60 394 Differential Equations E3 Many of the practical problems in physics and engineering can be converted into differential equations. The solution of differential equations is, therefore of paramount importance. This chapter deals with some elementary aspects of differential equations. These are addressed through simple application of differential and integral calculus. ID There are two important aspects of differential equation, which have just been touched in this chapter. How to formulate a problem as a differential equation is the one, and the other is how to solve it. U 8.1 Definition. An equation involving independent variable x, dependent variable y and the differential Examples : D YG dy d 2 y , ,........ is called differential equation. dx dx 2 coefficients (i) dy 1 x y dx (ii) 3 d4y dy (iii) 4 4 4 y 5 cos 3 x dx dx dy xy cot x dx 2 (iv) x 2 d 2y dy 1 0 2 dx dx U (1) Order of a differential equation : The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative occurring in the differential equation. For example, the order of above differential equations are 1,1,4 and 2 respectively. ST Note : The order of a differential equation is a positive integer. To determine the order of a differential equation, it is not needed to make the equation free from radicals. (2) Degree of a differential equation : The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest order derivative, when differential coefficients are made free from radicals and fractions. In other words, the degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest order derivative occurring in differential equation when it is written as a polynomial in differential coefficients. Note : The definition of degree does not require variables x, y, t etc. to be free from radicals and fractions. The degree of above differential equations are 1, 1, 3 and 2 respectively. Differential Equations 395 2 The order and degree of the differential equation y x (a) 1, 2 Solution: (a) (b) 2, 1 (c) 1, 1 (d) 2, 2 dy , having order 1. dx equation as a polynomial Clearly, highest order derivative involved is Expressing 2 dy dy a 2 b 2 are dx dx the above differential in derivative, we have 60 Example: 1 2 dy dy y x a2 b 2 dx dx 2 The order and degree of the differential equation (a) 2, 3 Solution: (a) d 2y dx 2 (b) 3, 3 1 1 dy 3 x 4 0 , are respectively dx (c) 2, 6 d 2y (d) 2, 4 which is the 2nd order derivative. Hence order of the dx 2 differential equation is 2. Making the above equation free from radical, as far as the derivatives are concerned, we have The highest order derivative involved is 3 3 ID Example: 2 E3 dy dy i.e., (x 2 a 2 ) 2 xy y2 b2 0 dx dx In this equation, the power of highest order derivative is 2. So its degree is 2. U 1 1 d 2y d 2y dy dy 4 4 x i.e. x 0 dx 2 dx 2 dx dx Example: 3 The degree of the differential equation (a) 1 Solution: (d) dx 2 will be 3. Hence degree of the differential equation is 3. 2 d 2y d 2y dy 2 3 x log dx 2 is dx 2 dx (b) 2 (c) 3 Solution: (c) The order of the differential equation whose solution is x 2 y 2 2 gx 2 fy c 0, is (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 To eliminate the arbitrary constants g, f and c, we need 3 more equations, that by differentiating the ST equation 3 times. Hence highest order derivative will be Example: 5 Solution: (a) (d) None of these d 2y The above equation cannot be written as a polynomial in derivatives due to the term x 2 log 2 . dx Hence degree of the differential equation is ‘not defined’. U Example: 4 d 2y D YG The exponent of highest order derivative d 3y. Hence order of the differential dx 3. equation will be 3. The order of the differential equation of all circles of radius r, having centre on y-axis and passing through the origin is (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 2 The equation of the circle will be x 2 y r r 2. Hence the constant to be eliminated is r. order of differential equation =1 Y Y O (0, r) O X X (0, – r) 396 Differential Equations Example: 6 The order of the differential equation, whose general solution is y c1e x c 2 e 2 x c3 e 3 x c4 e x c 5 , where c1 , c2 , c3 , c4 , c5 are arbitrary constants is Solution: (c) (a) 5 (b) 4 Rewriting the given general solution, we have (c) 3 (d) None of these y c1 e x c 2 e 2 x c 3 e 3 x c 4 e x.e c5 (c 1 c 4.e c5 ) e x c 2 e 2 x c 3 e 3 x c1 e x c 2 e 2 x c 3 e 3 x 60 where c 1 c 1 c 4.e c5. So there are 3 arbitrary constant associated with different terms. Hence the order of the differential equation formed, will be 3. The degree of the differential equation satisfying (a) 1 Solution: (a) (b) 2 (c) 3 2 dy will be1. Hence degree is dx 3 1 dy 1 dy dy ....... is 3 ! dx dx 2 ! dx ID The order and degree of y 1 (a) 1, 2 (b) 1, 1 (c) Order 1, degree not defined (d) The given differential equation can be re-written as y e dy dx ln y U Solution: (b) (d) None of these To eliminate a the above equation is differentiated once and exponent of 1 Example: 8 1 x 2 + 1 y 2 = a( x y ) is E3 Example: 7 None of these dy dx This is a polynomial in derivative. Hence order is 1 and degree 1. The order and degree of d 2y 2 dy sin x is dx D YG Example: 9 dx (a) 2, 1 (b) Order 2, degree not defined (c) 2, 0 Solution: (b) As the highest order derivative involved is (d) None of these 2 d y dx 2. Hence order is 2. The given differential equation cannot be written as a polynomial in derivatives, the degree is not defined. U 8.2 Formation of Differential Equation. ST Formulating a differential equation from a given equation representing a family of curves means finding a differential equation whose solution is the given equation. If an equation, representing a family of curves, contains n arbitrary constants, then we differentiate the given equation n times to obtain n more equations. Using all these equations, we eliminate the constants. The equation so obtained is the differential equation of order n for the family of given curves. Consider a family of curves f (x , y, a1 , a 2....., a n ) 0......(i) where a1 , a 2 ,...... a n are n independent parameters. Equation (i) is known as an n parameter family of curves e.g. y = mx is a one-parameter family of straight lines. x 2 y 2 ax by 0 is a two parameters family of circles. If we differentiate equation (i) n times w.r.t. x, we will get n more relations between x , y, a1 , a 2 ,.....an and derivatives of y w.r.t. x. By eliminating a1 , a 2 ,...., an from these n relations and equation (i), we get a differential equation. Differential Equations 397 Clearly order of this differential equation will be n i.e. equal to the number of independent parameters in the family of curves. Algorithm for formation of differential equations Step (i) : Write the given equation involving independent variable x (say), dependent variable y (say) and the arbitrary constants. 60 Step (ii) : Obtain the number of arbitrary constants in step (i). Let there be n arbitrary constants. Step (iii) : Differentiate the relation in step (i) n times with respect to x. Differential equation whose general solution is y c1 x (a) Solution: (d) d 2 y x 2 dy 0 y dx dx 2 y c1 x (b) d 2y y dy 0 dx 2 x 2 dx c2 for all values of c1 and c 2 is x (c) d 2y 1 dy 0 dx 2 2 x dx ID Example: 10 E3 Step (iv) : Eliminate arbitrary constants with the help of n equations involving differential coefficients obtained in step (iii) and an equation in step (i). The equation so obtained is the desired differential equation. c2 x (d) d 2 y 1 dy y 0 dx 2 x dx x 2.....(i) D YG U There are two arbitrary constants. To eliminate these constants, we need to differentiate (i) twice.

(1) Solution of differential equations : If we have a differential equation of order ‘n’ then by solving a differential equation we mean to get a family of curves with n parameters whose differential equation is the given differential equation. Solution or integral of a differential equation is a relation between the variables, not involving the differential coefficients such that this relation and the derivatives obtained from it satisfy the given differential equation. The solution of a differential equation is also called its primitive. For example y e x is a solution of the differential equation dy y. dx (i) General solution : The solution which contains as many as arbitrary constants as the order of the differential equation is called the general solution of the differential equation. For Differential Equations 399 example, y A cos x B sin x is the general solution of the differential equation d 2y y 0. But dx 2 y A cos x is not the general solution as it contains one arbitrary constant. (ii) Particular solution : Solution obtained by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants in the general solution of a differential equation is called a particular solution. For d 2y y 0 dx 2 60 example, y 3 cos x 2 sin x is a particular solution of the differential equation E3 (2) Differential equations of first order and first degree : A differential equation of first dy order and first degree involves x, y and. So it can be put in any one of the following forms: dx dy dy f (x , y) or f x , y, 0 or f (x , y ) dx g(x , y ) dy 0 where f (x , y ) and g( x , y ) are obviously the dx dx functions of x and y. ID (3) Geometrical interpretation of the differential equations of first order and first dy degree : The general form of a first order and first degree differential equation is f x , y, 0 dx U.....(i) D YG We know that the direction of the tangent of a curve in Cartesian rectangular coordinates at dy any point is given by , so the equation in (i) can be known as an equation which establishes dx dy the relationship between the coordinates of a point and the slope of the tangent i.e., to the dx integral curve at that point. Solving the differential equation given by (i) means finding those curves for which the direction of tangent at each point coincides with the direction of the field. All the curves represented by the general solution when taken together will give the locus of the differential equation. Since there is one arbitrary constant in the general solution of the curves. U equation of first order, the locus of the equation can be said to be made up of single infinity of ST (4) Solution of first order and first degree differential equations : A first order and first degree differential equation can be written as f(x, y)dx + g(x, y)dy = 0 or dy f (x , y ) dy or (x , y ) dx g(x , y )' dx Where f (x , y ) and g( x , y ) are obviously the functions of x and y. It is not always possible to solve this type of equations. The solution of this type of differential equations is possible only when it falls under the category of some standard forms. (5) Equations in variable separable form : If the differential equation of the form f1 (x )dx f2 (y )dy.....(i) 400 Differential Equations where f1 and f2 being functions of x and y only. Then we say that the variables are separable in the differential equation. Thus, integrating both sides of (i), we get its solution as f1 (x )dx f2 (y )dy C , where c is an arbitrary constant. 60 There is no need of introducing arbitrary constants to both sides as they can be combined together to give just one. dy f(x) dx E3 (i) Differential equations of the type To solve this type of differential equations we integrate both sides to obtain the general dy solution as discussed following : f (x ) dy f (x ) dx dx (ii) Differential equations of the type ID dy f (x ) dx C or y f (x) dx C. Integrating both sides, we obtain, dy f (y ) dx U To solve this type of differential equations we integrate both sides to obtain the general D YG solution as discussed following : dy dx 1 1 f (y ) dx dy dx dy f (y ) f (y ) Integrating both sides, we obtain, 1 dx f (y) dy C or x 1 f (y) dy C.

(1) Homogeneous differential equation : A function f(x, y) is called a homogeneous function of degree n if f (x , y ) n f (x , y). U For example, f (x , y) x 2 y 2 3 xy is a homogeneous function of degree 2, because f (x , y ) 2 x 2 2 y 2 3x. y 2 f (x , y). A homogeneous function f(x, y) of degree n can always be written D YG x y f (x , y) x n f or f (x , y ) y n f . If a first-order first degree differential equation is x y f (x , y ) dy expressible in the form where f(x, y) and g(x, y) are homogeneous functions of the dx g(x , y ) as same degree, then it is called a homogeneous differential equation. Such type of equations can be reduced to variable separable form by the substitution y vx. The given differential equation dy x n f (y / x ) f (y / x ) dy dv y n F . If y vx , then. Substituting the vx dx g y x x ( / ) dx dx x g(y / x ) U can be written as dv dv dx dy y F(v) . On integration, F , we get v x dx F(v) v x dx x ST value of 1 F(v) v dv dx C x where C is an arbitrary constant of integration. After integration, v will be replaced by y in x complete solution. (2) Algorithm for solving homogeneous differential equation Step (i) : Put the differential equation in the form dy (x , y) dx (x , y) dy dv in the equation in step (i) and cancel out x from the v x dx dx dv right hand side. The equation reduces to the form v x F(v). dx Step (ii) : Put y = vx and Step (iii) : Shift v on RHS and separate the variables v and x Differential Equations 403 Step (iv) : Integrate both sides to obtain the solution in terms of v and x. Step (v) : Replace v by y in the solution obtained in step (iv) to obtain the solution in terms x of x and y.

Replacing X and Y in the solution so obtained by x h and y k respectively, we can obtain the required solution in terms of x and y.

Such a multiplier is called an integrating factor. (4) Working rule for solving an exact differential equation : Step (i) : Compare the given equation with Mdx + Ndy = 0 and find out M and N. Then find M N M N out and. If , the given equation is exact. y x y x ST Step (ii) : Integrate M with respect to x treating y as a constant. Step (iii) : Integrate N with respect to y treating x as constant and omit those terms which have been already obtained by integrating M. Step (iv) : On adding the terms obtained in steps (ii) and (iii) and equating to an arbitrary constant, we get the required solution.
