3.4 Undetermined Coefficients

INTRODUCTION

To solve a nonhomogeneous linear differential equation

any(n) + an−1y(n−1) + … + a1y′ + a0y = g(x) (1)

we must do two things: (i) find the complementary function yc; and (ii) find any particular solution yp of the nonhomogeneous equation. Then, as discussed in Section 3.1, the general solution of (1) on an interval I is y = yc + yp.

The complementary function yc is the general solution of the associated homogeneous DE of (1), that is,

any(n) + an−1y(n−1) + … + a1y′ + a0y = 0.

In the last section we saw how to solve these kinds of equations when the coefficients were constants. Our goal then in the present section is to examine a method for obtaining particular solutions.
