equations to the stochastic setting. We show how, and under which conditions, every equilibrium state of a Random Differential Equation (RDE) can be described by a Structural Causal Model (SCM), while pertaining the causal semantics. This provides an SCM that captures the stochastic and causal behavior of the RDE...
متن کاملFrom Deterministic ODEs to Dynamic Structural Causal Models
We show how, under certain conditions, the asymptotic behaviour of an Ordinary Differential Equation under non-constant interventions can be modelled using Dynamic Structural Causal Models. In contrast to earlier work, we study not only the effect of interventions on equilibrium states; rather, we model asymptotic behaviour that is dynamic under interventions that vary in time, and include as a...
متن کاملViewing Some Ordinary Differential Equations from the Angle of Derivative Polynomials
In the paper, the authors view some ordinary differential equations and their solutions from the angle of (the generalized) derivative polynomials and simplify some known identities for the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, the Frobenius-Euler polynomials, the Euler numbers and polynomials, in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds.
متن کاملSet Differential Equations with Causal Operators
Differential equations involving causal operators have gained much attention of late and some results are assembled in a recent monograph [1]. The term causal is adopted from the engineering literature. Basically, a causal operator is a nonanticipative operator. The theory of these operators has the powerful quality of unifying ordinary differential equations, integrodifferential equations, dif...
متن کاملStochastic differential equation models in biology
Introduction This chapter is concerned with continuous time processes, which are often modeled as a system of ordinary differential equations. These models assume that the observed dynamics are driven exclusively by internal, deterministic mechanisms. However, real biological systems will always be exposed to influences that are not completely understood or not feasible to model explicitly, and...
