g(x) is a constant, a polynomial function, exponential function , sine or cosine functions or , or finite sums and products of these functions (, constants). The method consists of finding the general homogeneous solution y c {\displaystyle y_{c}} for the complementary linear homogeneous differential equation
In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
This equation is an equation only of y'' and y', meaning it is reducible to the general form described above and is, therefore, separable. Since it is a second-order separable equation, collect all x variables on one side and all y' variables on the other to get: (′) (′) =.
In mathematics, the annihilator method is a procedure used to find a particular solution to certain types of non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations (ODEs). [1] It is similar to the method of undetermined coefficients, but instead of guessing the particular solution in the method of undetermined coefficients, the particular solution is determined systematically in this technique.
Classic model used for deriving the equations of a mass spring damper model. The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers.
Cauchy's functional equation is the functional equation: (+) = + (). A function that solves this equation is called an additive function.Over the rational numbers, it can be shown using elementary algebra that there is a single family of solutions, namely : for any rational constant .
In the classical sense, if f(x) ∈ C k, and g(x) ∈ C k−1, then u(t, x) ∈ C k. However, the waveforms F and G may also be generalized functions, such as the delta-function. In that case, the solution may be interpreted as an impulse that travels to the right or the left.
The covariance function K X satisfies the definition of a Mercer kernel. By Mercer's theorem, there consequently exists a set λ k, e k (t) of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of T K X forming an orthonormal basis of L 2 ([a,b]), and K X can be expressed as
