Mah 228- Fri Mar 24 5.6 Marix exponenials and linear sysems: The analogy beween firs order sysems of linear differenial equaions (Chaper 5) and scalar linear differenial equaions (Chaper ) is much sronger han you may have expeced. This will become especially clear on Monday, when we sudy secion 5.7. Definiion Consider he linear sysem of differenial equaions for x : x A x where A n n is a consan marix as usual. If x, x 2,... x n is a basis for he soluion space o his sysem, hen he marix having hese soluions as columns, x x 2... x n is called a Fundamenal Marix (FM) o his sysem of differenial equaions. Noice ha his equivalen o saying ha X solves X A X X nonsingular i.e. inverible (jus look column by column). Noice ha a FM is jus he Wronskian marix for a soluion space basis. Example page 35 2: 5: general soluion Possible FM: general soluion: 4 2 3 x y 3 4 2 x y 2 3 2 5 6 2 3 2 3 6 x c e 2 c 3 e 2 e 2 v 3e 2 3e 2 3 v 2 c 2 e 5 2. 2e 5 e 5 2e 5 e 5 c c 2

Is value a is x I x x. Exercise ) Coninuing wih he example on page, use he formula above o solve IVP x y x y 3 4 2 x y ans: x 3 7 e 2 3 2 7 e5 2

Remark: If is a Fundamenal Marix for x A x and if C is an inverible marix of he same size, hen C is also a FM.

Thus X C is an FM. (Noice his argumen would no work if we had used C insead.) If is any FM for x A x hen X solves X A X. X I Noice ha here is only one marix soluion o his IVP, since he j h column x j is he (unique) soluion o Definiion The unique FM ha solves is called he marix exponenial, e A...because: x' A x x e j.

Also, X I. Thus, since here is only one marix funcion ha can saisfy X A X we deduce X I k k! Ak k k! Ak... Theorem The marix exponenial e A may be compued eiher of wo ways: e A e A I A 2 3 2! A2 3!

Here's he formula: Le y x, y 2 x,...y n x be a basis of soluions o he homogeneous DE L y y n p n x y n... p x y p x y. Then y p x u x y x u 2 x y 2 x... u n x y n x is a paricular soluion o L y f provided he coefficien funcions (aka "varying parameers") u x, u 2 x,...u n x have derivaives saisfying he Wronskian marix equaion y y 2... y n y y 2... y n............ y n y 2 n... y n n... u u 2 : u n : f

Bu if we conver he n h order DE ino a firs order sysem for x y, x 2 y ec. we have x y x x 2 y x 2 x 3 y x n x n y n x n y n p x y p x y 2... p n x y n f. And each basis soluion y for L y gives a soluion y, y, y,...y n T o he homogeneous sysem x x 2 x 3 : x n......... : : : : : p p p 2... p n x x 2 x 3 : x n : f. So he original Wronskian marix for he n h order linear homogeneous DE is a FM for he sysem above, so he formula we learned in Chaper 3 is a special case of he easier o undersand one for firs order sysems ha we jus derived, namely u f u f

Reurning o firs order sysems, if we wan o solve an IVP for a firs order sysem raher han find he complee general soluion, hen he following wo ways are appropriae: ) If you wan o solve he IVP x P x f x x The he soluion will be of he form x u (where u f as above). Thus so Thus x u u u u u x. s ds s f s ds. Then u u x x u u s f s ds. 2) If you wan o solve he special case IVP x A x f x x where A is a consan marix, you may derive a special case of he soluion formula above jus as we did in Chaper. This is sor of amazing! x A x f x A x f e A x A x e A f d d e A x e A f. Inegrae from o : e A x x Move he x over and muliply boh sides by e A : e s A f s ds x e A x e s A f s ds.
