solving a differential equation

Hi everyone,
I have an equation of the form:
C*dx=-G*x+B or G*x + C*dx - B = 0
How can I solve this?
Dimensions of each matrix are
B = 2000 x 1; C = 2000 x 2000; G = 2000 x 2000; we have 5000 timesteps
also the values of certain rows of the matrix x change with an input waveform at each time step...these rows represent an input voltage
Thanks

G*x + C*dx - B = 0 same as C*x'+G*x-B=0
launch MuPAD
mphandle=mupad
Symbolic toolbox needed.
MuPAD solves your ODE getting the set of functions that satisfy it, regardless of the size of the arrays.
this the general form of the function that satisfies the ODE your proposed. C4 and C5 are additional constants that define a set of functions all complying with your ODE. If you had initial or/and boundary conditions they might help reduce the solutions.

G!=0 means the set of functions that MuPAD resturned is B/G-C4/G*exp(-G*t/C)
x(0)=0 : B/G-C4/G*exp(0)=0 C4=B
then solution to your ODE is: B/G-B/G*exp(-G/C*t)
