Mathematical Methods for Physics II/Assignment 5– Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) 1

Course name: Mathematical Methods for Physics II


Course code: PH3163/PH6733, August 2024 semester
Instructor: Bijay Kumar Agarwalla

1: Solve the following first order linear differential equation:


2 2
z ′ − z = x4
x 3
Ans: z(x) = cx2 + 29 x5 .

2: Solve the following


y ′ + y = sin x
Ans: y(x) = ce−x + 21 sin x − 12 cos x

3: Consider the following ODE


ẍ − 6ẋ + 9x = 0
with initial condition x(π) = 1, ẋ(π) = 2 and solve it in three different ways:
(i) using a trial solution of eλt type.
(ii) using Laplace transformation technique
(iii) convert the above ODE as a two first order differential equation and and express it in
a matrix form as
ẋ(t) = Ax(t) + f (1)
where x is a column vector with two elements x1 , x2 and A is 2 × 2 matrix. In order to solve
you need to know how to compute exponential of a 2 × 2 matrix.

4: Solve the following inhomogeneous linear ODE following Laplace transformation technique

y ′′ − 2y ′ + y = f (x)

5: Solve the following set of equations

y ′ − 2y + z = 0
z ′ − y − 2z = 0 (2)

subject to initial conditions y(0) = 1, z(0) = 0.


Ans: z = e2t sin t

6: Determine the nature of the singularity at x = 0, 1, ∞ for the ODE

x(1 − x)y ′′ + [c − (a + b + 1)x]y ′ − aby = 0
