5 Theorderof a Differential equation is the highest orderderivative occurring. Asolution(orparticular solution) of a Differential equa-tion of ordernconsists of a function defined andntimes differentiable on adomainDhaving the property that the functional equation obtained by substi-tuting the function and itsnderivatives into the Differential equation holds forevery point example of a Differential equation of order 4, 2, and 1 isgiven respectively by(dydx)3+d4ydx4+y= 2 sin(x) + cos3(x), 2z x2+ 2z y2= 0,yy = 1. 12 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTIONE xample functiony= sin(x) is a solution of(dydx)3+d4ydx4+y= 2 sin(x) + cos3(x)on domainR; the functionz=excos(y) is a solution of 2z x2+ 2z y2= 0on domainR2; the functiony= 2 xis a solution ofyy = 2on domain (0, ).

6 Although it is possible for adeto have a unique solution, ,y= 0 is thesolution to (y )2+y2= 0, or no solution at all, , (y )2+y2= 1 has nosolution, mostde s have infinitely many functiony= 4x+Con domain ( C/4, ) is a solutionofyy = 2 for any constantC. Note that different solutions can have different domains. The set of allsolutions to adeis call itsgeneral Sample Application of Differential EquationsA typical application of Differential Equations proceeds along these lines:Real World Situation Mathematical Model Solution of Mathematical Model Interpretation of SAMPLE APPLICATION OF Differential EQUATIONS3 Sometimes in attempting to solve ade, we might perform an irreversiblestep.

7 This might introduce extra solutions. If we can get a short list whichcontains all solutions, we can then test out each one and throw out the invalidones. The ultimate test is this:does it satisfy the equation?Here is a sample application of Differential half-life of radium is 1600 years, , it takes 1600 years forhalf of any quantity to decay. If a sample initially contains 50 g, how long willit be until it contains 45 g? (t) be the amount of radium present at timetin years. The rateat which the sample decays is proportional to the size of the sample at thattime. Therefore we know thatdx/dt=kx.

8 This Differential equation is ourmathematical model. Using techniques we will study in this course (see ,Chapter3), we will discover that the general solution of this equation is givenby the equationx=Aekt, for some constantA. We are told thatx= 50 whent= 0 and so substituting givesA= 50. Thusx= 50ekt. Solving fortgivest= ln(x/50)/k. Withx(1600) = 25, we have 25 = 50e1600k. Therefore,1600k= ln(12)= ln(2),giving usk= ln(2)/1600. Whenx= 45, we havet=ln(x/50)k=ln(45/50) ln(2)/1600= 1600 ln(8/10)ln(2)= 1600 ln(10/8)ln(2) 1600 1600 , it will be approximately years until the sample contains 45 gof radium.

9 Additional conditions required of the solution (x(0) = 50 in the above ex-ample) are calledboundary conditionsand a Differential equation together withboundary conditions is called aboundary-value problem(BVP). Boundary con-ditions come in many forms. For example,y(6) =y(22);y (7) = 3y(0);y(9) = 5are all examples of boundary conditions. Boundary-value problems, like the onein the example, where the boundary condition consists of specifying the valueof the solution at some point are also calledinitial-value problems(IVP).Example analogy from algebra is the equationy= y+ 2.( )4 CHAPTER 1.

10 INTRODUCTIONTo solve fory, we proceed asy 2 = y,(y 2)2=y,(irreversible step)y2 4y+ 4 =y,y2 5y+ 4 = 0,(y 1) (y 4) = , the sety {1,4}contains all the solutions. We quickly see thaty= 4satisfies Equation ( ) because4 = 4 + 2 = 4 = 2 + 2 = 4 = 4,whiley= 1 does not because1 = 1 + 2 = 1 = we accepty= 4 and rejecty= 1. Chapter 2 First Order OrdinaryDifferential EquationsThe complexity of solvingde s increases with the order. We begin with firstorderde Separable EquationsA first orderodehas the formF(x, y, y ) = 0. In theory, at least, the methodsof algebra can be used to write it in the form y =G(x, y).
