DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 379 Chapter 9 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS He who seeks f methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks f the most part in vain. D. HILBERT 9. Introduction In Class XI and in Chapter 5 of the present book, we discussed how to differentiate a given function f with respect to an independent variable, i.e., how to find f () f a given function f at each in its domain of definition. Further, in the chapter on Integral Calculus, we discussed how to find a function f whose derivative is the function g, which ma also be fmulated as follows: F a given function g, find a function f such that = g(), where = f ()... () An equation of the fm () is known as a differential equation. A fmal definition will be given later. Henri Poincare (854-9 ) These equations arise in a variet of applications, ma it be in Phsics, Chemistr, Biolog, Anthropolog, Geolog, Economics etc. Hence, an indepth stu of differential equations has assumed prime imptance in all modern scientific investigations. In this chapter, we will stu some basic concepts related to differential equation, general and particular solutions of a differential equation, fmation of differential equations, some methods to solve a first der - first degree differential equation and some applications of differential equations in different areas. 9. Basic Concepts We are alrea familiar with the equations of the tpe: 3 + 3 = 0... () sin + cos = 0... () + = 7... (3)

380 MATHEMATICS Let us consider the equation: + = 0... (4) We see that equations (), () and (3) involve independent and/ dependent variable (variables) onl but equation (4) involves variables as well as derivative of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable. Such an equation is called a differential equation. In general, an equation involving derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with respect to independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation. A differential equation involving derivatives of the dependent variable with respect to onl one independent variable is called an dinar differential equation, e.g., 3 d + = 0 is an dinar differential equation... (5) Of course, there are differential equations involving derivatives with respect to me than one independent variables, called partial differential equations but at this stage we shall confine ourselves to the stu of dinar differential equations onl. Now onward, we will use the term differential equation f dinar differential equation. Note. We shall prefer to use the following notations f derivatives: 3 d d =, =, = 3. F derivatives of higher der, it will be inconvenient to use so man dashes as supersuffi therefe, we use the notation n f nth der derivative n d n. 9... Order of a differential equation Order of a differential equation is defined as the der of the highest der derivative of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable involved in the given differential equation. Consider the following differential equations: = e... (6)

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 38 d + = 0... (7) 3 3 d d 3 + = 0... (8) The equations (6), (7) and (8) involve the highest derivative of first, second and third der respectivel. Therefe, the der of these equations are, and 3 respectivel. 9.. Degree of a differential equation To stu the degree of a differential equation, the ke point is that the differential equation must be a polnomial equation in derivatives, i.e.,,, etc. Consider the following differential equations: 3 d d + 3 + + sin = 0... (9) = 0... (0) + sin = 0... () We observe that equation (9) is a polnomial equation in, and, equation (0) is a polnomial equation in (not a polnomial in though). Degree of such differential equations can be defined. But equation () is not a polnomial equation in and degree of such a differential equation can not be defined. B the degree of a differential equation, when it is a polnomial equation in derivatives, we mean the highest power (positive integral inde) of the highest der derivative involved in the given differential equation. In view of the above definition, one ma observe that differential equations (6), (7), (8) and (9) each are of degree one, equation (0) is of degree two while the degree of differential equation () is not defined. Note Order and degree (if defined) of a differential equation are alwas positive integers.

38 MATHEMATICS Eample Find the der and degree, if defined, of each of the following differential equations: (i) cos 0 = (ii) (iii) + + e = 0 + = 0 d Solution (i) (ii) The highest der derivative present in the differential equation is, so its der is one. It is a polnomial equation in and the highest power raised to is one, so its degree is one. d The highest der derivative present in the given differential equation is, so its der is two. It is a polnomial equation in d and and the highest (iii) d power raised to is one, so its degree is one. The highest der derivative present in the differential equation is, so its der is three. The given differential equation is not a polnomial equation in its derivatives and so its degree is not defined. EXERCISE 9.

General and Particular Solutions of a Differential Equation In earlier Classes, we have solved the equations of the tpe: + = 0... () sin cos = 0... () Solution of equations () and () are numbers, real comple, that will satisf the given equation i.e., when that number is substituted f the unknown in the given equation, L.H.S. becomes equal to the R.H.S.. 0 d Now consider the differential equation + =... (3) In contrast to the first two equations, the solution of this differential equation is a function φ that will satisf it i.e., when the function φ is substituted f the unknown (dependent variable) in the given differential equation, L.H.S. becomes equal to R.H.S.. The curve = φ () is called the solution curve (integral curve) of the given differential equation. Consider the function given b = φ () = a sin ( + b),... (4) where a, b R. When this function and its derivative are substituted in equation (3), L.H.S. = R.H.S.. So it is a solution of the differential equation (3). π Let a and b be given some particular values sa a = and b =, then we get a 4 π function = φ () = sin +... (5) 4 When this function and its derivative are substituted in equation (3) again L.H.S. = R.H.S.. Therefe φ is also a solution of equation (3).

384 MATHEMATICS Function φ consists of two arbitrar constants (parameters) a, b and it is called general solution of the given differential equation. Whereas function φ contains no arbitrar constants but onl the particular values of the parameters a and b and hence is called a particular solution of the given differential equation. The solution which contains arbitrar constants is called the general solution (primitive) of the differential equation. The solution free from arbitrar constants i.e., the solution obtained from the general solution b giving particular values to the arbitrar constants is called a particular solution of the differential equation. Eample Verif that the function = e 3 is a solution of the differential equation d 6 0 + = Solution Given function is = e 3. Differentiating both sides of equation with respect to, we get Now, differentiating () with respect to, we have d =9e 3, 3 = 3e...

You will find later on [See (eample 9 section 9.5..)] that this equation represents the famil of circles and one member of the famil is the circle given in equation (). Let us consider the equation + = r... (3) B giving different values to r, we get different members of the famil e.g. + =, + = 4, + = 9 etc. (see Fig 9.). Thus, equation (3) represents a famil of concentric circles centered at the igin and having different radii. We are interested in finding a differential equation that is satisfied b each member of the famil.

4 MATHEMATICS Summar An equation involving derivatives of the dependent variable with respect to independent variable (variables) is known as a differential equation. Order of a differential equation is the der of the highest der derivative occurring in the differential equation. Degree of a differential equation is defined if it is a polnomial equation in its derivatives. Degree (when defined) of a differential equation is the highest power (positive integer onl) of the highest der derivative in it. A function which satisfies the given differential equation is called its solution. The solution which contains as man arbitrar constants as the der of the differential equation is called a general solution and the solution free from arbitrar constants is called particular solution. To fm a differential equation from a given function we differentiate the function successivel as man times as the number of arbitrar constants in the given function and then eliminate the arbitrar constants. Variable separable method is used to solve such an equation in which variables can be separated completel i.e. terms containing should remain with and terms containing should remain with. A differential equation which can be epressed in the fm = f (, ) = g (, ) where, f (, ) and g(, ) are homogenous functions of degree zero is called a homogeneous differential equation. A differential equation of the fm +P = Q, where P and Q are constants functions of onl is called a first der linear differential equation. Histical Note One of the principal languages of Science is that of differential equations. Interestingl, the date of birth of differential equations is taken to be November,,675, when Gottfried Wilthelm Freiherr Leibnitz (646-76) first put in black and white the identit =, thereb introducing both the smbols and.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 43 Leibnitz was actuall interested in the problem of finding a curve whose tangents were prescribed. This led him to discover the method of separation of variables 69. A ear later he fmulated the method of solving the homogeneous differential equations of the first der. He went further in a ver sht time to the discover of the method of solving a linear differential equation of the first-der. How surprising is it that all these methods came from a single man and that too within 5 ears of the birth of differential equations! In the old das, what we now call the solution of a differential equation, was used to be referred to as integral of the differential equation, the wd being coined b James Bernoulli (654-705) in 690. The wd solution was first used b Joseph Louis Lagrange (736-83) in 774, which was almost hundred ears since the birth of differential equations. It was Jules Henri Poincare (854-9) who strongl advocated the use of the wd solution and thus the wd solution has found its deserved place in modern terminolog. The name of the method of separation of variables is due to John Bernoulli (667-748), a ounger brother of James Bernoulli. Application to geometric problems were also considered. It was again John Bernoulli who first brought into light the intricate nature of differential equations. In a letter to Leibnitz, dated Ma 0, 75, he revealed the solutions of the differential equation =, which led to three tpes of curves, viz., parabolas, hperbolas and a class of cubic curves. This shows how varied the solutions of such innocent looking differential equation can be. From the second half of the twentieth centur attention has been drawn to the investigation of this complicated nature of the solutions of differential equations, under the heading qualitative analsis of differential equations. Now-a-das, this has acquired prime imptance being absolutel necessar in almost all investigations.
