196 CHAPTER 10. APPENDIX ON ANALYTIC METHODS (MATH 280 IN A NUTSHELL) General Non-homogeneous Linear Equation with Constant Coefficients To solve ay ′′ + by ′ + cy = f(t) where a, b, c are constants for a general function f(t), the solution is ∫ ∫ ∫ y = Ae r1t + Be r 1t e r 2−r 1 sds + er 1t e r 2−r 1 s e −r2u f(u)duds a t where r 1 and r 2 are the roots of ar 2 + br + c = 0. An alternative method is to factor the equation into the form and make the substitution (D − r 1 )(D − r 2 )y = f(t) z = (D − r 2 )y This reduces the second order equation in y to a first order linear equation in z. Solve the equation (D − r 1 )z = f(t) for z, then solve the equation for y once z is known. Method of Reduction of Order (D − r 2 )y = z If one solution y 1 is known for the differential equation y ′′ + p(t)y ′ + q(t)y = 0 then a second solution is given by ∫ W (y1 , y 2 ))(t) y 2 (t) = y 1 (t) y 1 (t) 2 dt where the Wronskian is given by Abel’s formula ( ∫ W (y 1 , y 2 )(t) = Cexp − t s ) p(s)ds Method of Variation of Parameters To find a particular solution to y ′′ + p(t)y ′ + q(t)y = r(t) when a pair of linearly independent solutions to the homogeneous equation are already known, ∫ y p = −y 1 (t) t y ′′ + p(t)y ′ + q(t)y = 0 ∫ y 2 (s)r(s) W (y 1 , y 2 )(s) ds + y y 1 (s)r(s) 2(t) t W (y 1 , y 2 )(s) ds Math 582B, Spring 2007 California State University Northridge c○2007, B.E.Shapiro Last revised: May 23, 2007
