188 LESSON 22. NON-HOMOG. EQS.W/ CONST. COEFF.<br />

has the form<br />

y(t) = Ay H1 (t) + By H2 (t) + y P (t) (22.4)<br />

where y H1 and y H2 are l<strong>in</strong>early <strong>in</strong>dependent solutions of<br />

ay ′′ + by ′ + cy = 0 (22.5)<br />

and y P (t) is a solution of (22.3) that is l<strong>in</strong>early <strong>in</strong>dependent of y H1 and<br />

y H2 . Equation (22.4) is called the general solution of the ODE (22.3).<br />

The two l<strong>in</strong>early <strong>in</strong>dependent solutions of the homogeneous equation are<br />

called a fundamental set of solutions.<br />

General Concept: To solve the general equation with constant coefficients,<br />

we need to f<strong>in</strong>d two l<strong>in</strong>early <strong>in</strong>dependent solutions to the homogeneous<br />

equation as well as a particular solution to the non-homogeneous<br />

solutions.<br />

Theorem 22.3. Subtraction Pr<strong>in</strong>ciple. If y P 1 (t) and y P 2 (t) are two<br />

different particular solutions of<br />

then<br />

is a solution of the homogeneous equationLy = 0.<br />

Proof. S<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

Then<br />

Hence y H given by (22.7) satisfies Ly H = 0.<br />

Ly = f(t) (22.6)<br />

y H (t) = y P 1 (t) − y P 2 (t) (22.7)<br />

Ly P 1 = f(t) (22.8)<br />

Ly P 2 = f(t) (22.9)<br />

L(y P 1 − y P 2 ) = Ly P 1 − Ly P 2 (22.10)<br />

Theorem 22.4. The l<strong>in</strong>ear differential operator<br />

can be factored as<br />

= f(t) − f(t) (22.11)<br />

= 0 (22.12)<br />

Ly = aD 2 y + bDy + cy (22.13)<br />

Ly = (aD 2 + bD + c)y = a(D − r 1 )(D − r 2 )y (22.14)
