Advanced Math Solutions - Ordinary Differential Equations Calculator, Linear ODE Ordinary differential equations can be a little tricky. In a previous post, we talked about a brief overview of Nonhomogeneous PDE Problems 22.1 Eigenfunction Expansions of Solutions Let us complicate our problems a little bit by replacing the homogeneous partial differential equation, X jk a jk ?2u ?xk?xj + X l b l ?u ?xl + cu = 0 , with a corresponding nonhomogeneous partial differential equation, X jk a jk ?2u ?xk?xj + X l b l ?u We're now ready to solve non-homogeneous second-order linear differential equations with constant coefficients. So what does all that mean? Well, it means an equation that looks like this. A times the second derivative plus B times the first derivative plus C times the function is equal to g of x green's functions and nonhomogeneous problems 227 7.1 Initial Value Green's Functions In this section we will investigate the solution of initial value prob-lems involving nonhomogeneous differential equations using Green's func- Exact equations always have a potential function , and this function is not di cult to compute|we only need to integrate Eq. (1.4.4). Having a potential function of an exact equation is essentially the same as solving the di erential equation, since the integral curves of de ne implicit solutions of the di erential equation.

Since a homogeneous equation is easier to solve compares to its nonhomogeneous counterpart, we start with second order linear homogeneous equations that contain constant coefficients only: a y? + b y? + c y = 0. Where a, b, and c are constants, a ? 0. 4 Solving Non-Homogeneous Second Order Lin- ear Equations with Undetermined Coefficients A non-homogeneous second order linear differential equation is defined as ay 00 + by 0 + cy = g(x) Where g(x) is a function that is given with the problem and a, b, and c are real constants. Nonhomogeneous Linear Systems of Di?erential Equations with Constant Coe?cients Objective: Solve d~x dt = A~x +~f(t), where A is an n?n constant coe?cient matrix A and~f(t) = Section 1: Theory 3 1. Theory M(x,y) = 3x2 + xy is a homogeneous function since the sum of the powers of x and y in each term is the same (i.e. x2 is x to power 2 and xy = x1y1 giving total power of 1+1 = 2). The degree of this homogeneous function is 2. Second Order Linear Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations; Method of Undetermined Coefficients We will now turn our attention to nonhomogeneous second order linear equations, equations with the standard form y? + p(t) y? + q(t) y = g(t), g(t) ? 0.

A linear differential equation can be represented as a linear operator acting on y(x) where x is u
