FORMATION OF ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Differential Equations have been the key to unlocking the nature deepest secrets. Over 300 years ago, Sir
Isaac Newton invented differential equations to understand the problem of motion and he developed
Calculus in order to solve differential equations. Differential equations have been the essential tool for
analyzing the process of change whether in Physics, Engineering, Biology and any other field where it’s
important to predict how something behaves over time. Differential equations assume a basic knowledge
of Calculus to find its solution. The main objective of this subject is to formation of mathematical model
using differential equations and solving it in various techniques and observes the behavior of this solution.
Differential equation is mainly concerned with the qualitative aspects of solution. That is “How does
solution behaves”.
Examples:
dy dy u u
1. = f ( x) 2. = f ( x, y ) 3.x + y =u
dx dx x y
The first two equations contain ordinary derivative of one or more dependent variables with respect to a
single independent variable x and are known as Ordinary differential equation (ODE). The third equation
involve the partial derivatives of one dependent variable u and two independent variables x and y
respectively is called Partial differential equation (PDE).
Applications of First-order Differential Equations to Real World Systems:

Differential Co-efficient:
dy
Differential coefficient means the changing rate of y in terms of x.
dx
There are two types of differential coefficient such as:
1.Ordinary differential coefficient:

The differential coefficient of a function with respect to one independent variable is called ordinary
differential coefficient.
For Example:
dy d 2 y d 3 y dny
, , , ,
dx dx 2 dx3 dx n

Page 5 of 249
2. Partial differential coefficient:

The differential coefficient of a function with respect to more than one independent variable is called Partial
differential coefficient.
For Example:
u u  2 u
, , etc
x y xy
Differential Equation:
An equation involving derivatives of one or more dependent variables with respect to one or more
independent variables is called a differential equation.
Example: For examples of differential equation, we list the following:

d 2 y dy
1. + +y=0
dx 2 dx
d 4u d 2u
2. + 5 + 3u = sin t
dt 4 dt 2
 2u  2u  2u
3. + + =0
x 2 y 2 z 2
u v
4. + =v
s t
Notation for derivatives / differential Coefficients:
1. Leibnitz notation:
dy d 2 y d 3 y dny
, , , ,
dx dx 2 dx3 dx n
2. Prime/Dash notation:
y, y, y, y iv , , yn
3. Newton Dot notation:
y, y, y ,......etc , Here dot means the time derivative.
4. Subscript notation:
ux , uxx , ut , utt ,................etc.
Order of Differential Equation:
The order of a differential equation (either ODE or PDE) is the order of the highest order derivative involved
in a differential equation. In other words, the order is a number how many times it is differentiated.
For example:
3
d2y  dy 
+ 5   + 4 y = 3e x
 dx 
2
dx
Above differential equation is of order 2.
Degree of Differential Equation:
The degree of a differential equation is the power or degree of the highest differential coefficient when the
equation has been made rational that means equations free from radicals and fractions.
3
d2y  dy 
+ 5   + 4 y = 3e x
 dx 
2
dx
The degree of the above differential equation is 1, since the power of the highest order derivative is 1.

Solutions of differential equations:

If any differential equation be satisfied by any defined and differentiable function, then the function is called
solution of the differential equation.
𝑑𝑦
Example: 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑥 is satisfied by 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑐. So 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑐 is a solution of given
differential equation.
General Solution of DE:
The relation between dependent and independent variable containing n arbitrary constants which satisfies
an DE of order n is called its complete primitive or general solution. Geometrically general solution
represents a family of parallel curves.
For example:
𝑑𝑦
𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑐 is a solution of given differential equation 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑥 .
Particular Solution of DE:
A particular solution of DE is one obtained from the primitive by assigning definite values to the arbitrary
constant.
For example:
𝑑𝑦
𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2 is a solution of given differential equation 𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑥 .
Singular Solution of DE:
A Singular solution of DE is special one which not obtained from the primitive by assigning definite values
to the arbitrary constant and it is free from arbitrary constant.
𝑑𝑦 2
For example: y=0 is the singular solution is the equation (𝑑𝑥 ) = 𝑦 .
Explicit solution: If the function 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) is the solution of a differential equation of variables 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦,
then the solution is called explicit solution.
𝑑2 𝑦
Example: 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵 is an explicit solution of 𝑑𝑥 2 = 6𝑥. where 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 are arbitrary constants.
Implicit solution: If the function 𝐹(𝑥, 𝑦) = 0 is the solution of a differential equation of variables 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦,
then the solution is called implicit solution.
Example: 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑐 is an implicit solution of 2𝑥𝑑𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑑𝑦 = 0. Where 𝑐 an arbitrary constant.
Classification of Differential Equation:
1. Classification based on type:
Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE):
An equation together with ordinary differential coefficient/derivative is called ODE.
Or
A differential equation involving derivatives of one or more dependent variables with respect to only one
independent variable is called an ordinary differential equation.
d2 y dy
Example: 1. 2
+2 + y =0
dx dx
3
d y d2y
2. 3 + 5 2 + 2 y = sin x
dx dx
Partial Differential Equation (PDE):
An equation together with partial differential coefficient/derivative is called PDE.
Or
A differential equation involving derivatives of one or more dependent variables with respect to more than
one independent variable is called a partial differential equation.
u v  2u  2u
Example: 1. + =v 2. + =0
s t x 2 y 2

2. Classification based on order:

1.First order
2.Second Order
3. Higher Order
3. Classification based on Linearity:
Linear ordinary differential equation: An ordinary differential equation of order n is called a linear
ordinary differential equation of order n if it does not contain,
1. the transcendental functions of dependent variable
2. the product of dependent variable
3. No product of dependent variables and its derivatives
4. The dependent variable and all its derivatives are of the first degree i.e. the power of each term
involving is 𝑦 is 1.
It can be expressed as
dny d n −1 y dy
a0 ( x ) n
+ a1 ( x ) n −1
+ ... ... ... + an −1 ( x ) + an ( x ) y = b ( x )
dx dx dx
where, a0 is not identically zero.
For example:
𝑑3 𝑦 𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥 3
+ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 − 5𝑦 = 0 → Linear third order ordinary differential equation
Nonlinear ordinary differential equation: A nonlinear ordinary differential equation is an ordinary
differential equation that is not linear.

Differential equation of First order and first degree
Differential equation of First order and first degree

Definition:
dy
A differential equation of the type M + N = 0 , where M and N are functions of x and y or constants
dx
is called a differential equation of the first order and first degree.
There are two standard forms of differential equations of first order and first degree as
dy
❖ = f ( x, y )
dx
❖ M ( x, y ) dx + N ( x, y ) dy = 0
We classify the first order and first-degree differential equation followings eight categories according to its
solution Method:
❖ Equation of variable separable form
❖ Equation reducible to variable separable form
❖ Homogeneous Differential Equation
❖ Equation reducible to Homogeneous form
❖ Linear differential equation
❖ Equation reducible to linear differential equation (Bernoulli’s Equation)
❖ Exact differential equation
❖ Equation reducible to exact differential equation
◊◊ Equation of variable Separable form:
The process of reducing the first order and first-degree differential equation
M ( x, y ) dx + N ( x, y ) dy = 0 to the form f1 ( x) dx = f 2 ( y) dy or f1 ( x) dx + f 2 ( y) dy = 0 , where
f1 ( x) is a function of x only and f2 ( y) is a function of y only, is called the separation of variables. In
others way an equation of the form F ( x ) G( y)dx + f ( x ) g ( y)dy = 0 is called an equation with variables
separable or simply a separable equation.
Such a variable separable equation f1 ( x) dx = f 2 ( y ) dy or f1 ( x) dx + f 2 ( y ) dy = 0 are solved by
integrating both-sides directly and adding an arbitrary constant of integration to any one of the two sides.
Thus the solution of f1 ( x) dx = f 2 ( y) dy is  f ( x)dx =  f
1 2 ( y )dy + C where C is an arbitrary constant.
Note:
There is no need to use two constants in the integration of a separable equation because difference of
constants can be replaced by a single constant that is solution of first order and first-degree equation contain
only one arbitrary constant. It is to keep in mind that to simplify the solution of above-mentioned equation,
C
the constant of integration C can be selected in any suitable form as , log C , tan C , tan −1 C , eC etc

.Sometimes transformation to the polar coordinates facilitates separation of variables. So it is convenient to

remember the following differentials. If x = r cos and y = r sin  then
• xdx + ydy = rdr
• xdx − ydy = r 2 d
• dx 2 + dy 2 = dr 2 + r 2 d 2

◊◊Exact differential equation:
A differential equation Mdx + Ndy = 0 where both M and N are function of x and y is said to be exact
when there exist a function F(x,y) such that Mdx + Ndy = dF that is Mdx + Ndy becomes a perfect
differential.
Method of solving exact differential equation:
(i) Integrate M with respect to x regarding y as constant.
(ii) Find out those terms in N which are free from x and integrate them with respect to y .
(iii) Add the two expressions so obtained and equate the sum to an arbitrary constant.
(iv) Finally we obtained the desired solution like as

► State and prove the necessary and sufficient condition for M dx + N dy = 0 to be exact.
Assume an exact differential equation is M dx + N dy = 0 .
Therefore M dx + N dy = du (i ) where u is a function of x , y .

But we have du ( x , y ) = dx + dy (ii )

Page 107 of 249
But it can be reduced to an exact differential equation by multiplying a function of x and y, which is called

dx dx
Solution:
Given non-homogeneous differential equation is
d2y dy
2
− 2 + 5 y = 5cos x
dx dx
D 2 y − 2 Dy + 5 y = 5cos x
(D 2

Therefore, the complementary function of the given differential equation is
yc = e1. x ( c1 cos 2 x + c2 sin 2 x )
= e x ( c1 cos 2 x + c2 sin 2 x )
Now particular Integral is

Introduction:
The Laplace Transform is a powerful Mathematical tool that is very useful in Electrical
Engineering. It is an operation that transforms a function of t (i.e., a function of time domain-
signal), defined on [0, ∞), to a function of s (i.e., of frequency domain-Laplace transform). The
Laplace transform provides a useful method of solving certain types of differential equations and
integral equations when certain initial and Boundary conditions are given, especially when the
initial values are zero. It is also very useful in the area of circuit analysis. It is often easier to
analyse the circuit in its Laplace form (By transfer function), than to form differential equations.
The techniques of Laplace transform are not only used in circuit analysis, but also in
• Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers
• DC motor speed control systems
• DC motor position control systems
• Second order systems of differential equations (underdamped, over-damped and critically
damped)
• Laplace Transform is used to handle piecewise continuous or impulsive force.
For example:
For the design of a control system, it is important to know how the system of interest behaves and
how it responds to different controller designs. To do this, the dynamic equations of the system
are obtained and are solved to get the dynamic response. There are three different domains within
which the dynamic response of a system is studied for the purpose of control design. These are the
Laplace domain, the frequency domain and the state-space. This module provides an introduction
to the Laplace domain and covers the mathematics of the Laplace transform.
Definition: Let 𝑭(𝑡) be a function of 𝑡 specified for 𝑡 ≥ 0. Then the Laplace transform of𝑭(𝑡),
denoted byℒ{𝑭(𝑡)}, and is defined by
∞
ℒ{𝑭(𝑡)} = 𝑓(𝑠) = ∫ 𝑒 −𝑠𝑡 𝑭(𝑡)𝑑𝑡

0
where we assume at present that the parameter 𝑠 is real. Later it will be found useful to consider
𝑠 complex.
The Laplace transform of 𝑭(𝑡) is said to exist if the integral (1) converges for some value of 𝑠;
otherwise it does not exist. For sufficient condition under which the Laplace Transform does
exist.
L F (t )
F(t) f(s)
L −1  f (s)

Page 163 of 249
Notation: If a function of t is indicated in terms of a capital letter, such as 𝑭(𝑡), 𝑮(𝑡), 𝒀(𝑡), etc.,
the Laplace transform of the function is denoted by the corresponding lower case letter, i.e.
𝑓(𝑠), 𝑔(𝑠), 𝑦(𝑠), etc.
Laplace operator: The symbol L which transforms 𝑭(𝑡) into 𝑓(𝑠) is often called the Laplace
transformation operator and L is a linear operator. Laplace transform can only be used to transform
variables that cover a range from “zero (0)” to infinity, (∞), that is: 0 < t < ∞. Any variable that
does not vary within this range cannot be transformed using Laplace transform. Because time
variable t is most common variable that varies from (0 to ∞), functions with variable t are
commonly transformed by Laplace transform.
Section-ally continuous function:
A function f ( x ) is called section-ally continuous or Piecewise continuous if any interval  a, b if
it is continuous and has finite left and right hand limits in every subinterval  ai , bi  , i = 1, 2,3,....., n
as shown in the following figure.
Function of exponential order:

A function f ( x ) is said to be of exponential order ‘a’ as x →  if lim e− a x f ( x) = finite quantity
x→
.Sometimes we write it as f ( x) = O ( e ax
) ,x →.
Application of Laplace Transformation:
1. Laplace transformation turns differential equation into an algebraic equation.
2. It has also an application in solving the electronic circuit equations.
Beside of these the Laplace transformation technique is applicable in many fields of science
and technology such as:
❖ Control Engineering
❖ Communication
❖ Signal Analysis and Design
❖ System Analysis
❖ Solving Differential Equations
Existence of Laplace transform:
If F (t) is section-ally continuous in every finite interval 0  t  N and of exponential order  for
t  N , then its Laplace transformation f (s) exists for all s   .It must be emphasized that the
stated conditions are sufficient to guarantee the existence of the Laplace transform. If the condition

Page 164 of 249
are not satisfied however the Laplace transform may or may not exist. Thus the conditions are not
necessary for existence of the Laplace transform.

THE INVERSE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
Definition: If the Laplace Transform of a function 𝐹(𝑡) is 𝑓(𝑠), i.e. if ℒ{𝐹(𝑡)} = 𝑓(𝑠), then
𝐹(𝑡) is called an inverse Laplace transform of 𝑓(𝑠) and we write symbolically 𝐹(𝑡) =
ℒ −1 {𝑓(𝑠)} where ℒ −1 is called the inverse Laplace transformation operator.

Methods of Finding Inverse Laplace Transforms
1. Partial Fractions Method: Any Rational Function 𝑃(𝑠)/𝑄(𝑠) where 𝑃(𝑠) and 𝑄(𝑠) are
polynomials, with the degree of 𝑃(𝑠) less than that of 𝑄(𝑠), can be written as the sum of rational
functions [ called partial fractions] having the form
𝐴 𝐴𝑠 + 𝐵
,
(𝑎𝑠 + 𝑏)𝑟 (𝑎𝑠 2 + 𝑏𝑠 + 𝑐)𝑟
where𝑟 = 1,2,3, … By finding the inverse Laplace transform of each the partial fractions, we can
find
𝑃(𝑠)
ℒ −1 { }
𝑄(𝑠)
2. Series methods: If 𝑓(𝑠) has a series expansion in inverse powers of 𝑠 given by

𝑎0 𝑎1 𝑎2 𝑎3
𝑓(𝑠) = + + + +⋯
𝑠 𝑠2 𝑠3 𝑠4
then under suitable conditions we can invert term by term to obtain
𝑎2 𝑡 2 𝑎3 𝑡 3 𝑎4 𝑡 4
𝐹(𝑡) = 𝑎0 + 𝑎1 𝑡 + + + +⋯
2! 3! 4!
3. The Heaviside Expansion Formula:
Let 𝑃(𝑠) and 𝑄(𝑠) be polynomials where 𝑃(𝑠) has degree less than that of 𝑄(𝑠). Suppose that
𝑄(𝑠) has 𝑛 distinct zeros

Applications to Differential Equations

One of the applications of Laplace transformation to convert the initial value problems and boundary
problems into an algebraic equation that means solve the differential equations.
Let us consider ℒ{𝑌(𝑡)} = 𝑦(𝑠) then we have the Laplace transformation of n-th derivative of 𝑌(𝑡) is as
follows:
L Y ( n ) (t ) = s n y ( s) − s n −1Y (0) − s n −2Y (0) − − sY n − 2 (0) − Y n −1 (0)
Method of Solving Differential Equation:

It is performed in four steps
1. First Take Laplace transformation on both-sides of the Differential
equation.
2. Put the Initial conditions into the resulting equations.
3. Express y in terms of S (i.e. Solve for the output variable.)

Page 193 of 249
4. Finally taking inverse Laplace transform operator if needed on both-

sides and simplify it to get solution.
Note: Ordinary Differential equations with variable coefficients

A particular differential equation where the method proves useful is one in which the terms have the

01. Find the solution of 𝝏𝒙 = 𝟐 𝝏𝒕 + 𝑼, 𝑼(𝒙, 𝟎) = 𝟔 𝒆−𝟑𝒙 which is bounded for
𝒙 > 0, 𝑡 > 0, using Laplace Transform.
Solution: Taking the Laplace transform of the given partial differential equation with respect
to 𝑡, we get
𝑑𝑢 𝑑𝑢
= 2{𝑠𝑢 − 𝑈(𝑥, 0)} + 𝑢 or 𝑑𝑥 − (2𝑠 + 1)𝑢 = −12 𝑒 −3𝑥 …………(1)
𝑑𝑥
which is an ordinary differential equation.
To solve (1) multiply both sides by the integrating factor 𝑒 ∫ −(2𝑠+1)𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒 −(2𝑠+1)𝑥 .
Then (1) can be written as
𝑑
{𝑢𝑒 −(2𝑠+1)𝑥 } = −12 𝑒 −(2𝑠+4)𝑥
𝑑𝑥
−12 6
⇒ 𝑢𝑒 −(2𝑠+1)𝑥 = −12 ∫ 𝑒 −(2𝑠+4)𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒 −(2𝑠+4)𝑥 + 𝑐 = 𝑒 −(2𝑠+4)𝑥 + 𝑐

6
⇒𝑢= 𝑒 −3𝑥 + 𝑐𝑒 (2𝑠+1)𝑥

Now since 𝑈(𝑥, 𝑡) must be bounded as 𝑥 → ∞, we must have 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑠) also bounded as 𝑥 → ∞
and it follows that we must choose 𝑐 = 0. Then

𝑢 = ℒ{𝑈(𝑥, 𝑡)} = 𝑒 −3𝑥

⇒ 𝑈(𝑥, 𝑡) = ℒ −1 { 𝑒 −3𝑥 } = 6𝑒 −2𝑡 𝑒 −3𝑥 = 6𝑒 −2𝑡−3𝑥

FOURIER TRANSFORMATION
The Fourier Transform is a tool that breaks a waveform (a function or signal) into an alternate
representation, characterized by sine and cosines. The Fourier Transform shows that any waveform can be
re-written as the sum of sinusoidal functions.
Also it is an important image processing tool which is used to decompose an image into its sine
and cosine components. The output of the transformation represents the image in the Fourier or
frequency domain, while the input image is the spatial domain equivalent. In the Fourier domain
image, each point represents a particular frequency contained in the spatial domain image.
The Fourier Transform is used in a wide range of applications, such as image analysis, image
filtering, image reconstruction and image compression.

To satisfy the boundary condition U ( x,0) = 3sin  x − 2sin 5 x we have to consider

Glossary
Periodic function: Periodic function: A function 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) is called a periodic
function of period T if it satisfies the condition 𝑓(𝑥 + 𝑻) = 𝑓(𝑥) where T is least
positive real number. It means that the function 𝑓(𝑥) possess same values after
an interval T.
Example: 𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑥 is a periodic function with period 2π
Note:
1.The fundamental period of sinx, cosx, secx, cosecx is 2π and also tanx, cotx is
π.
2.The period of a function of the form 𝑦 = 𝐴 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒔𝑛 (𝐵𝑥 + 𝐶) is
obtained by dividing the of fundamental period of that function by the product
of coefficient of x and the power n.

That is, 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 = .

3. The period of the sum or subtraction of two functions is the LCM (Least
Common Multiple) of the individual periods.
Problem: Find the period of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = sin4 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4 𝑥 .
Solution:
Given function is,
𝑓(𝑥) = sin4 𝑥 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4 𝑥
𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 2𝜋 𝜋
Now the period of the function sin4 𝑥 is = 𝑛× 𝑐𝑜𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑥 = 4×1 = 2 .
Again,
𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 2𝜋 𝜋
Now the period of the function 𝑐𝑜𝑠 4 𝑥 is = = 4×1 = .

Therefore 𝑓(𝑥) is a periodic function with period 2 .

Even Function: A function 𝑓(𝑥) is said to be even function if 𝑓(− 𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥).
For example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛4 𝑥 is an even function.
Odd Function: A function 𝑓(𝑥) is said to be odd function if 𝑓(− 𝑥) = − 𝑓(𝑥).
For example: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛3 𝑥 is an odd function.
Drichlet’s Condition:
Let 𝑓(𝑥) satisfy the following conditions:

Page 222 of 249
1. 𝑓(𝑥) is defined in the interval − 𝑙 < 𝑥 < 𝑙

2. 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑓′(𝑥) are sectionally continuous in − 𝑙 < 𝑥 < 𝑙
3. 𝑓(𝑥 + 2𝑙) = 𝑓(𝑥), i.e. 𝑓(𝑥) is periodic with period 2𝑙.
Then at every point of continuity, we have

𝑓(𝑥) = + ∑∞

and 𝑏𝑛 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑥) sin 𝑙 𝑑𝑥 (3)
𝑙 −𝑙
The series (1) with coefficients (2) and (3) is called the Fourier Series of 𝑓(𝑥).
The above conditions are often called Dirichlet conditions and are sufficient
(but not necessary) conditions for convergence of Fourier Series.
Fourier Series
Fourier series of a function is to express the given function by a combination of
cosine and sine functions. The Fourier series is named in honor of Jean-Baptiste
Joseph Fourier (1768–1830), who made important contributions to the study of
trigonometric series, after preliminary investigations by Leonhard Euler, Jean le
Rond d'Alembert, and Daniel Bernoulli.
Fourier introduced the series for the purpose of solving the heat equation in a
metal plate, publishing his initial results in his 1807 (Treatise on the propagation
of heat in solid bodies), and publishing his (Analytical theory of heat) in 1822.
Application:
1. Fourier Series is used in sound processing.
2. Fourier Series is used in signal processing.
3. Fourier Series is used in image processing.
4. Fourier series is used to decompose a waveform into component waves of
different frequencies and Amplitude, allowing identification of different
sources from background or random noise in a signal.
5. Fourier Series is used to solve BVP such as Heat Flow, Laplace equation
and Vibrating System
