2 Second Order Linear ODE: Aim: To Discuss Discuss
1) If y1(t) and y2(t) are two independent (fundamental) solutions of (2), then
y(t) = c1 y1(t) + c2 y2(t), for any c1, c2 ÎR, (3)
is also a solution ( So, (3) forms general solution of (2) ).
2) If y(t) = u(t) + i v(t) is a complex valued solution of (2), then both
y1(t) = u(t) and y2(t) = v(t) are real valued solutions of (2).
y(0)= 4 Þ c1 + c 2 = 4
Þ c1= 1, c2 = 3
y'(0)= 0 Þ -3c1 + c2 = 0
• In the MOVP the parameters c1 and c2 are made to vary. Hence we set
yp(t) = u1(t) y1(t) + u2(t) y2(t),
and choose u1(t) and u2(t) such that yp(t) solves the given NH-eq.
