Problem 6 edit
Problem Statement edit
For each ODE in Fig.2 in K 2011 p.3 (except the last one involving a system of 2 ODEs), determine the order, linearity (or lack of), and show whether the principle of superposition can be applied. [1]
Theory edit
Order edit
The order of an equation is determined by the highest derivative. In this report, the first derivative of the y variable is denoted as y′, and the second derivative is denoted as y′′ , and so on. This can be determined upon observation of the equation.[2]
Linearity edit
An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is considered linear if it can be brought to the form[3]:
Superposition edit
Superposition can be applied if when a homogeneous and particular solution of an original equation are added, that they are equivalent to the original equation. In this report, variables with a bar over them represent the addition of the homogeneous and particular solution's same variable[4]. For example:
