Equation M(x, y) dx+ N(x, y) dy=0 is called a generalized homogeneous if it is possible to select such a number k, that the left side of this equation becomes a homogeneous function of some degree m relatively x, y, dx And dy provided that x is considered the value of the first dimension, yk th measurements , dx And dy respectively zero and (k-1) th measurements. For example, this would be the equation. (6.1)

Valid under the assumptions made regarding measurements

And dy will have dimensions -2, 2 respectively k And k-1. Equating them, we obtain a condition that the required number must satisfy k: -2 = 2k = k-1. This condition is satisfied when k = -1 (with this k all terms on the left side of the equation under consideration will have a dimension of -2). Consequently, equation (6.1) is generalized homogeneous.

A generalized homogeneous equation is reduced to an equation with separable variables using substitution

§ 7. Linear differential equations of the 1st order.

A 1st order linear equation is an equation that is linear with respect to the desired function and its derivative. It looks like:

, (7.1)

Where P(x) And Q(x) – given continuous functions of x. If the function
, then equation (7.1) has the form:
(7.2)

and is called a linear homogeneous equation, otherwise
it is called a linear inhomogeneous equation.

The linear homogeneous differential equation (7.2) is an equation with separable variables:

(7.3)

Expression (7.3) is the general solution of equation (7.2). To find a general solution to equation (7.1), in which the function P(x) denotes the same function as in equation (7.2), we apply a technique called the method of variation of an arbitrary constant and consists of the following: we will try to select the function C=C(x) so that the general solution to the linear homogeneous equation (7.2) would be a solution to the inhomogeneous linear equation (7.1). Then for the derivative of function (7.3) we obtain:

.

Substituting the found derivative into equation (7.1), we will have:

or
.

Where
, Where - arbitrary constant. As a result, the general solution to the inhomogeneous linear equation (7.1) will be (7.4)

The first term in this formula represents the general solution (7.3) of the linear homogeneous differential equation (7.2), and the second term of formula (7.4) is a particular solution of the linear inhomogeneous equation (7.1), obtained from the general (7.4) with
. We highlight this important conclusion in the form of a theorem.

Theorem. If one particular solution of a linear inhomogeneous differential equation is known

Differential equations.

§ 1. Basic concepts about ordinary differential equations.

Definition 1. Ordinary differential equation n– th order for the function y argument x is called a relation of the form

Where F– a given function of its arguments. In the name of this class of mathematical equations, the term “differential” emphasizes that they include derivatives
(functions formed as a result of differentiation); the term “ordinary” indicates that the desired function depends on only one real argument.

An ordinary differential equation may not contain an explicit argument x, the required function
and any of its derivatives, but the highest derivative
must be included in the equation n- th order. For example

A)
– first order equation;

b)
– third order equation.

When writing ordinary differential equations, the notation for derivatives in terms of differentials is often used:

V)
– second order equation;

G)
– first order equation,

generator after division by dx equivalent form of specifying the equation:
.

Function
is called a solution to an ordinary differential equation if, upon substitution into it, it turns into an identity.

For example, a 3rd order equation

Has a solution
.

Finding by one method or another, for example, selection, one function that satisfies the equation does not mean solving it. To solve an ordinary differential equation means to find All functions that form an identity when substituted into an equation. For equation (1.1), a family of such functions is formed using arbitrary constants and is called the general solution of an ordinary differential equation n-th order, and the number of constants coincides with the order of the equation: The general solution may be, but is not explicitly resolved with respect to y(x) : In this case, the solution is usually called the general integral of equation (1.1).

For example, the general solution of the differential equation
is the following expression: , and the second term can also be written as
, since an arbitrary constant , divided by 2, can be replaced by a new arbitrary constant .

By assigning some admissible values ​​to all arbitrary constants in the general solution or in the general integral, we obtain a certain function that no longer contains arbitrary constants. This function is called a partial solution or partial integral of equation (1.1). To find the values ​​of arbitrary constants, and therefore a particular solution, various additional conditions to equation (1.1) are used. For example, the so-called initial conditions can be specified at (1.2)

On the right-hand sides of the initial conditions (1.2) the numerical values ​​of the function and derivatives are specified, and the total number of initial conditions is equal to the number of defined arbitrary constants.

The problem of finding a particular solution to equation (1.1) based on the initial conditions is called the Cauchy problem.

§ 2. Ordinary differential equations of the 1st order - basic concepts.

Ordinary differential equation of the 1st order ( n=1) has the form:
or, if it can be resolved with respect to the derivative:
. General solution y= y(x,WITH) or general integral
1st order equations contain one arbitrary constant. The only initial condition for a 1st order equation
allows you to determine the value of a constant from a general solution or from a general integral. Thus, a particular solution will be found or, which is the same, the Cauchy problem will be solved. The question of the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the Cauchy problem is one of the central ones in the general theory of ordinary differential equations. For a 1st order equation, in particular, the theorem is valid, which is accepted here without proof.

Theorem 2.1. If in the equation the function
and its partial derivative
continuous in some region D plane XOY, and in this area a point is specified
, then there is a unique solution that satisfies both the equation and the initial condition
.

Geometrically, the general solution of a 1st order equation is a family of curves on the plane XOY, having no common points and differing from each other in one parameter - the value of the constant C. These curves are called integral curves for a given equation. Integral equation curves have an obvious geometric property: at each point, the tangent of the tangent to the curve is equal to the value of the right side of the equation at this point:
. In other words, the equation is given in the plane XOY field of directions of tangents to integral curves. Comment: It should be noted that to Eq.
the equation and the so-called equation are given in symmetric form
.

§ 3. Differential equations of the 1st order with separable variables.

Definition. A differential equation with separable variables is an equation of the form

Expression (7.3) is the general solution of equation (7.2). To find a general solution to equation (7.1), in which the function P(x) denotes the same function as in equation (7.2), we apply a technique called the method of variation of an arbitrary constant and consists of the following: we will try to select the function C=C(x) so that the general solution to the linear homogeneous equation (7.2) would be a solution to the inhomogeneous linear equation (7.1). Then for the derivative of function (7.3) we obtain:

§ 9. Differential equations in total differentials.

Definition. If in Eq. M(x, y) dx+ N(x, y) dy=0 (9.1) the left side is the total differential of some function U(x, y) , then it is called a total differential equation. This equation can be rewritten as du(x, y)=0 , therefore, its general integral is u(x, y)= c.

For example, the equation xdy+ ydx=0 there is an equation in total differentials, since it can be rewritten in the form d(xy)=0. The general integral will be xy= c- arbitrary differentiable function. Let us differentiate (9.3) with respect to u
§ 10. Integrating factor.

If the equation M(x, y) dx + N(x, y) dy = 0 is not a total differential equation and there is a function µ = µ(x, y) , such that after multiplying both sides of the equation by it, we get the equation

µ(Mdx + Ndy) = 0 in total differentials, i.e. µ(Mdx + Ndy)du, then the function µ(x, y) is called the integrating factor of the equation. In the case where the equation is already an equation in total differentials, we assume µ = 1.

If the integrating factor is found µ , then the integration of this equation is reduced to multiplying both its sides by µ and finding the general integral of the resulting equation in total differentials.

If µ is a continuously differentiable function of x And y, That
.

It follows that the integrating factor µ satisfies the following 1st order partial differential equation:

(10.1).

If it is known in advance that µ= µ(ω) , Where ω – given function from x And y, then equation (10.1) reduces to an ordinary (and, moreover, linear) equation with an unknown function µ on independent variable ω :

(10.2),

Where
, i.e. the fraction is a function only of ω .

Solving equation (10.2), we find the integrating factor

, With = 1.

In particular, the equation M(x, y) dx + N(x, y) dy = 0 has an integrating factor that depends only on x(ω = x) or only from y(ω = y), if the following conditions are met accordingly:

How to Determine Whether a Differential Equation is Generalized Homogeneous

In order to determine whether a differential equation is generalized homogeneous, you need to introduce a constant t and make the substitution:
y → t α · y , x → t · x .
If it is possible to choose a value α at which the constant t decreases, then this is - generalized homogeneous differential equation. The change in derivative y′ with this replacement has the form:
.

Example

Determine whether the given equation is generalized homogeneous:
.

We make the replacement y → t α y, x → t x, y′ → t α- 1 y′:
;
.
Divide by t α+ 5 :
;
.
The equation will not contain t if
4 α - 6 = 0, α = 3/2 .
Since when α = 3/2 , t has decreased, then this is a generalized homogeneous equation.

Solution method

Consider the generalized homogeneous differential equation of the first order:

.

This is a homogeneous equation. It can be solved by substitution:
y = z t,
where z is a function of t.
When solving problems, it is easier to immediately use substitution:
y = z x α,
where z is a function of x.

An example of solving a generalized homogeneous differential equation of the first order

Solve differential equation
(P.1) .

Let's check whether this equation is generalized homogeneous. For this purpose in (P.1) make a replacement:
y → t α y , x → t x , y′ → t α- 1 y′.
.
Divide by t α:
.
t will be canceled if we set α = - 1 . This means that this is a generalized homogeneous equation.

Let's make a substitution:
y = z x α = z x - 1 ,
where z is a function of x.
.
Substitute into the original equation (P.1):
(P.1) ;
;
.
Multiply by x and open the brackets:
;
;
.
We separate the variables - multiply by dx and divide by x z 2 . When z ≠ 0 we have:
.
We integrate using the table of integrals:
;
;
;
.
Let's potentiate:
.
Let us replace the constant e C → C and remove the modulus sign, since the choice of the desired sign is determined by the choice of the sign of the constant C:
.

Let's return to the variable y. Substitute z = xy:
.
Divide by x:
(P.2) .

When we divided by z 2 , we assumed that z ≠ 0 . Now consider the solution z = xy = 0 , or y = 0 .
Since when y = 0 , left side of the expression (P.2) is not defined, then to the resulting general integral we add the solution y = 0 .
