Study Notes

Methods for Solving Differential Equations

The solution of a linear differential equation model can be obtained using methods such as Direct Integration, Separation of Variables, and Undetermined Coefficients.

Components of a Dynamic System's Complete Response

The complete response of a dynamic system can be broken down into the transient response and the steady-state response.

Information Obtainable from a Model

A model expressed as a set of equations can provide information about the behavior of the system, the relationships between variables, and the effects of changes to system parameters.

Linear Differential Equations

An example of a linear differential equation is $2ẍ + 5ẋ + 3x = 0$.
The order of the differential equation $3ẍ + 7ẋ + 2x = 5$ is 2, since the highest derivative is the second derivative.

Dependent Variable and Initial Conditions

The dependent variable in the equation $2ẋ + 6x = 3$ is $x$, which represents the output or response of the system.
The initial condition in solving the differential equation $2ẋ + 6x = 3$ is the value of $x$ at the initial time, which is required to solve the equation.

Solution Methods

The equation $ẋ + 2x = 20$ can be solved using the method of Undetermined Coefficients.
The solution to the equation $ẋ + ax = b$ in the form $x(t) = C + Dest$ is a combination of the transient response and the steady-state response.

Characteristic Roots

The characteristic root of the equation $s + a = 0$ is $s = -a$.

Solving ODEs Quickly

The Method of Recognizable Forms is useful for quickly obtaining solutions of common ODEs whose solution forms are already known from experience.

Representations of Complex Numbers

The rectangular representation of a complex number is most suitable for addition and subtraction.
The polar representation of a complex number is most suitable for multiplication and division.

Polar Representation of a Complex Number

The polar representation of the complex number $z_1 = 3 + 4j$ is $z_1 = 5 ∠ 53.13°$.

Division of Complex Numbers

The result of dividing the complex numbers $z_1 = 3 + 4j$ and $z_2 = -3 + 4j$ is $\frac{z_1}{z_2} = -\frac{25}{25} = -1$.
