Course Calendar updates

April 3, 2019 / Jonas Reitz / 0 Comments

Hi everyone,

Due to a number of factors (we one day behind the syllabus, Spring Break and Exam 3 timing, etc), I am making some minor changes to the class calendar – rearranging topics over the next few lectures. The remaining material in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 will be put off for a week or so, and tomorrow we will dive into Chapter 7 – Power Series (we’ll spend the next week or so working on this chapter). See the most current schedule here. Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Prof. Reitz

Forward maximal interval
Consider the following system: \begin{cases} \dot{x} = -2x^2 + 3y^2 \\ \dot{y} = 2x^2 - 3y^2 \end{cases} with initial conditions $ x(0) = x_0 > 0 $ and $ y(0) = y_0 > 0 $. Let $[0, \beta)$ be the forward maximal interval of this initial condition. Part (a) Show that $x(t) \geq 0$ and […]
Study of continuous periodic probability distribution
In an attempt to set the domain of the Bell / Gauss distribution probability distribution curve as periodic function , (primed derivative wrt $x$ ) modified its ode $$ y'=-xy $$ to a periodic one in place of its monotonous behavior. I took the new ode as $$ y'=-y \sin x $$ Integrating I get […]
Why is non-diagonal term $\dot{S}S^{-1}$ make using eigenvalue method hard?
We face a system characterized by the following matrix : $$ \begin{cases} \dot{x} = -2tx + t^2y \\ \dot{y} = t^3x + 4ty \end{cases} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad A = \begin{pmatrix} -2t & t^2 \\ t^3 & 4t \end{pmatrix} $$ Since $A$ is time-dependent, the usual techniques for a by-hand/no-computer resolution do not work as is, but they […]
How to use the substitution method to end up with a second-order linear ODE with non-constant coefficients and solve that ODE?
We face a system characterized by the following matrix : $$ \begin{cases} \dot{x} = -2tx + t^2y \\ \dot{y} = t^3x + 4ty \end{cases} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad A = \begin{pmatrix} -2t & t^2 \\ t^3 & 4t \end{pmatrix} $$ Since $A$ is time-dependent, the usual techniques for a by-hand/no-computer resolution do not work as is, but they […]
Some interesting ODEs I am contemplating (just two).
The ODE is as follows: $$y''+1/y'=y,y(0)=0,y'(0)=1$$ $$y''+1/y=y', y(0)=1,y'(0)=0$$ The first one I multiply by $y'$ to get the following ODE: $y'=\sqrt{y^2-2x}$, don't know how to resolve this ODE though. The second ODE, again I should do the same trick of multiplying the equation by $y'$ to get: $\frac{1}{2}(y')^2+\ln(y)=\int^x (y')^2 dx$. Here I guess I could […]
Probability density function that satisfies an ODE
Let $k_1
integrate the following differential equation xy''-tan(y')=0
I need solve this problem but i'm really having problems What i had done: $$xy''=tan(y')$$ $$\text{use: }u=y'$$ $$xu'=tan(u)$$ $$\text{We will find } u=arcsin(Cx)$$ So I thought of replacing the u in $y'=arcsin(Cx)$ $$\frac{dy}{dx}=arcsin(Cx)$$ $$dy=arcsin(Cx)dx$$ And after that integrate to find y. Does this make sense for this exercise? I don't know if the method I […]
How do I solve an initial condition, second order ODE with the Fourier transform? y'' + 20y' + 6000y = 0, y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 0? Help pls. [closed]
I am struggling to solve this problem with the Fourier Transform??? I transform every term and factor out F(w), but from there the other side of the equation = 0, and I don't know how to proceed. Please help me.
Dynamical System Local Asymptotic Stability with Nontrivial Kernel
I’m trying to investigate the local asymptotic stability of critical points in a certain autonomous system. Specifically, we’re looking at trajectories satisfying $\dot{x} = f(x)$ for a non-linear $f$ on a Banach space $V$. The issue is that the critical points $x_0$ such that $f(x_0) = 0$ are not necessarily isolated. Given a critical point […]
Solving Nonhomogenous Systems of ODE's with Linear Independence Issues via Undetermined Coefficients
been looking to better understand how to find the solution to the system $\vec{x}'=\begin{pmatrix}1&-26\\1&-1\end{pmatrix}\vec{x}+\begin{pmatrix}4\\0\end{pmatrix}cos(5t)$ using the method of undetermined coefficients, now given that the associated homogenous system $\vec{x}'=A\vec{x}$ has eigenvalues of $\lambda=\pm 5i$ I know the regular guess of $\vec{x}_p=\vec{a}cos(5t)+\vec{b}sin(5t)$ won't work, I've also read somewhere that when this happens we try the guess $\vec{x}_p=\vec{a}cos(5t)+\vec{b}sin(5t)+\vec{c}tcos(5t)+\vec{d}tsin(5t)$ […]
