Background Theory: Solving ODEs with Constant Coefficients[1][2]

edit

Consider a second-order homogeneous linear ODE with constant coefficients a and b.

 

 

 

 

 

(I-1)

To solve this problem, note that the solution to a first-order linear ODE of the form:

 

 

 

 

 

is an exponential function, yielding a solution of the form:

 

 

 

 

 

(I-2)

Based upon this, we will expand the solution to apply to second-linear homogeneous ODEs. To do so, we must first find equations describing   and  , and so we will take the derivatives (with respect to x) of (I-2).

 

 

 

 

 

(I-3)

 

 

 

 

 

(I-4)

We will now substitute (I-2), (I-3), and (I-4) into (1-1) to obtain the relationship:

 

 

 

 

 

(I-5)

Simplifying, we have:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I-6)


Since (I-6) follows the same form as the quadratic equation, we can solve for   and   as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Referring back to algebra, we know that the solution to these two equations can be one of three cases:

Case 1

edit

Two real roots if...

 

 

 

 

 

These two roots give us two solutions:

  and  

The corresponding general solution then takes the form of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

(I-7)


Case 2

edit

A real double root if...

 

 

 

 

 

This yields only one solution:

 


In order to form a basis, a set of two linearly independent solutions, we must find another solution. To do so, we will use the method of reduction of order, where:

 
 
and
 
yeilding
 
 


Since   is a solution of (1-1), the last set of parentheses is zero.
Similarly, the first parentheses is zero as well, because

 

From integration, we get the solution:

 

If we set   and  

 


Thus, the general solution is:

 

 

 

 

 

(I-8)

Case 3

edit

Complex conjugate roots if...

 

 

 

 

 

In this case, the roots of (1-6) are complex:

 
and
 


Thus, the corresponding general solution is of the form:

 

 

 

 

 

(I-9)

Problem Statement

edit

For this problem, the task was to derive the linear second-order non-homogeneous ODE and its solution given the two roots, initial conditions, and general excitation. However, for this problem it was assumed that r(x) = 0. Then, three non-standard and non-homogeneous ODE's were generated from the two given roots.

Roots:

 

 

 

 

 

Initial conditions:

 

 

 

 

 


Background Theory

edit

To solve this problem, it is necessary to know the general form for a linear second-order ODE:

 

 

 

 

 

(1-1)

and that the characteristic equation for this type of ODE can be written as

 

 

 

 

 

(1-2)

Solution

edit

Substitution both roots into the characteristic equation,

 

 

 

 

 

and distributing fully yields

 

 

 

 

 

The characteristic equation can be used to form the second-order ODE:

 

 

 

 

 

(1-3)


Therefore, the solution for the homogeneous function is in the form of

 

 

 

 

 

and its derivative is

 

 

 

 

 

Algebraic substitution yields:

and (9-8).
