1 Modeling with Di erential Equations: Introduction to the Issues 10/26/2011

2 Goal: Given an equation relating a variable (e.g. x), a function (e.g. y), and its derivatives (y 0, y 00,...), what is y? i.e. How do I solve for y?

3 Goal: Given an equation relating a variable (e.g. x), a function (e.g. y), and its derivatives (y 0, y 00,...), what is y? i.e. How do I solve for y? Why? Many physical and biological systems can be modeled with di erential equations. Also, it can be a lot harder to model a function long term than it is to measure how something changes as the system goes from one state to another.

4 Some examples Obvervation: The rate of increase of a bacterial culture is proportional to the number of bacteria present at that time. Obvervation: The motion of a mass on a spring is given by two opposing forces: (1) the force exerted by the mass in motion (F = ma = m d 2 D) and (2) the force exerted by the spring, dt 2 proportional to the displacement from equilibrium (F = kd).

Equation: m d 2 dt 2 D = kd

6 Some examples Obvervation: The rate of increase of a bacterial culture is proportional to the number of bacteria present at that time. dp Equation: dt = kp Solution: P = Ae kt,wherea is a constant. (We did this in lecture 12) Obvervation: The motion of a mass on a spring is given by two opposing forces: (1) the force exerted by the mass in motion (F = ma = m d 2 D) and (2) the force exerted by the spring, dt 2 proportional to the displacement from equilibrium (F = kd). Equation: m d 2 dt 2 D = kd Solution: D = A cos(t p k/m)+b sin(t p k/m), where A and B are constants. (We did this in lecture 14, where k/m =1)

7 Slope Fields If you can write your di erential equation like = F (x, y) then you really have a way of saying If I m standing at the point (a,b), then I should move from here with slope F (a, b).

8 Slope Fields If you can write your di erential equation like = F (x, y) then you really have a way of saying If I m standing at the point (a,b), then I should move from here with slope F (a, b). Some examples: = x y dp dt = kp dt = t2 sin(xt)+x 2

26 Solving explicitly (get a formula!) We ve done Get lucky what s a function you know whose derivative blah blah Di erential equations of the form Find the antiderivative! Today, we ll add = f (x) 3. Di erential equations of the form Use Separation of Variables = f (x) g(y)

27 Separable Equations A separable di erential equation is one of the form = f (x) g(y).

28 Separable Equations A separable di erential equation is one of the form Some examples: = f (x) g(y). = x y =( x) ( 1 y ) dt = t2 sec(x)

29 Separable Equations A separable di erential equation is one of the form Some examples: = f (x) g(y). Some non-examples: = x y =( x) ( 1 y ) dt = t2 sec(x) = x + y dt = t + x xt 2

30 Separable Equations A separable di erential equation is one of the form Some examples: = f (x) g(y). Some non-examples: = x y =( x) ( 1 y ) dt = t2 sec(x) = x + y dt = t + x xt 2 A separable equation is one in which we can put all of the y s and s (as products) on one side of the equation and all of the x s and s (as products) on the other...

31 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y

32 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y (2) If dt = t2 sec(x), then cos(x) = t 2 dt.

33 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y (2) If dt = t2 sec(x), then cos(x) = t 2 dt. To solve (1), integrate both sides: Z Z y= x

34 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y (2) If dt = t2 sec(x), then cos(x) = t 2 dt. To solve (1), integrate both sides: Z Z y 2 /2+c 2 = y= x= x 2 /2+c 1

35 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y (2) If dt = t2 sec(x), then cos(x) = t 2 dt. To solve (1), integrate both sides: Z Z y 2 /2+c 2 = y= x= x 2 /2+c 1 So q y = ± 2( x 2 /2+c 1 c 2 )=± p a x 2 where a = 2(c 1 c 2 ).

36 Examples Slope field for = x y : Suggested and checked y = ± p r 2 x 2

37 Examples (1) If = x, then y= x. y (2) If dt = t2 sec(x), then cos(x) = t 2 dt. To solve (1), integrate both sides: Z Z y 2 /2+c 2 = y= x= x 2 /2+c 1 So q y = ± 2( x 2 /2+c 1 c 2 )=± p a x 2 where a = 2(c 1 c 2 ). *Find an implicit formula for (2) (with no derivatives left in it)*

38 How many solutions are there? Existence? How do I know I even get a solution? An important result in the theory of di erential equations is Peano s Existence Theorem, whichstates... = F (x, y) an(a) =b, where F (x, y) is continuous in a domain D, then there is always at least one solution in the domain, and any such solution is di erentiable. If Uniqueness? How do we know that there is not another solution? If, additionally, F (x, y) =f (x)g(y), and if g 0 and f 0 are continuous, then solution is unique.

39 (1) Match the di erential equations to the slope fields: (A) = 1 5 xy (B) = x+y (C) = cos (x) (D) = cos (y) (a) (b) (c) (d) (2) Solve the initial value problems (a) = 1 xy, y(0) = 2; 5 (b) =sin(x)/y 2, y(0) = 3.
