Application of Differential Equation

35. Differential Equation Chapter 1 35
Solution of Differential Equation

36. There are two types of solution of differential equations
1. General solution
2. Particular solution
General Solution:
Examples:
y=ax+bx2 is the solution of differential equation x2 𝑑2
𝑦
𝑑𝑥2- 2x
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
+ 2y =0, where a
and b are two arbitrary constants.
y=3x+c , is solution of the 1st order
differential equation
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
= 3 , c is arbitrary constant.
As is solution of the differential equation for every
value of c, hence it is known as general solution.

37. Particular solution:
Examples:
y=5x2+3x+2 is a particular solution where A=5,B=3 and C=2
Or
y=x2+2x+3 (A=1,B=2,C=3) is the particular solution
A particular solution of differential equation is obtain from the primitive by
assigning definite values to the arbitrary constants.
A relation between the variables which involves n essential arbitrary constants,as
y=x2+cx or y=Ax2+Bx is called a primitive

38. INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM
• In many physical problems we need to find the particular
solution that satisfies a condition of the form y(x0)=y0.
This is called an initial condition, and the problem of
finding a solution of the differential equation that
satisfies the initial condition is called an initial-value
problem.
• Example (cont.): Find a solution to y2 = x2 + C satisfying the
initial condition y(0) = 2.
22 = 02 + C
C = 4
y2 = x2 + 4

39. Examples:
𝑑2 𝑦
𝑑𝑥2
+ y = 0
y(1) = 3
y’(1) = -4
This problem consists in finding a solution of the differential equation
𝑑2 𝑦
𝑑𝑥2
+ y = 0
Which assumes the value 3 at x=1 and whose first derivative assumes the value -4 at x=1.Both
of this conditions relate to one x values, namely , x=1.Thus this is an initial-value problem.

40. Definition:
A boundary value problem is a system of ordinary DE with solution and derivatives
values specified at more than one point most commonly , the solution and derivatives are
specified at just two points (the boundaries)defining two points boundary value i.e the
conditions relate to two different x values, the problem is called a two point boundary value
problem(0r simply a boundary-value problem).
Example:
𝒅 𝟐 𝒚
𝒅𝒙 𝟐
+ 𝐲 = 𝟎
y(0)=1 , y(П/2)=5
The solution must assume the value 1 at x=0 and the value at x= П/2.That is the conditions
relate to the two different x values,0 and П/2.This is a (two point) boundary-value problem.
BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

41. Existence of solution:
We were able to find a solution of the initial – value problem under
consideration , but do all initial-value and boundary-value problems have
solutions ? We have already observed that this question is in the negative
form.. That is no.
For we have pointed out that the boundary problem
𝑑2 𝑦
𝑑𝑥2 + y = 0 ; y(0) = 1 , y(𝜋) = 5
Mentioned at the ends of solving this problem it observed that it has no
solution ! Thus arises the question of existence of solutions….
The question is – Is there really exist the solutions of the problems ?
This is generally known as EXISTENCE OF SOLUTION

42. The eternal existential question
If we are given any old initial-value problem
• Does there have to be a solution?
• If so, could there be more than one solution?
(Think of questions like “does 2x5 - 10x + 5 = 0 have a
solution? if so, how many?” We can show that there
is a solution between x=-1 and x=1, but we can’t factor
the polynomial to find it, and we don’t know how
many there are.)

43. The existence theorem
The existence theorem (p. 66) basically says that if f(t, y) is
continuous “near” (t0, y0), then the differential equation
has a solution “near” time t0.
Most of the functions we’ll see in this class are continuous (at least,
most of the time!).

dt
 f (t,y), y(t0 )  y0

44. Formal statement of the existence theorem
• Check out the theorem on p. 66.
• The statement “there exists an  > 0” means that
there is some positive value the variable  can take
on so that the statement becomes true.
• The theorem does not tell us how large that value
is.

45. Example

46. Uniqueness of solutions
OK, so in most reasonable situations, at least one
solution to an IVP will exist.
Did I say at least one????
Does this mean there can be more than one????
YES.
If the function f(t, y) and its partial derivative
are continuous at (t0, y0), a solution exists and is
unique near (t0, y0). Otherwise, there might be
more than one solution!
Try dy/dt = 3y2/3, y(0)=0, to see how this can look.
