a. Initial Value Problem
a. Actual Solution
a. Homogeneous
An initial value problem is an ordinary differential
equation together with specified value, called the
initial condition, of the unknown function at a given
point in the domain of the solution
A weak solution (also called a generalized solution)
to an ordinary or partial differential equation is a
function for which the derivatives appearing in the
equation may not all exist but which is nonetheless
deemed to satisfy the equation in some precisely
defined sense.
An Initial Value Problem (or IVP) is a differential
equation along with an appropriate number of initial
conditions.
The actual solution to a differential equation is the
specific solution that not only satisfies the differential
equation, but also satisfies the given initial
condition(s).

Homogeneous is a differential equation that can be
written in the form y' = F(y/x). It is said to be
scaleable. By substituting for y/x the equation may
be made separable.
Differential Equation
A Differential Equation is one which contains within
at least one derivative or it is an equation involving
derivatives or differentials. Sometimes, for analytical
convenience, the differential equation is written in
terms of differentials.
There are two types of solution to an ordinary
differential equation. The first is the Particular
Solution in which it does not contain any arbitrary
constant. The 2nd is the General Solution in which
it contains at least one arbitrary constant.
The degree of a differential equation is the largest
power or exponent.

a. Order
An equation is a mathematical statement, in
symbols, that two things are exactly the same (or
equivalent).
An ordinary differential equation (or ODE) is a
relation that contains functions of only one
independent variable, and one or more of its
derivatives with respect to that variable.
Isaac Newton's invention invention of what we now
call Differential Equations has remained a
cornerstone of pure & applied science and the
subject is still generating new ideas.
The order of a differential equation is the highest
derivative that appears in the differential equation.
Integrating factor is a function by which a
differential equation is multiplied so that each side
may be recognized as a derivative (and then be
integrated)
Bernoulli is a first-order differential equation that
can be written in the form dy/dx + P(x)y = Q(x)yn. If
n = 0 or 1
then the equation is linear.
A differential equation in which the dependent and
independent variables can be algebraically
separated on
opposite sides of the equation is called separable.
A singular solution of a differential
equation is a particular solution which cannot be
found by substituting a value for C. There may be
one or several singular solutions for a differential
equation.
Boundary curve is a curve which is approached but
not crossed by the plot. Same as asymptotic curve
b. Linear
d. Quasi-linear
b. General solutions
c. Particular solutions
a. Singular solutions
a. Initial conditions
c. Boundary conditions
b. DDE
Constrains that are specified at the boundary points,
generally space points, are called boundary
conditions. Problems with specified boundary
conditions are called boundary value problems.
In general, delay differential equations ex-
hibit much more complicated dynamics than ordinary
differential equations since
a time delay could cause a stable equilibrium to
become unstable and cause the
populations to fluctuate.
For a non-linear differential equation, if there are no
multiplications among all dependent variables and
their derivatives in the highest derivative term, the
differential equation is considered to be quasi-linear.
Solutions obtained from integrating the differential
equations are called general solutions. The general
solution of a nth order ordinary differential equation
contains n arbitrary constants resulting from
integrating n times.
Particular solutions are the solutions obtained by
assigning specific values to the arbitrary constants in
the general solutions.
Solutions that can not be expressed by the general
solutions are called singular solutions.
Constrains that are specified at the initial point,
generally time point, are called initial conditions.
Problems with specified initial conditions are called
initial value problems.
A differential equation is called linear if there are no
multiplications among dependent variables and their
derivatives. In other words, all coefficients are
functions of independent variables.

a. 2y = -7x + c
b. Range - Kutta methods
c. x - x/2 = y/3 + C
simply integrate both sides, (1-
x)dx = ydy ;so
x - x/2 = y/3 + C ;Ans.
b. siny = Ccosx
solution: divide all terms by sin y cos x
sin x dx/cos x + cos y dy/sin y = 0 ; integrate:
sin x dx/cos x+cos y dy/sin y = In C -In(cos
x) + In(sin y) = In C thus: sin y =
C cos x ;Answer.
a. e + y = C
c. x = Cy
Two that are frequently used are Range - Kutta
methods.These method is similar to euller's method
except that it used 2nd order (parabola).
rearrange: xdx/e + dy/y = 0,
e-xdx + ydy = 0 ; integrate: -
e-(-2xdx) + ydy = 0
e- + y/-2 = C/-2 ; thus:
e- + y = C Answer
rearrange: 2dx/x = 3dy/y ;integrate: 2dx/x
= 3dy/y, 2 Inx = 3 Iny + In C Inx =
Iny + In C In =

x = Cy Ans
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are,
conceptually, ones where the the exogeneous
driving term is a stochatic process.
A differential-algebraic equation (DAE) is an
equation involving an unknown function and its
derivatives.
We simply need to subtract
7x dx from both sides, then insert integral signs and
integrate:
dy = -7xdx
dy = -7xdx ; therefore,
y = -7(x/2) + c ; and
2y = -7x + c ; answer.

d. r = C(1 - cos)
b. e = Cy(x + 2)
b. x + tany = C
Differential equations that involve two or more
independent variables are called partial differential
equations.
dr - b cos dr = br sin d , (1 -
b cos)dr = r(b sin d ), dr/r = b
sin d /1-b cos, dr/r =
b sin d /1 - b cos, In r =
In(1 - b cos) + In C, In r =
In C(1 - b cos) thus: r = C(1 -
cos) ;Ans.
xydx = (x + y)dy, xdx/(x + 2) = dy/y, x +
2/x = 1 r.-2, thus: (1 - 2/x +
2)dx = dy/y, (1 - 2/x + 2)dx
= dy/y, and so: x - 2In(x + 2) = In
y + In C, x = 2In(x + 2) + In
Cy(x + 2) thus: Cy(x + 2) = e or
e = Cy(x + 2) Ans.
xdx + tan y dy/cosy = 0, xdx
+ tan y secy dy = 0, xdx +
tan y sec dy = C/2, x/2 +
tany/2 = C/2 ; thus: x + tany
= C Answer.
rearrange: 2dx/x = 3dy/y ;integrate: 2dx/x
= 3dy/y, 2 Inx = 3 Iny + In C Inx =
Iny + In C In =
In(Cy) ; thus:
x = Cy Ans
dy/dx = xy ;thus dy/yxdx,
ydy = xdx, integrate: ydy = xdx
y/-1 = x/2 + C/2 y(x + C) = -2
; thus y(x + C)+2 = 0
Answer.
thus: dV/V = -dP/P, integrate: dV/V = -dP/P,
InV = -InP + In C, InV + InP = In C,
In(PV) = In C therefore: PV

and (independently of him) by Fontaine & Clairant
though some attribute them Leibniz
d. Ordinary DE
a. (-1/x)+2/x = (-1/y) + 1/y + C
To separate variables, divide by xy^4 so that, (x-
4)dx/x = (y-3)/y^4. this simplifies to (x -4x)dx =
(y^-2-3y^-4)dy. Integrating gives: (-1/x)+2/x = (-1/y)
+ 1/y + C
b. John Bernoulli
Jhon Bernoulli explained this method in 1694-1697
and he showed he showed how to reduced the
homogenous DE of the first order to one w/c the
variable were separable.
c. Euler's equation
Among the linear equations with the variable
coefficient the Euler's equation or Cauchy's equation
has been shown to be the more useful one in the
engineering applications .
Ordinary DE assumes a continous population
variable & does work well when there is a large
population of people. Much information canbe
obtained.
(secy - 1)dy = (1 - cosx)sin xdx ; thus: (sec
-1)dy = (1 - cosx )sin xdx, tan y - y +
C = -cosx + cosx/3 ;and so: cosx - 3cos =
3(tan y - y + C) ;Ans.
solution: dy/dx = cosxcos y, dy/cos
y = cosxdx, secy dy = 1 + cos/2,
thus, sec y dy = 1 + cosx dx/2,
In/secy + tany/ = x/2 + sinx + C/4
and so: 4In
/ secy + tany / = 2x +sin2x + C Answer.
solution: (1-x)dy/dx = y rearranging:
dy/y = dx/1-x or ydy = dx/1-x
integrate:ydy = dx/1-x
1/y = In(1-x) - InC y
In[C (1-x)] thus: y In[C
(1-x)] = 1 Answer.
d. xy + x = Cy
Solution: Expand the gven equation: 2xydx +
ydx =0 ;divide each term by y, 2xdx + (ydx-
xdy)/y = 0 but, (ydx-xdy)/y = d(x/y)
so, 2xdx + d(x/y) = 0 ;integration gives, x +
x/y = C or xy + x = Cy.
