From Eq.(1)p.2-3: If , divide throughout by to get:

(1)



Where:

is defined as "for all"

,

,

, and



such that then is a regular point

Any such that is a regular point













2nd order--> need 2 conditions to solve for 2 constraints

Boundary Value Problem (BVP)

Prescribe:

(1)


(1)

where and are known values

Initial Value Problem (IVP)

Prescribe:

(2)


(2)



where and are known values

Solve IVP by ODE from p3-1 Eq(1) or initial condition p3-2 Eq(2)

Two points:

1) Existence and uniqueness of solution













2) Superposition based on linearity of differential operation L(.)

(1)


(2)



Where the 2 in is defined as 2nd order

Linearity of

(3)



in a function of x
and belonging to (scalars, real numbers);

Where is defined as a set of real numbers

Example: Matrix Algebra

matrix with n rows and m columns of real numbers

is a column matrix


Clearly:

Example:
is a linear operation



linearity allows the use of superposition



, where the subscripts H and P stand for homogeneous and particular in respective order.
