In Problems 13-19,find at least the first four nonzero terms in a power series expansion of the solution to the given initial value problem.
For Duffing's equation given in Problem 13, the behaviour of the solutions changes as rchanges sign. When, the restoring forcebecomes stronger than for the linear spring. Such a spring is called hard. When, the restoring force becomes weaker than the linear spring and the spring is called soft. Pendulums act like soft springs.
(a) Redo Problem 13 with. Notice that for the initial conditions, the soft and hard springs appear to respond in the same way forsmall.
(b) Keepingand, change the initial conditions toand. Now redo Problem 13 with.
(c) Based on the results of part (b), is there a difference between the behavior of soft and hard springs forsmall? Describe.
The equation
(1-x2)y"-2xy'+n(n+1)y=0
where nis an unspecified parameter is called Legendre’s equation. This equation appears in applications of differential equations to engineering systems in spherical coordinates.
(a) Find a power series expansion about x=0 for a solution to Legendre’s equation.
(b) Show that fora non negative integer there exists an nthdegree polynomial that is a solution to Legendre’s equation. These polynomials upto a constant multiples are called Legendre polynomials.
(c) Determine the first three Legendre polynomials (upto a constant multiple).
Find at least the first four nonzero terms in a power series expansion about for a general solution to the given differential equation with the given value for ,
Use Table 6.4.1 to find the first three positive eigen values and corresponding eigen functions of the boundary-value problem\(xy'' + y' + \lambda xy = 0,y(x),y'(x)\)bounded as \(x \to {0^ + },y(2) = 0\). (Hint: By identifying \(\lambda = {\alpha ^2}\), the DE is the parametric Bessel equation of order zero.)
