How to prove this equality with closed form?
An exercise I'm trying to solve gives us
and first asks us to prove that F(y) satisfies the ODE , then find the closed form of the ODE and lastly prove that:
using the closed form of the ODE.
I've gone through the first two and for the closed form I got .
But I'm having trouble with solving the last part of the exercise. With complex analysis, I can solve it, but I don't know what to do with the closed form. I'm sharing my original thoughts, but I get stuck:
First, I noticed that the last integral is the derivative of F(y):
Also: . Then:
Then I'd need to show and I get stuck here.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this even solvable this way? Should I approach it differently?
Find a matrix such that the systems are equivalent
Take the system
for
Find a constant matrix such that the above system is equivalent to
My first thought was to find a solution to . Taking the characteristic polynomial as , I get . Not really sure what to do at this point, however. Another way to solve this might be first to replace v' in the second equation with w to get but I'm not sure where to go from there either.
Emergence of Cauchy Principal value
I have a problem solving differential equation, where I think there should be a Cauchy Principal value involved, but I do not see how it it should emerge. Let's say we have a differential equation:
,
where all the variables are real and positive. If we now solve the differential equation, it needs only to carry out the time integral
.
So the problem is that if the last integral is not taken as principal value, it will give , so I would rather need it to be
where is the principal value. Would anyone have any idea where the principal value would emerge from, if at all? I was thinking maybe it has something to do when swapping the order of integrals in order to carry out the time integral first, but I am not sure.
Solving system of differential equations : Wolfram Alpha vs theorem
I am burning my brain finding the most correct way to solve a system of differential equations. Here is an example :
Let's . I use a matrix , calculate its eigen values and eigen vectors .
Now 2 options:
- I can use a theorem and find the solution is
- I can continue using linear algebra, calculate P, D and such that where D is a diagonal matrix. so
I don't find same results but both are OK (the second is used by Wolfram). Did I misunderstand something? Which one is the best option?
Solving a systemof eqns by given initial conditions
Which has the I.C. . So I take that it means this:
and then it is solved as any other system? We get eigenvector , but since the eigenvalues of the system are two, , we have to find the second generalized eigenvector.
So the second vector would be . Using the general solutions for the system, we get
Would this be correct, or did I misinterpret the initial conditions?
When you are dealing with any Calculus 2 homework, it is vital to have a look at the various questions and answers that will help you see whether you are correct in your approach to finding solutions. Even if you are dealing with analytical aspects of Calculus 2, it will be helpful as you are looking at provided equations and learn how the answers relate to original questions and problems specified.
Do not be afraid to take a look at the basic integration and related application if Calculus 2 does not sound clear or start with the Calculus 1 first.
