Neglect higher order derivatives in expression












4












$begingroup$


Say I have an expression of this sort:



Derivative[5][x1][t]+Derivative[3][x2][t]+x1[t]+Derivative[2][x1][t] 


and so on...



I would like to ask Mathematica to neglext all expressions having derivatives higher than a given order (say N).



What would be a good solution for that?

Derivative[5][x1][t] + Derivative[3][x2][t] + x1[t] + 
Derivative[2][x1][t] /. Derivative[k_][x_][t_] /; k >= 3 :> 0



x1[t] + (x1^[Prime][Prime])[t]




For understanding /; see the documentation of Condition.
