## Definitions and Basic Concepts
### What is a Differential Equation?
A **differential equation** is an equation that involves an unknown function and its derivatives. It describes how a quantity changes with respect to another (e.g., time, space). Differential equations are widely used in physics, engineering, economics, biology, and many other fields to model various phenomena.
In mathematical terms, a differential equation can be written in the form:
$$
F\left(x, y, \frac{dy}{dx}, \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}, \ldots\right) = 0,
$$
where $y = y(x)$ is the unknown function, and $\frac{dy}{dx}, \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}, \ldots$ are its derivatives.
### What is an ODE?
An **Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)** is a type of differential equation that involves functions of only one independent variable and its derivatives. The general form of an ODE is:
$$
F\left(x, y, y', y'', \ldots, y^{(n)}\right) = 0,
$$
where $x$ is the independent variable, $y = y(x)$ is the dependent variable, and $y', y'', \ldots, y^{(n)}$ represent the first, second, and $n$-th derivatives of $y$ with respect to $x$.
**Example:**
A simple example of an ODE is the first-order linear ODE:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} + p(x)y = q(x),
$$
where $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are given functions.
### What is a Linear and Homogeneous ODE?
- A **linear ODE** is an ODE in which the dependent variable $y$ and its derivatives appear to the first power and are not multiplied together. A general $n$-th order linear ODE can be written as:
$$
a_n(x)y^{(n)} + a_{n-1}(x)y^{(n-1)} + \cdots + a_1(x)y' + a_0(x)y = g(x),
$$
where $a_i(x)$ are functions of $x$ and $g(x)$ is a given function.
- A **homogeneous ODE** is a special type of linear ODE where $g(x) = 0$. The general form is:
$$
a_n(x)y^{(n)} + a_{n-1}(x)y^{(n-1)} + \cdots + a_1(x)y' + a_0(x)y = 0.
$$
**Example:**
The second-order homogeneous linear ODE:
$$
y'' - 3y' + 2y = 0
$$
is homogeneous because the right-hand side is zero. It can be solved by finding the characteristic equation and determining the general solution.
### What is a Particular Solution of ODEs?
A **particular solution** of an ODE is a specific solution that satisfies both the differential equation and any given initial or boundary conditions. It is different from the **general solution**, which contains arbitrary constants that represent the family of all possible solutions to the differential equation.
To find a particular solution, you substitute the initial or boundary conditions into the general solution and solve for the arbitrary constants.
**Example:**
Consider the ODE:
$$
y'' - 3y' + 2y = 0.
$$
The general solution is:
$$
y(x) = C_1 e^{2x} + C_2 e^x,
$$
where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are arbitrary constants. If we are given initial conditions $y(0) = 1$ and $y'(0) = 0$, we can substitute these into the general solution to find the values of $C_1$ and $C_2$, giving us a **particular solution**.
**Steps to find a Particular Solution:**
1. Find the general solution of the ODE.
2. Use the given initial or boundary conditions to determine the values of the arbitrary constants in the general solution.
3. Substitute these values back into the general solution to get the particular solution.

## Integral Curve
- **What is it?**
An **integral curve** of a vector field is a curve that is tangent to the vector field at every point. In simpler terms, given a vector field (which can be thought of as arrows pointing in various directions), an integral curve is a path that follows the directions of these arrows.
![Integral Curve in a Vector Field](Integral%20Curve%20in%20a%20Vector%20field.png)
For a vector field $\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (P(x, y), Q(x, y))$ in 2D, an integral curve $\mathbf{r}(t) = (x(t), y(t))$ is a solution to the system of ordinary differential equations:
$$
\frac{dx}{dt} = P(x(t), y(t)), \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = Q(x(t), y(t)).
$$
**Example:**
Consider a simple vector field defined by $\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (y, -x)$. The integral curves of this field are solutions to the differential equations:
$$
\frac{dx}{dt} = y, \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = -x.
$$
Solving this system, we get solutions of the form:
$$
x(t) = A \cos(t) + B \sin(t), \quad y(t) = -A \sin(t) + B \cos(t),
$$
which represent circles centered at the origin.
## Cauchy Problem
![Cauchy formula explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phbO46YJ1UQ&t=36s)
The Cauchy problem is a fundamental concept in the study of partial differential equations (PDEs[^1]}). It refers to the problem of finding a solution to a PDE given initial conditions along a certain hypersurface[^2].
- **How do we solve it?**
To solve a Cauchy problem for a PDE, we generally follow these steps:
1. **Formulate the PDE and Initial Conditions:**
Define the PDE and the initial conditions. The initial conditions are given on a hypersurface, such as a line (in 2D) or a plane (in 3D). For example, consider the wave equation in one dimension:
$$
\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} - c^2 \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} = 0.
$$
The initial conditions could be:
$$
u(x, 0) = f(x), \quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}(x, 0) = g(x),
$$
where$f(x)$and$g(x)$are given functions.
2. **Find a General Solution:**
Solve the PDE using a method that applies to the type of PDE (e.g., separation of variables, Fourier transforms, or characteristic methods). For the wave equation, the general solution can be written using d'Alembert's formula:
$$
u(x, t) = \frac{1}{2} \left( f(x - ct) + f(x + ct) \right) + \frac{1}{2c} \int_{x - ct}^{x + ct} g(s) \, ds.
$$
3. **Apply the Initial Conditions:**
Substitute the initial conditions into the general solution to find specific forms of the arbitrary functions or constants.
4. **Verify the Solution:**
Check that the obtained solution satisfies both the PDE and the initial conditions.
**Example:**
For the heat equation in one dimension:
$$
\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \alpha \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2},
$$
with initial condition$u(x, 0) = f(x)$, the solution is:
$$
u(x, t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4 \pi \alpha t}} \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-\frac{(x - \xi)^2}{4 \alpha t}} f(\xi) \, d\xi,
$$
which uses a convolution of the initial condition$f(x)$with a Gaussian kernel.

## Method of Variation of Constants
![Variation of parameters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik3YW1JGr_A&pp=ygUgTWV0aG9kIG9mIFZhcmlhdGlvbiBvZiBDb25zdGFudHM%3D)
The **method of variation of constants** is a technique used to find a particular solution to a non-homogeneous linear differential equation. This method generalizes the solution of homogeneous equations by allowing the constants in the general solution to vary as functions of the independent variable.
Notice how it's similar to [Recurrence relations](Discrete%20Structures/Recurrence%20relations.md)
1. **Solve the homogeneous equation:** Start by solving the associated homogeneous differential equation. For an ODE of the form:
$$
y'' + p(x)y' + q(x)y = g(x),
$$
solve the homogeneous part:
$$
y'' + p(x)y' + q(x)y = 0.
$$
The general solution to the homogeneous equation will be:
$$
y_h(x) = C_1 y_1(x) + C_2 y_2(x),
$$
where $y_1(x)$ and $y_2(x)$ are linearly independent solutions.
2. **Replace constants with functions:** Replace the constants $C_1$ and $C_2$ with functions $u_1(x)$ and $u_2(x)$:
$$
y_p(x) = u_1(x)y_1(x) + u_2(x)y_2(x).
$$
3. **Set up equations for $u_1(x)$ and $u_2(x)$:** Differentiate $y_p(x)$ and use the condition that $u_1'(x)y_1(x) + u_2'(x)y_2(x) = 0$ to avoid second derivatives of $u_1(x)$ and $u_2(x)$. This gives:
$$
u_1'(x)y_1(x) + u_2'(x)y_2(x) = 0,
$$
$$
u_1'(x)y_1'(x) + u_2'(x)y_2'(x) = g(x).
$$
4. **Solve for $u_1'(x)$ and $u_2'(x)$:** Solve this system of equations to find $u_1'(x)$ and $u_2'(x)$.
5. **Integrate to find $u_1(x)$ and $u_2(x)$:** Integrate to find $u_1(x)$ and $u_2(x)$.
6. **Form the particular solution:** The particular solution is:
$$
y_p(x) = u_1(x)y_1(x) + u_2(x)y_2(x).
$$
## Bernoulli Equation
![Understanding the bernoulli equation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW4rItB20h4)
![Using the bernoulli equation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCN8nGXE29o)
A **Bernoulli equation** is a type of first-order nonlinear differential equation of the form:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)y^n,
$$
where $n \neq 0, 1$.
- **When and how do we apply it?**
To solve a Bernoulli equation:
1. **Divide through by $y^n$:**
$$
y^{-n} \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y^{1-n} = Q(x).
$$
2. **Make a substitution:** Let $v = y^{1-n}$. Then $\frac{dv}{dx} = (1-n)y^{-n} \frac{dy}{dx}$.
3. **Rewrite the equation in terms of $v$:**
$$
\frac{dv}{dx} + (1-n)P(x)v = (1-n)Q(x).
$$
This is now a linear differential equation in $v(x)$.
4. **Solve the linear ODE for $v$:**
Use an integrating factor to solve for $v(x)$.
5. **Substitute back to find $y(x)$:**
Since $v = y^{1-n}$, solve for $y(x)$.
## Riccati Equation
![Explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoO7Jw06_PM)
A **Riccati equation** is a first-order nonlinear differential equation of the form:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = a(x) + b(x)y + c(x)y^2.
$$
- **When do we use it?**
Riccati equations are used in various fields such as control theory and fluid dynamics. They can sometimes be solved by making an appropriate substitution if a particular solution is known. In general, Riccati equations do not have a straightforward general solution like linear ODEs.
## $n \geq 2$ Linear ODE
![Constant coeff DEs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is0F0u62IbY)
- **What do we do with those?**
For linear ODEs of order $n \geq 2$, we typically look for a general solution that is a linear combination of $n$ linearly independent solutions.
### General Properties of Spaces of Solutions of such $\epsilon$
- **Linear dependence:** Solutions $y_1(x), y_2(x), \ldots, y_n(x)$ are linearly independent if no solution can be written as a linear combination of the others.
- **Dimension:** The solution space of a linear homogeneous ODE of order $n$ has dimension $n$.
- **Fundamental theorem:** If $y_1(x), y_2(x), \ldots, y_n(x)$ are $n$ linearly independent solutions to an $n$-th order linear homogeneous ODE, then any solution can be written as:
$$
y(x) = C_1 y_1(x) + C_2 y_2(x) + \cdots + C_n y_n(x),
$$
where $C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_n$ are constants.
- **Structure of the space:** The space of solutions is a vector space, where each solution can be represented as a linear combination of a set of basis solutions.

## Separable ODE
- **What is it?**
A **separable ODE** is a type of first-order differential equation where the variables can be separated on opposite sides of the equation. In other words, it can be written in the form:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = g(x)h(y),
$$
where the right-hand side is a product of a function of $x$ and a function of $y$. This allows the equation to be rewritten so that all $y$-terms are on one side and all $x$-terms are on the other.
- **What are the solution steps?**
To solve a separable ODE, follow these steps:
1. **Rewrite the equation:** Separate the variables by moving all terms involving $y$ to one side and all terms involving $x$ to the other:
$$
\frac{1}{h(y)} \, dy = g(x) \, dx.
$$
2. **Integrate both sides:** Integrate both sides with respect to their respective variables:
$$
\int \frac{1}{h(y)} \, dy = \int g(x) \, dx.
$$
3. **Solve for $y(x)$:** Find the general solution by solving for $y$ in terms of $x$. This may involve finding an explicit or implicit form.
4. **Apply initial conditions (if any):** If an initial condition is provided (e.g., $y(x_0) = y_0$), substitute it into the general solution to find the particular solution.
**Example:**
Consider the separable ODE:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = xy.
$$
Separating variables:
$$
\frac{1}{y} \, dy = x \, dx.
$$
Integrating both sides:
$$
\ln |y| = \frac{x^2}{2} + C.
$$
Solving for $y$, we get:
$$
y(x) = Ce^{x^2/2}.
$$
## Equidimensional (EulerCauchy) Equation
![Solving](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXZ4qmDpblE)
An **Equidimensional (EulerCauchy) equation** is a type of second-order linear differential equation with variable coefficients that are powers of the independent variable $x$. It has the form:
$$
x^2 y'' + ax y' + b y = 0,
$$
where $a$ and $b$ are constants.
- **How do we solve it?**
To solve the EulerCauchy equation:
1. **Use the substitution:** $y = x^m$, where $m$ is a constant to be determined.
2. **Find derivatives:** Compute $y'$ and $y''$ in terms of $m$:
$$
y' = mx^{m-1}, \quad y'' = m(m-1)x^{m-2}.
$$
3. **Substitute into the original equation:** Substitute $y$, $y'$, and $y''$ into the differential equation and simplify.
4. **Solve the characteristic equation:** The resulting equation will be a quadratic in terms of $m$:
$$
m(m-1) + am + b = 0.
$$
Solve this quadratic equation for $m$.
5. **Form the general solution:** Depending on the roots $m_1$ and $m_2$, the general solution will be:
- If $m_1 \neq m_2$: $y(x) = C_1 x^{m_1} + C_2 x^{m_2}$.
- If $m_1 = m_2$: $y(x) = (C_1 + C_2 \ln x) x^{m_1}$.
**Example:**
Solve $x^2 y'' - 4xy' + 6y = 0$.
1. Substitute $y = x^m$, $y' = mx^{m-1}$, and $y'' = m(m-1)x^{m-2}$.
2. The characteristic equation becomes:
$$
m(m-1) - 4m + 6 = 0 \implies m^2 - 5m + 6 = 0.
$$
3. Solving, we find $m_1 = 2$, $m_2 = 3$.
4. The general solution is:
$$
y(x) = C_1 x^2 + C_2 x^3.
$$
## Linear ODEs of Order 1
A **linear ODE of order 1** is a first-order differential equation that can be written in the form:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x),
$$
where $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ are functions of $x$.
- **What are the rules for finding out if $\epsilon$ is homogeneous?**
An ODE is **homogeneous** if $Q(x) = 0$. Thus, the equation becomes:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = 0.
$$
In this case, the solution involves finding an integrating factor:
$$
\mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) \, dx}.
$$
Multiplying through by $\mu(x)$ makes the left side an exact derivative:
$$
\frac{d}{dx} \left( \mu(x) y \right) = 0,
$$
which can then be integrated to solve for $y(x)$.
## Examples of Different Types of Differential Equations
![Types of ODEs and their solutions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccRJtV6XWQE)
- **Non-linear:**
- An ODE that cannot be written in a linear form, for example:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 + x.
$$
The function $y^2$ makes it nonlinear.
- **Linear, Homogeneous:**
- An ODE where the function and its derivatives appear linearly and the right-hand side is zero:
$$
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - 3\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = 0.
$$
Here, all terms involve $y$ or its derivatives to the first power, and the equation is set to 0.
- **Linear, Non-homogeneous:**
- A linear ODE with a non-zero right-hand side:
$$
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - 3\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = e^x.
$$
The term $e^x$ makes it non-homogeneous.
