1 Power Series Solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations James K. Peterson Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Mathematical Sciences Clemson University December 4, 2017 Outline Power Series Solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations A Constant Coefficient Example
2 You all probably know how to solve ordinary differential equations like y + 3y + 4y = 0 which is an example of a linear second order differential equation with constant coefficients. To find a solution we find twice differentiable function y(x) which satisfies the given dynamics. But what about a model like x y + 4x 2 y + 5y = 0 or y + 3xy + 6x 3 y = 0? The coefficients here are not constants; they are polynomial functions of the independent variable x. You don t usually see how to solve such equations in your first course in ordinary differential equations. In this course, we have learned more of the requisite analysis that enables us to understand what to do. However, the full proofs of some of our assertions will elude us as there are still theorems in this area that we do not have the background to prove. These details can be found in older books such as E. Ince, Ordinary Differential Equations from We are going to solve such models such as p(x) y + q(x)y + r(x)y = 0 y(x0) = y0, y (x0) = y1 using a power series solution given by y(x) = an(x x0)n. We must use a powerful theorem from Ince s text: Theorem Let p(x) y + q(x)y + r(x)y = 0 be a given differential equation where p(x), q(x) and r(x) are polynomials in x. We say a is an ordinary point of this equation if p(a) 0 and otherwise, we say a is a singular point. The solution to this equation is y(x) = an(x a)n at any ordinary point a and the radius of convergence R of this solution satisfies R = d where d is the distance from a to the nearest root of the coefficient polynomial functions p.
3 Comment In general, d is the distance to the nearest singularity of the coefficient functions whose definition is more technical than being a root of a polynomial if the coefficient functions were not polynomials. Proof Chapter 5 and Chapter 15 in Ince discusses the necessary background to study n th order ordinary differential equations of the form w (n) + p1(z) w (n 1) +... pn 1(z)w (1) + pn(z) w = 0 w (i) (z0) = zi, 0 i n 1 where w(z) is a function of the complex variable z = x + i y in the complex plane C. To understand this sort of equation, you must study what is called functions of a complex variable. Each complex coefficient function is assumed to be analytic at z0 which means we can write Proof p1(z) = p2(z) = ak 1 (z z0) k ak 2 (z z0) k. =. pi(z) = ak i (z z0) k. =. pn(z) = ak n (z z0) k where each of these power series converge in the ball in the complex plane centered at z0 of raidus ri.
4 Proof Hence, there is a smallest radius r = min{r1,..., rn} for which they all converge. In the past, we have studied convergence of power series in a real variable x x0 and the radius of convergence of such a series give an interval of convergence (r x0, r + x0). Here, the interval of convergence becomes a circle in the complex plane z0 = x0 + i y0. Br (z0) = {z = x + i y : (x x0) 2 + (y y0) 2 < r} However, the coefficient functions need not be so nice. They need not be analysic at the point z0. A more general class of coefficient function are those whose power series expansions have a more general form at a given point ζ. A point ζ is called a regular singular point of this equation is each of the coefficient function pi can be written as pi(z) = (z ζ) i Pi(z) where P is analytic at ζ. Thus, if ζ = 0 was a regular singular point we could write Pi(z) = bizk and have Proof p1(z) = 1 z P1(z) = 1 bk 1 z k z p2(z) = 1 z 2 P2(z) = 1 z 2 bk 2 z k. =. pi(z) = 1 z i Pi(z) = 1 z i bk i z k. =. pn(z) = 1 z n Pn(z) = 1 z i b n k z k Now our model converted to the complex plane is p(z) y + q(z)y + r(z)y = 0 which can be rewritten as
5 Proof Thus p1(z) = q(z) p(z) y + q(z) p(z) y + r(z) p(z) y = 0. and p2(z) = r(z) p(z). Let s consider an example: say p(z) = z, q(z) = 2z 2 + 4z 3 and r(z) = z + 2. Then p1(z) = 2z2 +4z 3 z regular singular point. and p2(z) = z+2 z = z2 +2z z 2 and so z = 0 is a Note if p(z) = z 2, the root of p occurs with multiciplicty two and the requirements of a regular singular point are not met. Note the zero of p(z) here is just z = 0 and so we can solve this equation at a point like z = 1 as a power series expansion y(z) = ak(z 1)k and the radius of convergence R = 1 as that is the distance to the zero z = 0 of p(z). Proof The proof that the radius of convergence is the R mentioned is a bit complicated and is done in Chapter 16 of Ince. Once you have taken a nice course in complex variable theory it should be accessible. So when you get a chance, look it up!
6 Example Solve the model y + y = 0 using power series methods. The coefficient functions here are constants, so the power series solution can be computed at any point a and the radius of convergence will be R =. Let s find a solution as a = 0. We assume y(x) = anx n. From our study of power series, we know the first and second derived series have the same radius of convergence and differentiation can be done term by term. Thus, y = y = nanx n 1 n=1 n(n 1)anx n 2 n=2 The model we need to solve then becomes n(n 1)anx n 2 + anx n = 0 n=2 The powers of x in the series have different indices. Change summation variables in the first one to get k = n 2 = n(n 1)anx n 2 = (k + 2)(k + 1)ak+2x k n=2 as k = n 2 tells us n = k + 2 and n 1 = k + 1. Since the choice of summation variable does not matter, relabel the k above back to an n to get (k + 2)(k + 1)ak+2x k = (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2x n
7 The series problem to solve is then (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2x n + anx n = 0 Hence, we have, for all x {(n + 2)(n + 1)an+2 + an}x n = 0 The only way this can be true is if each of the coefficients of x n vanish. This gives us what is called a recursion relation the coefficients must satisfy. For all n 0, we have an (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2 + an = 0 = an+2 = (n + 2)(n + 1) By direct calculation, we find (1) a2 = a0 1 2 a3 = a1 2 3 = a1 ( 3! a4 = a2 3 4 = 1 a5 = a3 4 5 = a1. 5! a0 1 2 ) = a = a2 4! In general, it is impossible to detect a pattern in these coefficients, but here we can find a pattern easily. We see We have found the solution is y(x) = a0 + a1x + a0 ( 1) 2 x 2 a2k = ( 1) k (2k)! a0 a2k+1 = ( 1) k (2k + 1)! a1 2! + x 3 a1( 1)3 3! + x 4 a0( 1)4 4! + x 5 a1( 1)5 5! +
8 Define two new series by y0(x) = 1 + ( 1) 2 x ( 1) k x 2k 2! (2k)! + y1(x) = x + ( 1) 3 x 3 3! + + a1( 1) k x 2k+1 (2k + 1)! + It is easy to prove that for any convergent series, α anx n = αanx n. The series 2n x ( 1)2n (2n)!) and 2n+1 x ( 1)2n+1 (2n+1)!) converge for all x by the ratio test, so we can write the solution y(x) as y(x) = a0 ( 1) 2n x 2n (2n)!) + a1 ( 1) 2n+1 x 2n+1 (2n + 1)!) = a0 y0(x) + a1 y1(x) Since the power series for y0 and y1 converge on R, we also know how to compute their derived series to get y 0(x) = y 1(x) = ( 1) 2n (2n) x 2n 1 (2n)!) n=1 ( 1) 2n+1 x 2n (2n + 1) (2n + 1)!)
9 Next, note y0(x) and y1(x) are linearly independent on R as if then we also have c0 y0(x) + c1 y1(x) = 0, x c0 y 0(x) + c1 y 1(x) = 0, x Since these equations must hold for all x, in particular they hold for x = 0 giving c0 y0(0) + c1 y1(0) = c0(1) + c1(0) = 0 c0 y 0(0) + c1 y 1(0) = c0 (0) + c1 (1) = 0 In matrix - vector form this become [ ] [ ] 1 0 c0 0 1 c1 = [ 0 0] The determinant of the coefficient matrix of this linear system is positive and so the only solution is c0 = c1 = 0 implying these functions are linearly independent on R. Note y0 is the solution to the problem and y1 solves y + y = 0, y(0) = 1, y (0) = 0 y + y = 0, y(0) = 0, y (0) = 1 As usual the solution to y + y = 0, y(0) = α, y (0) = β is the linear combination of the two linearly independent solutions y0 and y1 gving y(x) = αy0(x) + βy1(x) Of course, from earier courses and our understanding of the Taylor Series expansions of cos(x) and sin(x), we also know y0(x) = cos(x) and y1(x) = sin(x). The point of this example, is that we can do a similar analysis for the more general problem with polynomial coefficients.
10 Example Solve the model y + 6y + 9y = 0 using power series methods. Again, the coefficient functions here are constants, so the power series solution can be computed at any point a and the radius of convergence will be R =. Let s find a solution at a = 0. We assume y(x) = anx n. Thus, y = y = nanx n 1 n=1 n(n 1)anx n 2 n=2 The model we need to solve then becomes n(n 1)anx n nanx n anx n = 0 n=2 n=1 The powers of x in the series have different indices. We change the summation variables in both derivative terms to get k = n 1 = k = n 2 = nanx n 1 = (k + 1)ak+1x k n=1 n(n 1)anx n 2 = (k + 2)(k + 1)ak+2x k n=2 Since the choice of summation variable does not matter, relabel the k above back to an n to get (k + 1)ak+1x k = (k + 2)(k + 1)ak+2x k = The series problem to solve is then (n + 1)an+1x n (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2x n (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2x n + 6 (n + 1)an+1x n + 9 anx n = 0
11 Hence, we have, for all x {(n + 2)(n + 1)an+2 + 6(n + 1)an an}x n = 0 The only way this can be true is if each of the coefficients of x n vanish. This gives us what is called a recursion relation the coefficients must satisfy. For all n 0, we have 6(n + 1)an+1 + 9an (n + 2)(n + 1)an+2 + 6(n + 1)an an = 0 = an+2 = (n + 2)(n + 1) By direct calculation, we find 6a1 + 9a0 a2 = = 3a a0 6(2)a2 + 9a1 a3 = = 2a a1 = 2 ( 3a1 92 ) a0 3 2 a1 = 6a1 + 9a0 3 2 a1 = 9a a1 6(3)a3 + 9a2 a4 = = a3 3 4 a2 = 3 (9a ) 2 a1 3 ( 3a1 92 ) 4 a0 = 27 4 a a a a0 = 9 2 a a0 We have found the solution is y(x) = a0 + a1x + ( 3a1 92 ) a0 x 2 + (9a ) a1 x 3 + ( 92 a1 818 ) a0 x 4 + Define two new series by y0(x) = x 2 + 9x x 4 + y1(x) = x 3x x x 4 +
12 Hence, we can write the solution as y(x) = a0 {1 9 2 x 2 9x x 4 + } + a1{x 3x x x 4 + } = a0 y0(x) + a1 y1(x) Our theorem guarantees that the solution y(x) converges in R, so the series y0 we get setting a0 = 1 and a1 = 0 converges too. Setting a0 = 0 and a1 = 1 then shows y1 converges. Since the power series for y0 and y1 converge on R, we also know how to compute their derived series to get y 0(x) = 9x + 27x x 3 + y 1(x) = 1 6x x 2 18x 3 + Next, note y0(x) and y1(x) are linearly independent on R as if then we also have c0 y0(x) + c1 y1(x) = 0, x c0 y 0(x) + c1 y 1(x) = 0, x Since these equations must hold for all x, in particular they hold for x = 0 giving c0 y0(0) + c1 y1(0) = c0(1) + c1(0) = 0 c0 y 0(0) + c1 y 1(0) = c0 (0) + c1 (1) = 0 which tells us c0 = c1 = 0 implying these functions are linearly independent on R.
13 Note y0 is the solution to the problem y + 6y + 9y = 0, y(0) = 1, y (0) = 0 The general solution is y(x) = Ae 3x + Bxe 3x and for these initial conditions, we find A = 1 and B = 3 giving y0(x) = (1 + 3x)e 3x. Using the Taylor Series expansion of e 3x, we find ( ) y 3x + 3x e 3x = 1 3x x x 3 + ( +3x 1 3x x 2 27 ) 6 x 3 + ( ) 9 = 1 + (3x 3x)x x 2 + = x 2 9x 3 + which is the series we found using the power series method! ( ) x 3 + Then y1 solves y + 6y + 9y = 0, y(0) = 0, y (0) = 1 The general solution is y(x) = Ae 3x + Bxe 3x and for these initial conditions, we find A = 0 and B = 1 giving y1(x) = x e 3x. Using the Taylor Series expansion of e 3x, we find ( x e 3x = x 1 3x x 2 27 ) 6 x 3 + = x 3x x x 4 which is the series we found using the power series method! As usual the solution to y + 6y + 9y = 0, y(0) = α, y (0) = β is the linear combination of the two linearly independent solutions y0 and y1 gving y(x) = αy0(x) + βy1(x)
