12 SEPARABLE ODEs p x It is called separable because: dy p x q y 0 dx q y dy p x dx 0 q y y Separable ODEs are very easy to solve: integral equation with variables x and y separated by equal sign 1. Separate x s and y s to different sides. Integrate the y-side with respect to y and the x-side with respect to x 3. Solve for initial condition y(t 0 ) if ased to do so AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS are governed by separable equations: dy dt f y

Solve the corresponding homogenous system: three cases can arise -- two different real roots -- repeated real roots -- complex roots y t c y t c y t. Find one particular solution to the non-homogenous system that is Not included in the family of solutions to the homogenous system: 1 1 such that Y t py t qy t ry t g t Method of undetermined coefficients: This method is used when g(t) is a function composed of sines, cosines, exponentials, and/or polynomials (their sums and products). h.

19 4 POWERFUL THEOREMS Existence & uniqueness (tae for granted) Say we have a linear second order ODE y q t y r t y s t, where q t, r t, s t are continuous on interval t. Then there is exactly one solution t to the initial value problem y t y, y t y and the solution exists for all t in the interval t Principle of superposition y1t yt 0, then the linear combination If and are two solutions of the homogenous ODE p t y q t y r t y c y t c y t is also a solution for any values of the constants c and c

20 4 POWERFUL THEOREMS CONTINUED Family encompassing all solutions t0 W y1 t0 y t0 y 1 t0 y t0 y t c y t c y t If y t and y t are two solutions of p t y q t y r t y 0, 1 and if there is a point at which the Wronsian - is non-zero, then the family of solutions 1 1 with arbitrary coefficients c and c includes every solution. 1 Non-homogenous solution form The general solution of a linear second order non-homogenous ODE can be written Y t is som i n the form y t c y t c y t Y t, where c y t c y t is the solution to the corresponding homogenous equation, and that satisfies the non-homogenous equation. e particular solution

21 Linear second order homogenous ODE with constant coefficients py qy ry 0 We guessed a form of solution: y exp at y a exp at ; y a exp at exp py qy ry pa qa r at We need to solve a quadratic equation for a: a We recognized three cases: q q 4 pr p 1 1 exp exp Case 1: 4 0 exp and exp q pr y t a t y t a t y t c y t c y t c a t c a t exp exp Case : 4 0 exp and exp q pr y t a t y t ty t t a t y t c y t c y t c a t c t a t Case 3: q 4 pr 0 q 4pr q 4pr q y t exp t c1cos t csin t p p p

22 Wronsian, linear independence, and satisfying initial conditions y1t yt Say that and are two solutions of the homogenous ODE p t y q t y r t y 0. c y0 c1 y1 t0 c y t0 y c y t + c y t Given initial conditions y t = y and y t = y are satisfied? We have: + y0 y t0 y 0 y t0 y t y t y t y t c y0 y 1 t0 y 0 y1 t0 y t y t y t y t WRONSKIAN If the WRONSKIAN of the initial condition is non-zero, then c and 1 t y t y can be chosen so that to satisfy the initial conditions, and,. c WHAT DOES NON-ZERO WRONSKIAN MEAN? If f t and g t are differentiable functions on an open interval a t b, and if Wronsian W f t g t - f t g t is non-zero for some a t b, then f t and g t are linearly independent on a t b.

23 THE METHOD OF UNDETERMINED COEFFICIENTS py t qy t ry t g t We want to find one particular solution to the non-homogenous system that is not included in the family of solutions to the homogenous system; -- if g(t) = g 1 (t) + g (t) + + g n (t), form n sub-problems, and solve each separately. You then add the separate solutions together. -- Assume the initial form of the solution (with free parameters A, B, C, ) consistent with the form of g i (t). -- If the assumed form fits the solution of the homogenous system, multiply the form of the solution by t; if that still fits the homogenous solution, multiply by t ;

28 Upgrading to variable coefficients p t y t q t y t r t y t g t THE 4 THEOREMS STILL APPLY: Existence & uniqueness (tae for granted; hard to prove) Say we have a linear second order ODE y q t y r t y s t, where q t, r t, s t are continuous on interval t. Then there is exactly one solution t to the initial value problem y t y, y t y and the solution exists for all t in the interval t Principle of superposition (easy to prove) y1t yt 0, then the linear combination If and are two solutions of the homogenous ODE p t y q t y r t y c y t c y t is also a solution for any values of the constants c and c

29 4 THEOREMS CONTINUED Family encompassing all solutions (relatively easy to prove) t0 W y1 t0 y t0 y 1 t0 y t0 y t c y t c y t If y t and y t are two solutions of p t y q t y r t y 0, 1 and if there is a point at which the Wronsian - is non-zero, then the family of solutions Non-homogenous solution form (easy to prove) 1 1 with arbitrary coefficients c and c includes every solution. 1 The general solution of a linear second order non-homogenous ODE can be written Y t is som i n the form y t c y t c y t Y t, where c y t c y t is the solution to the corresponding homogenous equation, and that satisfies the non-homogenous equation. e particular solution So again, we have to solve the homogeneous equation first (Don t worry about non-homogeneous with these)

30 Second order linear ODE with polynomial coefficients P t y t Q t yt R t y t G t where: P t Q t R t = polynomial of t = polynomial of t polynomial of t We will see analytical solutions (written as a power series around point t ): y t a t t 0 0 Important example series - Taylor series: 0 t0 f y t t t! 0 0

31 Convergence of power series A power series around x, a x x converges at a given x if lim a x x0 a finite number. Otherwise, the series diverges at x. 0 INTERVAL and RADIUS OF CONVERGENCE: Every power series has an interval of numbers for which the series converges There is a non-negative number called the radius of convergence such that 0 a x x converges for x x x and diverges elsewhere

32 Ways to determine convergence radius Given a power series L= x x lim when when 0 a a 1 0 a x x 0, compute L 1, the series converges at a given x when L 1, the series diverges at a given x L 1, the test is inconclusive The radius of convergence for each of the series solutions is at least as large q t r t as the minimum of radii of convergence of the series and. p t p t 0 0 qt pt qt e of pt t p t If p t and q t are polynomials, then has a convergent power series around t if p t 0. Further, if we assume that any factors common to p t and q t have been cancelled, then the radius of convergenc 0 This can be hard to compute It is easier (& sufficient for exam) to find the bound around is preciselly the distance of to the nearest zero of (including complex zeros). t 0

33 EXAMPLE OF POWER SERIES SOLUTION Solve t 1 y 4ty 6y 0 using power series around t t0 0 LOWER BOUND ON CONVERGENCE RADIUS = 1 We see solution of the form y t a t t a t y t a t y t a t We plug into our differential equation t 1 1 a t 4t a t 6 a t 0 First we absorb terms into the series 1 at 1 at 4at 6at WE WANT THE SAME POWERS shift indices at a t at at

36 Is there always a power series solution around t=t 0 to the second order linear ODE? 0 p t y t q t y t r t y t 0 The answer is YES when t 0 is an ORDINARY POINT The answer is NO when t 0 is a SINGULAR POINT qt p t r t p t A point t is said to be an ORDINARY POINT if and are analytic around t t. If p t, q t, r t are polynomials, then this means p t 0. 0 qt r t y t yt y t p t p t qt p t r t p t A point t is said to be an SINGULAR POINT if and are not analytic around t t. If p t, q t, r t are polynomials, then this means p t =0. 0 0
