Document Summary

3. 1: second order linear equations: theorem on existence and uniqueness for linear equations, theorem on wronskians of solutions, theorem on general solutions of homogeneous equations, linear independence, wronskian, homogeneous linear equation, theorem on principle of superposition. Two functions are said to be linearly independent if neither is a constant multiple of the other. (cid:1827)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877) +(cid:1828)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877) +(cid:1829)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877)=(cid:882) Let (cid:1877)(cid:2869) and (cid:1877)(cid:2870) be two solutions of the homogeneous linear equation. Then, if (cid:1855)(cid:2869) and (cid:1855)(cid:2870) are constants, the linear combination (cid:1877)=(cid:1855)(cid:2869)(cid:1877)(cid:2869)+(cid:1855)(cid:2870)(cid:1877)(cid:2870) is also a solution. Suppose the functions (cid:1868),(cid:1869),(cid:1858) are continuous on the open interval containing the point (cid:1853). Then, given any two numbers (cid:1854)(cid:2868) and (cid:1854)(cid:2869), the equation (cid:1877) +(cid:1868)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877) +(cid:1869)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877)=(cid:1858) has a unique solution on that satisfies (cid:1877)(cid:4666)(cid:1853)(cid:4667)=(cid:1854)(cid:2868) and (cid:1877) (cid:4666)(cid:1853)(cid:4667)=(cid:1854)(cid:2869). i. e. , (cid:1863) ,(cid:1863)(cid:1858)(cid:2869) (cid:1858)(cid:2870). (cid:1859) Given two functions (cid:1858) and (cid:1859), the wronskian is the determinant, =|(cid:1858) (cid:1858) (cid:1859) |=(cid:1858)(cid:1859) (cid:1858) (cid:1859). Suppose that (cid:1877)(cid:2869) and (cid:1877)(cid:2870) are two solutions of (cid:1877) +(cid:1868)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877) +(cid:1869)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1877)=(cid:882).
