initial condition [i`nish·ǝl kǝn`dish·ǝn] COMPUTER SCIENCE See <<entry condition>> METEOROLOGY A prescription of the state of a dynamical system at some specified time; for all subsequent times the equations of motion and boundary conditions determine the state of the system; the appropriate synoptic weather charts, for example, constitute a (discrete) set of initial conditions for a forecast; in many contexts, initial conditions are considered as boundary conditions in the dimension of time. |
