3 Chapter 3 Second Order Linear Equations Two important areas of application of 2nd order linear equations are in the fields of mechanical and electrical oscillations. Example Mechanical system of spring. l l + L m KL mg gravitational force: F g = mg m: mass of the ball, g acceleration due to gravity. Spring force (Hooke s Law): F s = kl L: displacement. k: spring constant. Hooke s Law: Spring force is proportional to the displacement of the spring (L). The direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the motion. when the ball is in equilibrium, mg = kl, k = mg L. 2

4 l still l + L l + L + u(t) m still m vibrated u(t) F s F g = mg Newton s Law of motion (neglect damping or resistive force such as air resistance) Suppose the spring is stretched by a displacement of.l and released later. l: original length of the spring. L: displacement of the spring caused by gravity in still state. u(t): displacement caused by vibration. F g = mg: gravity force. F s = k(l + u(t)): elastic force. Choose the downward direction as positive direction, that is, u(t) is positive, when the spring is stretched. F = ma, a = d2 u dt = u (t) mu (t) = mg k(l + u(t)): downward direction is positive, so mg has a positive sign. No matter what we choose as the positive direction, the elastic force is always opposite to direction of u(t), its sign is always negative. mg = kl, k = mg : see the second graph, when the spring is still, it is obvious mg = kl. L mu = mg mg (L + u), L u = g L u u() =.L, v = u () = : initial condition. 3

5 u = g L u u() =.L u () = Generally speaking, 2nd order DE: 2nd order linear DE: d 2 y dy = f(x, y, dx2 dx ) y + p(x)y + q(x)y = g(x) y(x ) = y y (x ) = y 3. Second Order linear homogeneous equations with constant coefficients Example : y = y Possible solutions: e x, e x, C e x, C 2 e x ; General solution y = C e x + C 2 e x. ay + by + cy = (a ) For ay + by + cy =, seek for solution in form y = e rx, r to be determined. (ar 2 + br + c)e rx = ar 2 + br + c = r,2 = b ± b 2 4ac 2a (characteristic equation) If b 2 4ac >, then r, r 2 real and different, then e r x and e r 2x are two different solutions. y = C e r x + C 2 e r 2x C and C 2 can be determined by y(x ) = y, y (x ) = y. Ex. y + 4y + 3y =, y() = 2, y () = r 2 + 4r + 3 = (r + 3)(r + ) = r = 3, r = y(x) = C e 3x + C 2 e x 4

6 y() = C e + C 2 e = C + C 2 = 2 y (x) = 3C e 3x C 2 e x y () = 3C C 2 = C = 2, C 2 = 5 2 y(x) = 2 e 3x e x Ex 2. Find the general solution of 2y 3y + y = 2r 2 3r + = (r 2)(r ) = r = 2 r = y(x) = C e 2x + C 2 e x Ex 3. y = 9.8y, y() =., y () = r = r = ± 9.8 y(x) = C e 9.8x + C 2 e 9.8x x,. y, C + C 2 =. y (x) = 9.8C e 9.8x 9.8C 2 e 9.8x x, y, 9.8C 9.8C 2 = C = C 2 =.5 y(x) =.5e 9.8x +.5e 9.8x 3.2 Solutions of Linear Homogeneous Equations, the Wronskian Recall { ay + by + cy = ar 2 + br + c = r, r 2 real, different. Then y(x) = C e r x + C 2 e r 2x Linear homogeneous equation: y + p(x)y + q(x)y = y(x ) = y y (x ) = y where p(x), q(x) are defined in an interval I = (α, β) and x (α, β). Theorem 2. (Existence and Uniqueness). y + p(t)y + q(t)y = g(t), y(t ) = y, y (t ) = y 5

7 If p(x), q(x) and g(x) are continuous in I : t I, then there is exactly one solution y = φ(x) of the IVP (Initial Value Problem), and the solution exists throughout the interval I. Theorem 2.2 (Superposition Principle) If y (x) and y 2 (x) are two solutions of y + p(x)y + q(x)y = Then the linear combination C y (x) + C 2 y 2 (x) is also a solution for any values of the constants C and C 2. Proof: General Solution: by Crammer s rule, once y and y 2 are known, and given initial value y(x ) = y, y (x ) = y, we can determine C and C 2 as following: y(x) = C y (x) + C 2 y 2 (x), C y (x ) + C 2 y 2 (x ) = y C y (x ) + C 2 y 2(x ) = y y y 2 (x ) y y 2(x ) y (x ) y y C = y (x ) y, C (x ) y 2 (x ) 2 = y (x ) y 2(x ) y (x ) y 2 (x ) y (x ) y 2(x ) W [y, y 2 ](x ) = y (x ) y 2 (x ) y (x ) y 2(x ) W = W [y, y 2 ](x) = y (x) y (x) Theorem 2.3 (General solution) y 2 (x) y 2(x) Wronskian determinant of y and y 2 If y and y 2 are two solution of y + p(x)y + q(x)y = and if there is a point x where the wronskian of y and y 2 is nonzero, i.e., W [y, y 2 ](x ) = y (x ) y 2 (x ) y (x ) y 2(x ), then the general solution of the DE is y = C y (x) + C 2 y 2 (x) where C and C 2 are arbitrary constants. y and y 2 are said to form a fundamental set of solutions. 6

8 Example y + 4y + 3y =. r 2 + 4r + 3 = (r + 3)(r + ) = r = 3, r = Two particular solutions y (x) = e 3x and y 2 (x) = e x. At x =, y (x ) = e =, y 2 (x ) = e =, y () = 3, y 2() =, So W [y, y 2 ]() = 3 = + 3 = 2 is the fundamental solution. Def: Linear Independence of functions y = C e 3x + C 2 e x Two functions f and g are said to be linearly dependent on interval I if there exist two constants k and k 2, not both zero, such that k f(t) + k 2 g(t) =, t I f and g are said to be linearly independent on I if they are not linearly dependent. Example : f(t) = 3t, g(t) = t, (a) I = (, ), (b) I = (, ). k 3t + k 2 t =, t I (a)i = (, ): k 3t + k 2 t = k 3t + k 2 t = (3k + k 2 )t = k 2 = 3k So as long as k 2 = 3k, for example k 2 = 3 and k =, then k 3t + k 2 t =, implies f(t) and g(t) are linear dependent on (, ). t I, which (b)i = (, ) : { k 3t + k 2 t =, t [, ) k 3t k 2 t =, t (, ) k 3t + k 2 t =, t [, ) k 2 = 3k and k 2 = 3k k 3t k 2 t =, t (, ) k 2 = 3k k = k 2 = 7

9 which implies f(t) and g(t) are linear independent on (, ). Example 2: f(t) = t, g(t) = t 2, I = (, ) k t + k 2 t 2 =, k = k 2 t, t = k k 2 t (, ) Linear independence The Wronkskian Theorem 3. (Abel s Theorem) If y and y 2 are two solutions of y + p(x)y + q(x)y = where p and q are continuous on an open interval I, then the Wronskian W [y, y 2 ](x) is given by W [y, y 2 ](x) = Ce p(x)dx where C is a certain constant that depends on y and y 2, but not on x. Furthermore, w[y, y 2 ](x) is either zero for all x I (if C = ) or else is never zero in I (if C ) Proof. +p(x) y 2 y 2 y + p(x)y + q(x)y ] y 2 = }{{} () = [y 2 + p(x)y 2 + q(x)y 2 ] y = }{{} (2) = (2) () y y 2 y 2 y }{{} (y } {{ ) = } =W =W W = y y 2 y 2 y by definition W = y y 2 + y y 2 y 2y y 2 y = y y 2 y 2 y W + p(x)w =, a separable equation [y W W = p(x), (ln W ) = p(x) ln W = p(x)dx + C, W = Ce p(x)dx Example Find the Wronskian of x 2 y (x + 2)y + (x + 2)y = without solving this DE. First, we need to divide the differential equation by the first coefficient of the second derivative term:x 2. This gives us y x + 2 x 2 y + x + 2 x 2 =. It turns out p(x) = x + 2 x 2. x + 2 x x 2 dx = x x 2 dx = ln x 2 x W [y, y 2 ](x) = Ce p(x)dx = Ce ln x 2 x = Cxe 2 x 8

In the last case, y (x) = e r x = y 2 = e r 2x. W [y, y 2 ](x) = General solution? To find the general solution, we have to find y 2 (x) which is different from y (x).

26 Chapter 4 The Laplace Transform Integral transforms are a class of most useful tools for solving linear differential equations. We are going to study one of these transforms: the Laplace transform. 4. Definition of the Laplace transform Consider a function f(t) defined for t. Define a new function Improper integrals: divergence, convergence, existence L{f(t)} F (s) = a f(t)dt = lim A A a e st f(t)dt f(t)dt Piecewise Continuous: A function is said to be piecewise continuous on an interval α t β if the interval can be partitioned by a finite number of points α = t < t < < t n β such that. f is continuous on each open subinterval t i < t < t i (i =,, n). 2. f has a finite limit at the endpoints of each subinterval. Examples: f(t) = tan t, t π is not a piecewise continuous function 25
