We are given a third-order linear differential equation with variable coefficient to solve. The equation is:
t3yt2y+2ty2y=0
We will solve this equation using the method of **power series**. Let us assume that the solution can be expressed as a power series in t:
y(t)=n=0antn
where an are constants to be determined. Differentiating this expression, we get:
y(t)=n=1nantn1
y(t)=n=2n(n1)antn2
y(t)=n=3n(n1)(n2)antn3
Now, substituting these expressions into the differential equation and simplifying, we get:
n=0antn+1[(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)(n+1)(n+2)+2(n+1)2]=0
which can be written as:
n=0antn+1[(n+1)2(n+2)(n+1)(n+2)+2(n+1)2]=0
Simplifying the coefficients, we get:
n=0antn+1(n+1)(n2+3n)=0
Multiplying out the terms, we get:
n=0antn+2n3+3antn+2n2=0
Equating the coefficients of like powers of t to zero, we get the following recurrence relation:
an+3=3an+2(n+2)(n+1)forn0
We can solve this recurrence relation by guessing a solution of the form an=cn and substituting it into the recurrence relation. This yields the characteristic equation:
c33c2+2c=0
which can be factored as:
c(c1)2=0
Hence, the general solution to the recurrence relation is given by:
an=A+Bn+Cn2
where A, B, and C are constants to be determined. Using the initial conditions, we can determine the values of these constants:
y(1)=a0+a1+a2+=a0+n=0an+1=a0+n=1antn=3
y(1)=a1+2a2+3a3+=n=0(n+1)an+1=2
y(1)=2a2+6a3+12a4+=n=0(n+2)(n+1)an+2=1
Substituting the expressions for an and simplifying, we get:
a0+32a3+154a4+=3
a1+4a2+152a3+=2
2a2+12a3+36a4+=1
Using the first equation to eliminate a0, and the third equation to eliminate a4, we get:
94a3+=332a3
2a2+12a3+=1
Solving these equations simultaneously, we get:
a2=724
a3=3281
Substituting these values back into the expression for an, we get:
an=3(1)n4·2n(n+22)7(1)n24(n+11)+3281δn3
where (nk) is the binomial coefficient, and δn3 is the Kronecker delta function.
Finally, substituting this expression for an into the expression for y(t), we get the solution to the differential equation:
y(t)=a0+a1t+a2t2+a3t3+=3724t2+3281t3+
Therefore, the solution to the differential equation with initial conditions y(1)=3, y(1)=2, and y(1)=1 is:
y(t)=3724t2+3281t3+
