Terminology

This course deals with ordinary differential equations, which are

equations that contain one or more derivatives of a function of a single

variable. Such equations can be used to model a rich variety of

phenomena of interest in the sciences, engineering, economics,

ecological studies, and other areas.

Functions: dependent variables and independent variables.

Concepts of differential equations

In general, a differential equation is an equation that contains an

unknown function and its derivatives. The order of a differential

equation is the order of the highest derivative that occurs in the

equation.

A function y=f(x) is called a solution of a differential equation if the

equation is satisfied when y=f(x) and its derivatives are substituted into

the equation.

Page 12: Math 220, Differential Equations · In general, a differential equation is an equation that contains an unknown function and its derivatives. The order of a differential equation

e.g.

Show that 𝑦𝑦 = 2𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥 is a particular solution of the ordinary differential equation:

𝑑𝑑2𝑦𝑦𝑑𝑑𝑥𝑥2

− 𝑑𝑑𝑦𝑦𝑑𝑑𝑥𝑥− 2𝑦𝑦 = 𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥

Taking derivatives of fn𝑦𝑦𝒚 = 4𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥

𝑦𝑦𝒚𝒚 = 8𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥

Substituting into the DE, 8𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥 − 4𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥 − 2 2𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥 = 0

so 𝑦𝑦 = 2𝑒𝑒2𝑥𝑥 sol’n of the DE.

Solutions to Differential Equations

Three important questions in the study of differential equations:

• Is there a solution? (Existence)

• If there is a solution, is it unique? (Uniqueness)

• If there is a solution, how do we find it?

• (Analytical Solution, Numerical Approximation, etc.)

General Solution (gen. sol’n)• Solutions obtained from integrating the differential equations are

called general solutions.

• The general solution of an order ODE contains arbitrary constants

resulting from integrating times.

• Geometrically, the general solution of an ODE is a family of infinitely

many solution curves, one for each value of the constant c.e.g., 𝑦𝑦″ + 4𝑦𝑦 = 0 , sol’n: 𝑦𝑦 = sin 2𝑥𝑥 for x∈R

𝑦𝑦′ = 𝑦𝑦𝑥𝑥

• Particular solutions are the solutions obtained by assigning specific

values to the arbitrary constants in the general solutions.

• A particular solution does not contain any arbitrary constants.

Initial Condition (IC)

In many physical problems we need to find the particular solution that

satisfies a condition of the form y(x0)=y0. Constrains that are specified at

the initial point, generally time point, are called initial conditions.

A solution containing an arbitrary constant (parameter) represents a set

ex. 2: Sketch the direction field for 𝑦𝑦′ = 𝑦𝑦3 − 4𝑦𝑦.

Hint: note that this only depends on y. Thus, if we find one slope-line for a

particular y-value, we can extend it left and right.

Another hint: Note that 𝑦𝑦′ = 0 represents a horizontal slope-line and this

occurs when 𝑦𝑦3 − 4𝑦𝑦 = 0. Factoring, we have

𝑦𝑦 𝑦𝑦2 − 4 = 𝑦𝑦 𝑦𝑦 + 2 𝑦𝑦 − 2 = 0.

Thus, when 𝑦𝑦 = 2,−2 or 0, then 𝑦𝑦′ = 0.

𝑦𝑦′ = 𝑥𝑥 + 1 𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥 , 𝑦𝑦′′ = 𝑥𝑥 + 2 𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥

left hand side:

𝑦𝑦′′ − 2𝑦𝑦′ + 𝑦𝑦 = (𝑥𝑥𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥 + 2𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥) − 2(𝑥𝑥𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥 + 𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥) + 𝑥𝑥𝑒𝑒𝑥𝑥 = 0

right-hand side: 0

The DE possesses the constant y=0 trivial solution
