    2 2 Systems of Linear Differential Equations

  • Motivation

    We are interested in solving systems of first order differentialequations of the form:

    x = f (x , y)

    y = g(x , y)

  • Motivation

    We are interested in solving systems of first order differentialequations of the form:

    x = f (x , y)

    y = g(x , y)

    or more generally, systems that look like:

    x = f (x , y , t)

    y = g(x , y , t)

  • Motivation

    We are interested in solving systems of first order differentialequations of the form:

    x = f (x , y)

    y = g(x , y)

    or more generally, systems that look like:

    x = f (x , y , t)

    y = g(x , y , t)

    In the first case, f (x , y) and g(x , y) do not depend on t. They arecalled autonomous.

  • Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices

    To find the eigenvalues (and corresponding eigenvectors) of amatrix A means to find the (scalar) values and corresponding(non-zero) vectors v which satisfy the vector equation

    Av = v .

    In some sense the eigenvectors define the main directions alongwhich the matrix A acts (as a geometric transform).

  • Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices

    To find the eigenvalues (and corresponding eigenvectors) of amatrix A means to find the (scalar) values and corresponding(non-zero) vectors v which satisfy the vector equation

    Av = v .

    In some sense the eigenvectors define the main directions alongwhich the matrix A acts (as a geometric transform).

    Example 1: Let A =

    (5 21 4

    ). Find its eigenvalues and

    corresponding eigenvectors.

    ).

    2 2 Systems of Linear Differential Equations

  • Example,contd

    The equationAv = v .

    means:

    5x + 2y = x

    x 4y = y

    2 2 Systems of Linear Differential Equations

  • Example,contd

    The equationAv = v .

    means:

    5x + 2y = x

    x 4y = y

    or

    (5 )x + 2y = 0

    x + (4 )y = 0

    2 2 Systems of Linear Differential Equations

  • Example,contd

    The equationAv = v .

    means:

    5x + 2y = x

    x 4y = y

    or

    (5 )x + 2y = 0

    x + (4 )y = 0

    This system of equations describes the intersection of two lineswhich go through the origin. In order to have a non-zero solution,the determinant must be zero (this follows from Cramers rule). So (5 ) 2
