This assignment for MATH2010 contains 5 questions regarding systems of ODEs, Laplace transforms, and an initial value problem arising from an RC circuit. Students are asked to find critical points and classify types of critical points for a nonlinear system of ODEs, experiment with the Lotka-Volterra system using different initial conditions, take the Laplace transform of a function, use Laplace transforms to solve an initial value problem, and take the Laplace transform of the solution to an initial value problem modeling an RC circuit. The assignment is out of 25 marks.

Q1) Consider the non-linear system of ODEs given by y10 = f1 (y1 , y2 ) = y1 + y2 + 3y1 y2 , y20 = f2 (y1 , y2 ) = 2y1 + y22 . Find all of the critical points of the system, calculate the linearized system about each of the critical points found and classify the type of critical point in each of the linearized systems. Plot a phase portrait for the non-linear system by hand. (5 Marks) Q2) Visit the website https://teaching.smp.uq.edu.au/scims/Appl_analysis/ Lotka_Volterra.html where you can investigate the solution to the a vari- ation of the Lotka-Volterra system in the phase portrait and with t on the horizontal axes. Remember that these trajectories are 3-dimensional. Ex- periment with various initial conditions. Hand in the results of four different initial conditions by taking a screen-shot or using the Windows snipping tools. (5 Marks) Q3) Find the Laplace transform of the function f (t) = t3 e2t + 4cos(5t). (5 Marks) Q4) Using Laplace transforms, solve the initial value problem y 0 = 2y + 3e−t , y(0) = 4, 0 dy where y = dt . Note: to check your work, this equation is linear so it is possible to solve using integrating factors also. (5 Marks) Q5) Consider the ODE arising from an RC circuit, (resistor and capacitor) and initial value problem
0 0 if t < 3, RCy + y = V (t), V (t) = R = 2, C = 1, y(0) = 4. 3 if t ≥ 3. and y denotes the voltage across the capacitor. Find the Laplace transform of the solution of this initial value problem. (5 Marks) E-mail address: .
