    Study Notes

    Differential Equations

    Linear Equations

    • A linear differential equation is a differential equation in which the derivative of the unknown function is proportional to the function itself.
    • General form: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)
    • P(x) and Q(x) are functions of x
    • Properties:
      • Linear homogeneity: If y1 and y2 are solutions, then c1y1 + c2y2 is also a solution for any constants c1 and c2.
      • Superposition principle: The general solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and the particular solution.

    First Order Equations

    • A first-order differential equation is a differential equation that involves only the first derivative of the unknown function.
    • General form: dy/dx = f(x, y)
    • Types:
      • Separable variables: dy/dx = f(x)g(y), can be solved by separating variables and integrating.
      • Linear: dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x), can be solved using an integrating factor.
      • Exact: M(x, y)dx + N(x, y)dy = 0, can be solved by finding an implicit solution.
    • Solution methods:
      • Direct integration: y = ∫f(x)dx + C
      • Separation of variables: ∫dy/g(y) = ∫f(x)dx + C
