Higher-Order Cauchy–Euler Equations. A differential equation that can be expressed in the form

anxny(n)(x)+an−1xn−1y(n−1)(x)+...+a0y(x)=0

wherean,an−1,....,a0 are constants, is called a homogeneous Cauchy–Euler equation. (The second-order case is discussed in Section 4.7.) Use the substitution y=xyto help determine a fundamental solution set for the following Cauchy–Euler equations:

(a) x3y'''+x2y''−2xy'+2y=0,x>0

(b) x4y(4)+6x3y'''+2x2y''−4xy+4y=0,x>0

(c) x3y'''−2x2y''+13xy'−13y=0,x>0

[Hint: xα+βi=e(α+βi)lnx=xa{cos(βlnx)+isin(βlnx)}]

Short Answer

Expert verified

{x1,x2{cos(3lnx)+isin(3lnx)},x2{cos(3lnx)−isin(3lnx)}is the fundamental solution set.

Step by step solution

01

Solving for (a):

(a)Given differential equation is,

x3y'''+x2y''−2xy'+2y=0…(1)

Let,

y=xry'=rxr−1y''=r(r−1)xr−2y'''=r(r−1)(r−2)xr−3

Substitution in equation (1) we get,

(rxr−1)+2xr=0r(r−1)(r−2)xr−3+3+r(r−1)xr−2+2−2rxr−1+1+2xr=0r(r−1)(r−2)xr+r(r−1)xr−2rxr+2xr=0(r(r−1)(r−2)+r(r−1)−2r+2)xr=0

Since x>0,xr>0

(r(r−1)(r−2)+r(r−1)−2r+2)=0r(r−1)(r−2)+r(r−1)−2(r−1)=0(r−1)(r(r−2)+r−2)=0(r−1)(r(r−2)+(r−2))=0(r−1)(r−2)(r+1)=0⇒r=1,r=2,r=−1

Therefore,

y1=x1,y2=x2,y3=x−1

Are all solutions of equation (1)

{x1,x2,x−1}is the fundamental solution set.

02

Solution for (b):

(b)Given differential equation is,

x4y4+6x3y'''+2x2y''−4xy'+4y=0…(2)

Let,

y=xry'=rxr−1y''=r(r−1)xr−2y'''=r(r−1)(r−2)xr−3y''''=r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)xr−4

Substituting in equation (2), we get

x4(r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)xr−4)+6x3(r(r−1)(r−2)xr−3)+2x2(r(r−1)xr−2)−4x(rxr−1)+4(xr)=0r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)xr−4+4+6r(r−1)(r−3)xr−3+3+2r(r−1)xr−2+2−4rxr−1+1+4xr=0r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)xr+6r(r−1)(r−3)xr+2r(r−1)xr−4rxr+4xr=0(r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)+6r(r−1)(r−3)+2r(r−1)−4r+4)xr=0

Since x>0,xr>0

⇒r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)+6r(r−1)(r−3)+2r(r−1)−4r+4=0r(r−1)(r−2)(r−3)+6r(r−1)(r−3)+2r(r−1)−4(r−1)=0(r−1)(r(r−2)(r−3)+6r(r−2)−2r−4)=0(r−1)(r(r−2)(r−3)+6r(r−2)+2(r−2))=0(r−1)((r−2)(r(r−3)+6r+2))=0(r−1)(r−2)(r(r−3)+6r+2)=0(r−1)(r−2)(r2−3r+6r+2)=0(r−1)(r−2)(r2−3r+2)=0(r−1)(r−2)(r+1)(r+2)=0⇒r=1,r=2,r=−1,r=−2

Therefore,

y1=x1,y2=x2,y3=x−1,y4=x−2

Are all solution of equation (2)

03

Solving further:

y3=x2−3i=e(2−3i)lnx=x2{cos(−3lnx)+isin(−3lnx)}=x2{cos(3lnx)−isin(3lnx)}

Hence,

{x1,x2{cos(3lnx)+isin(3lnx)},x2{cos(3lnx)−isin(3lnx)}is the fundamental solution set.
