Homogeneous Linear Differential Equation

This document discusses methods for solving homogeneous linear differential equations. It describes Cauchy's equation and Legendre's equation, which involve derivatives of up to second order. It provides processes for solving each type of equation by making substitutions to transform the derivatives in terms of new variables, then finding the complementary function and particular integral to get the general solution. It also outlines a method for solving a pair of first-order linear differential equations by differentiating one equation and eliminating a variable to form another differential equation that can be solved.

Homogeneous Linear Differential Equation

1. Cautchy’s Equation- (a0x2D2 + a1xD + a2)y = Q(x)


2. Legendre’s Equation- (a0(ax+b)2D2 + a1(ax+b)D + a2)y = Q(x)

A. Process to solve Cautchy’s Equation:


I. Let x= ez => z= log(x)
II. Let xD= ϴ, x2D2= ϴ(ϴ-1), x3D3= ϴ(ϴ-1)( ϴ-2), …
[D= d/dx, ϴ= d/dz]
Then, find C.F., P.I. and form the general equation y.
B. Process to solve Legendre’s Equation:
I. Let (ax+b)= ez => z= log(ax+b)
II. Let (ax+b)D= ϴ, (ax+b)2D2= ϴ(ϴ-1), (ax+b)3D3= ϴ(ϴ-1)( ϴ-2), …
[D= d/dx, ϴ= d/dz]
Then, find C.F., P.I. and form the general solution.

Solving a pair of One-Degree Linear Differential Equation:


1. Differentiate any one of the equation and cancel out any one of the
dependent variables.
2. Form a differential equation.
3. Then, find the C.F., P.I. and form the general solution.
4. Find out the value of the remaining dependent variable.
