    Ordinary Differential Equations

    Fall 2017 — Prof. Oliver Bühler


    Mid-term exam
    19. October 2017
    All questions carry equal credit.
    Good luck!

    1. Find the solution y(x) for x ≥ 0 to the initial-value problem

    y 0 + 2 y = x2

    with initial data y(0) = 0.

    2. Find the linear second-order homogeneous constant-coefficient differential equation


    whose general solution is given by

    y(x) = A exp(x) + B exp(−2x) (1)

    where (A, B) are constants. Repeat in the case of

    y(x) = A exp(x) + Bx exp(x). (2)

    3. Find the solution y(x) for x ≥ 0 to the initial-value problem

    (1 + x) y 00 + y = 0 (3)

    with initial data


    y(0) = 1 and y 0 (0) = 0 (4)
    using the power series
    ∞
    an x n .
    X
    y(x) = (5)
    n=0

    Compute the values of (a0 , a1 , a2 , a3 ).

    4. For a linear second-order homogeneous equation of the form

    y 00 + p(x)y 0 + q(x)y = 0 (6)

    define the Wronskian W (y1 , y2 ), state its significance for solutions of (6), and derive
    the differential equation satisfied by W (x). Find W (x) for equation (3).
