#start of lec 8 (sept 22) last lecture we talked about $ay''+b'y+cy=f(t)$ in the case when $f(t)=0$ : 1) $ay''+b'y+cy=0$ then $ar^2+br+c=0$ and solve with quadratic formula general solution is: $y_{h}(t)=c_{1}e^{r_{1}(t)}+c_{2}e^{r_{2}t}$ where h means homogenous, ( because when =0 its homogenous) if $r_{1}=r_{2}$ then $y_{h}(t)=c_{1}e^{r(t)}+c_{2}e^{rt}$ if imaginary roots: $y_{h}(t)=e^{\alpha t}(c_{1}\cos(\beta t)+c_{2}\sin(\beta t))$ 2) If $y_{p}(t)$ solves 1) then its general solution is $y(t)=y_{h}(t)+y_{p}(t)$ theorem: if $p(t),\ g(t),\ f(t)$ are continuous on $I$ then the IVP $y''+p(t)y'+q(t)y=f(t), y(t_{o}),\ y'(t_{o})=y_{1} t_{o}\in I$ has a unique solution method of undetermined coeffecients: #ex $y''\pm_{4}y'+4y=3t+9$ lets find general solution, its centainly non homogenous. first we have to find general solution to the homogenous equation: 1) $y''-4y'+4y=0$ characteristic eq: $r^2-4r+4=0$ what are the roots? $r=2$ (repeated solution) $y_{h}(t)=c_{1}e^{2t}+c_{2}te^{2t}$ we are looking for a particular polynomial where the power is not greater than 1 (?) 2) $y_{p}(t)=At+B$ $y_{p}'=A,\ y_{p}''=0$ $-4A+4(At+B)=3t+9$ $4A=3,\ -4A+4B=9$ $A=\frac{3}{4},\ B=3$ $y(t)=\frac{3}{4}t+3$ general solution: $$y(t)=c_{1}e^{2t}+c_{2}te^{2t}+\frac{3}{4}t+3$$ so big takeaway is if the RHS of eq is a polynomial of degree u, we try to find a solution as a polynomial of degree u #ex $$y''-4y'+4y=e^{2t}$$ find general solution. 1) $y_h(t)=c_{1}e^{2t}+c_{2}te^{2t}$ (computed earlier) 2) $y_p(t)$ we observe the RHS is some exponential, we need the derivative + its second derivative to equal that, we have no option but suspect that its $Ae^{2t}$ but then the LHS becomes 0! so $Ae^{2t}$ is a wrong guess. so what do we do? try $Ate^{2t}$ take $c_{2}=A, c_{1}=0$, this does not work again. LHS becomes 0 again so try $At^2e^{2t}$ $2Ae^{2t}=2e^{2t},\ A=1$ This one works! we know the homogeenous solution. $y(t)=c_{1}e^{2t}+c_{2}te^{2t}+t^2e^{2t}$ is the general solution moral of sotry? if RHS is constant times $e^2t$ we guess with an exponent with a constant, if its homogenous we multiply by t, if still not a valid solution then we multiply by t again. Ex: $y''+2y'+2y=2e^{-t}+\cos t,\ y(0)=3,\ y'(0)=1$ I wanna solve this IVP! it must have a unique solution. 1) set RHS to 0: $r^2+2r+2=0$ $r_{1,2}=-1\pm i$ sqrt(i) is interesting, but not the topic for today. $y_{h}(t)=e^{-t}(c_{1}\cos(t)+c_{2}\sin(t))$ 2) $y_{p}(t)=$ RHS is much more complicated, sum of 2 functions. Lets use principle of super position $y_{p}(t)=y_{p_{1}}+y_{p_{2}}$ where $y_{p_{1}}$ solves $y''+2y'+2y=2e^{-t}$ $y_{p_{2}}$ solves $y''+2y'+2y=5\cos (t)$ lets try $y_{p_{1}}=Ae^{-t}$ does this work? look at it, A must be zero but if A is zero you still get problems. $y_{p_{1}}'=-Ae^{-t}$ $y_{p_{1}}''=Ae^-t$ plug in these three and we find that A=2 second equation, not so easy: solution of cos t doenst quite work $y_{p_{2}}=A\cos(t)+B\sin(t)$ $y_{p_{2}}'=-A\sin(t)+b\cos (t)$ $y_{p_{2}}''=-A\cos t-B\sin t$ $(A+2B)\cos(t)+(-2A+B)\sin(t)=5\cos(t)$ $A+2B=0$ $-2A+B=0$ -> A=1, B=2 but $y_{p_{1}}\ne y_{p_{2}}$ because of the $e^{-t}$ term $y(t)=c_{1}e^{-t}\cos(t)+c_{2}e^{-t}\sin t+2e^{-t}+\cos t+2\sin t$ $y(0)=3=c_{1}+3=3\implies c_{1}=0$ $y'(0)=1=c_{2}$ final solution $y(t)=e^{-t}(\sin t+2)+\cos t+2\sin t$ If we have an equation of the from: 1) $ay''+by'+cy=P_{m}(t)e^{rt}$ where $p_{m}(t)=a_{m}t^m+a_{m-1}t^{m-1}+ \dots +a_{0}$ then the guess is: $y_{p}(t)=t^s(b_{mt}t^m+b_{m-1}t^{m-1}+\dots+b_{0})e^{rt}$ (i) s=0 if r is not a characteristic polynomial (ii)) s=1 if r is a single root (iii) s=2 if r is a double root we will talk about this more in the coming lecture. #end of lec 8
