Initial Value Problem:

An initial value problem is essentially a type of integration problem. If you are given a derivative and an initial value of its integral function, you can solve the value of the constant of integration. In this way, initial value problems yield a particular solution for a given derivative instead of a general solution. Initial conditions need not be set at zero; they have to have a definite value.
