DE Undetermined Coefficient Method












0












$begingroup$


I would like to solve the following non-homogeneous second order differential equation with constant coefficients with the method of undetermined coefficient but I have some problem with the particular solution, can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

$2y^{''}+3y^{'}+y=t^{-2}$


My problem is that I don't know how to treat the negative power. For example considering $t^{2}$, I can write $Y=At^2+Bt+C$. But in this case what I should do?

    @Moo. Did you try it ? I am almost sure that there is a typo since the particular solution involve very special functions.

    What makes you think this is possible? Undetermined coefficients, at least the version in most books, applies only to functions $g(t)$ of very special form.

First, the characteristic polynomial



$$ 2r^2 + 3r + 1 = (2r+1)(r+1) = 0 implies r = -1, -1/2 $$



So the fundamental solution is
$$ y_h(t) = c_1 e^{-t} + c_2e^{-t/2} $$




Now, you probably won't be able to use undetermined coefficients to obtain the particular solution, but variation of parameters can be of use. Let



$$ y_p(t) = u(t)e^{-t} + v(t)e^{-t/2} $$



Then



begin{align}
e^{-t}u' + e^{-t/2}v' &= 0 \
-e^{-t}u' - frac12 e^{-t/2}v' &= frac12 t^{-2}
end{align}



$$ implies u' = -t^{-2}e^t , quad v' = t^{-2}e^{t/2} $$



The integrals are non-elementary, but can be expressed in terms of incomplete Gamma functions

Quarter-circle Tiles

Image
up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

Image
0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
