Although less convenient to write and to typeset, the Leibniz notation has an advan- tage over the prime notation in that it clearly displays both the dependent and independent variables. For example, in the equation it i

For example, with the subscript notation the second equation in (3) becomes uxx? utt? 2ut. CLASSIFICATION BY
11、 ORDERThe order of a differential equation (either ODE or PDE) is the order of the highest derivative in the equation. For example, is a second-order ordinary differential equation. First-order ordinary differential equations are occasionally written in differential form M(x, y) dx ? N(x, y) dy ? 0.
12、 For example, if we assume that ydenotes the dependent variable in (y ? x) dx ? 4xdy ? 0, then y? ? dy?dx, so by dividing by the differential dx, we get the alternative form 4xy? ? y ? x. See the Remarks at the end of this section. In symbols we can express an nth-order ordinary differential equatio

Thus when it suits our purposes, we shall use the normal forms to represent general fi rst- and second-order ordinary differential eq
18、uations. For example, the normal form of the fi rst-order equation 4xy? ? y ? xis y? ? (x ? y)?4x; the normal form of the second-order equation y? ? y? ? 6y ? 0 is y? ? y? ? 6y. See the Remarks. CLASSIFICATION BY LINEARITYAn nth-order ordinary differential equation (4) is said to be linear if F is l
19、inear in y, y?, . . . , y(n). This means that an nth-order ODE is linear when (4) is an(x)y(n)? an?1(x)y(n?1)? ? ? ? ? a1(x)y? ? a0(x)y ? g(x) ? 0 or .(6) Two important special cases of (6) are linear fi rst-order (n ? 1) and linear second- order (n ? 2) DEs: .(7) In the additive combination on the
20、left-hand side of equation (6) we see that the char- acteristic two properties of a linear ODE are as follows: The dependent variable y and all its derivatives y?, y?, . . . , y(n)are of the fi rst degree, that is, the power of each term involving y is 1. The coeffi cients a0, a1, . . . , anof y, y?
21、, . . . , y(n)depend at most on the independent variable x. The equations are, in turn, linear fi rst-, second-, and third-order ordinary differential equations. We have just demonstrated that the fi rst equation is linear in the variable y by writing it in the alternative form 4xy? ? y ? x. A nonli
22、near ordinary differential equation is sim- ply one that is not linear. Nonlinear functions of the dependent variable or its deriva- tives, such as sin y or , cannot appear in a linear equation. Therefore are examples of nonlinear fi rst-, second-, and fourth-order ordinary differential equa- tions,
23、 respectively. SOLUTIONSAs was stated before, one of the goals in this course is to solve, or fi nd solutions of, differential equations.

27、ion to an identity, is said to be a solution of the equation on the interval. In other words, a solution of an nth-order ordinary differential equation (4) is a func- tion ? that possesses at least n derivatives and for which We say that ? satisfi es the differential equation on I. For our purposes
28、we shall also assume that a solution ? is a real-valued function. In our introductory discussion we saw that is a solution of dy?dx ? 0.2xy on the interval (?, ?). Occasionally, it will be convenient to denote a solution by the alternative symbol y(x). INTERVAL OF DEFINITIONYou cannot think solution
29、 of an ordinary differential equation without simultaneously thinking interval. The interval I in Defi nition 1.1.2 is variously called the interval of defi nition, the interval of existence, the interval of validity, or the domain of the solution and can be an open interval (a, b), a closed interva
30、l a, b, an infi nite interval (a, ?), and so on. EXAMPLE 1 Verifi cation of a Solution Verify that the indicated function is a solution of the given differential equation on the interval (?, ?). (a)(b) SOLUTIONOne way of verifying that the given function is a solution is to see, after substituting,
31、whether each side of the equation is the same for every x in the interval. (a) From we see that each side of the equation is the same for every real number x. Note that is, by defi nition, the nonnegative square root of . (b) From the derivatives y? ? xex? exand y? ? xex? 2exwe have, for every real
32、number x, Note, too, that in Example 1 each differential equation possesses the constant so- lution y ? 0, ? ? x ? ?. A solution of a differential equation that is identically zero on an interval I is said to be a trivial solution. SOLUTION CURVEThe graph of a solution ? of an ODE is called a soluti
33、on curve. Since ? is a differentiable function, it is continuous on its interval I of defi ni- tion. Thus there may be a difference between the graph of the function ? and the right-hand side: 0. left-hand side: y? ? 2y? ? y ? (xex? 2ex) ? 2(xex? ex) ? xex? 0, 1 16 x 4 y1/2? 1 4 x 2 right-hand side:

Put another way, the domain of the function ? need not be the same as the interval I of defi nition (or domain) of the solut
36、ion ?. Example 2 illustrates the difference. EXAMPLE 2Function versus Solution The domain of y ? 1?x, considered simply as a function, is the set of all real num- bers x except 0. When we graph y ? 1?x, we plot points in the xy-plane corre- sponding to a judicious sampling of numbers taken from its
37、domain. The rational function y ? 1?x is discontinuous at 0, and its graph, in a neighborhood of the ori- gin, is given in Figure 1.1.1(a). The function y ? 1?x is not differentiable at x ? 0, since the y-axis (whose equation is x ? 0) is a vertical asymptote of the graph. Now y ? 1?x is also a solu
38、tion of the linear fi rst-order differential equation xy? ? y ? 0. (Verify.) But when we say that y ? 1?x is a solution of this DE, we mean that it is a function defi ned on an interval I on which it is differentiable and satisfi es the equation. In other words, y ? 1?x is a solution of the DE on an
39、y inter- val that does not contain 0, such as (?3, ?1), , (?, 0), or (0, ?). Because the solution curves defi ned by y ? 1?x for ?3 ? x ? ?1 and are sim- ply segments, or pieces, of the solution curves defi ned by y ? 1?x for ? ? x ? 0 and 0 ? x ? ?, respectively, it makes sense to take the interval
40、 I to be as large as possible. Thus we take I to be either (?, 0) or (0, ?). The solution curve on (0, ?) is shown in Figure 1.1.1(b). EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT SOLUTIONSYou should be familiar with the terms explicit functions and implicit functions from your study of calculus. A solution in which the d
41、ependent variable is expressed solely in terms of the independent variable and constants is said to be an explicit solution. For our purposes, let us think of an explicit solution as an explicit formula y ? ?(x) that we can manipulate, evaluate, and differentiate using the standard rules. We have ju
42、st seen in the last two examples that , y ? xex, and y ? 1?x are, in turn, explicit solutions of dy?dx ? xy1/2, y? ? 2y? ? y ? 0, and xy? ? y ? 0. Moreover, the trivial solu- tion y ? 0 is an explicit solution of all three equations. When we get down to the business of actually solving some ordinary
43、 differential equations, you will see that methods of solution do not always lead directly to an explicit solution y ? ?(x). This is particularly true when we attempt to solve nonlinear fi rst-order differential equations. Often we have to be content with a relation or expression G(x, y) ? 0 that de
44、fi nes a solution ? implicitly. DEFINITION 1.1.3Implicit Solution of an ODE A relation G(x, y) ? 0 is said to be an implicit solution of an ordinary differential equation (4) on an interval I, provided that there exists at least one function ? that satisfi es the relation as well as the differential
45、 equation on I. It is beyond the scope of this course to investigate the conditions under which a relation G(x, y) ? 0 defi nes a differentiable function ?. So we shall assume that if the formal implementation of a method of solution leads to a relation G(x, y) ? 0, then there exists at least one fu
46、nction ? that satisfi es both the relation (that is, G(x, ?(x) ? 0) and the differential equation on an interval I. If the implicit solution G(x, y) ? 0 is fairly simple, we may be able to solve for y in terms of x and obtain one or more explicit solutions. See the Remarks. y ? 1 16 x 4 1 2 ? x ? 10

The two functions and satisfy the relation (that is, x2? ?1 2 ? 25 and x2? ?2 2 ? 25) and are explicit solutions defi ned on the interval (?5, 5).

Any relation of the form x2? y2 ? c ? 0 formally satisfi es (8) for any constant c. However, it is understood that the relation should always make sense in the real number system; thus, for example, i
