Unable to solve or complete the solution.

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }-5 y=1} \] With initial conditions \begin {align*} \left [y \left (\infty \right ) = -{\frac {1}{5}}\right ] \end {align*}

18.25.1 Existence and uniqueness analysis

This is a linear ODE. In canonical form it is written as \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime } + p(x)y^{\prime } + q(x) y &= F \end {align*}

Where here \begin {align*} p(x) &=-1\\ q(x) &=-5\\ F &=1 \end {align*}

Hence the ode is \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }-5 y = 1 \end {align*}

The domain of \(p(x)=-1\) is \[ \{-\infty

18.25.2 Solving as second order linear constant coeff ode

This is second order non-homogeneous ODE. In standard form the ODE is \[ A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = f(x) \] Where \(A=1, B=-1, C=-5, f(x)=1\). Let the solution be \[ y = y_h + y_p \] Where \(y_h\) is the solution to the homogeneous ODE \( A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = 0\), and \(y_p\) is a particular solution to the non-homogeneous ODE \(A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = f(x)\). \(y_h\) is the solution to \[ y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }-5 y = 0 \] This is second order with constant coefficients homogeneous ODE. In standard form the ODE is \[ A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = 0 \] Where in the above \(A=1, B=-1, C=-5\). Let the solution be \(y=e^{\lambda x}\). Substituting this into the ODE gives \[ \lambda ^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\lambda x}-\lambda \,{\mathrm e}^{\lambda x}-5 \,{\mathrm e}^{\lambda x} = 0 \tag {1} \] Since exponential function is never zero, then dividing Eq(2) throughout by \(e^{\lambda x}\) gives \[ \lambda ^{2}-\lambda -5 = 0 \tag {2} \] Equation (2) is the characteristic equation of the ODE. Its roots determine the general solution form.Using the quadratic formula \[ \lambda _{1,2} = \frac {-B}{2 A} \pm \frac {1}{2 A} \sqrt {B^2 - 4 A C} \] Substituting \(A=1, B=-1, C=-5\) into the above gives \begin {align*} \lambda _{1,2} &= \frac {1}{(2) \left (1\right )} \pm \frac {1}{(2) \left (1\right )} \sqrt {-1^2 - (4) \left (1\right )\left (-5\right )}\\ &= {\frac {1}{2}} \pm \frac {\sqrt {21}}{2} \end {align*}

Hence \begin{align*} \lambda _1 &= {\frac {1}{2}} + \frac {\sqrt {21}}{2} \\ \lambda _2 &= {\frac {1}{2}} - \frac {\sqrt {21}}{2} \\ \end{align*} Which simplifies to \begin{align*} \lambda _1 &= \frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2} \\ \lambda _2 &= \frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2} \\ \end{align*} Since roots are real and distinct, then the solution is \begin{align*} y &= c_{1} e^{\lambda _1 x} + c_{2} e^{\lambda _2 x} \\ y &= c_{1} e^{\left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right )x} +c_{2} e^{\left (\frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right )x} \\ \end{align*} Or \[ y =c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x} \] Therefore the homogeneous solution \(y_h\) is \[ y_h = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x} \] The particular solution is now found using the method of undetermined coefficients. Looking at the RHS of the ode, which is \[ 1 \] Shows that the corresponding undetermined set of the basis functions (UC_set) for the trial solution is \[ [\{1\}] \] While the set of the basis functions for the homogeneous solution found earlier is \[ \left \{{\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}, {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}\right \} \] Since there is no duplication between the basis function in the UC_set and the basis functions of the homogeneous solution, the trial solution is a linear combination of all the basis in the UC_set. \[ y_p = A_{1} \] The unknowns \(\{A_{1}\}\) are found by substituting the above trial solution \(y_p\) into the ODE and comparing coefficients. Substituting the trial solution into the ODE and simplifying gives \[ -5 A_{1} = 1 \] Solving for the unknowns by comparing coefficients results in \[ \left [A_{1} = -{\frac {1}{5}}\right ] \] Substituting the above back in the above trial solution \(y_p\), gives the particular solution \[ y_p = -{\frac {1}{5}} \] Therefore the general solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h + y_p \\ &= \left (c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {1}{2}-\frac {\sqrt {21}}{2}\right ) x}\right ) + \left (-{\frac {1}{5}}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Which simplifies to \[ y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}-\frac {1}{5} \] Initial conditions are used to solve for the constants of integration.

Looking at the above solution \begin {align*} y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}-\frac {1}{5} \tag {1} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are now substituted in the above solution. This will generate the required equations to solve for the integration constants. substituting \(y = -{\frac {1}{5}}\) and \(x = \infty \) in the above gives \begin {align*} -{\frac {1}{5}} = \operatorname {signum}\left (c_{1} \right ) \infty \tag {1A} \end {align*}

Equations {1A} are now solved for \(\{c_{1}, c_{2}\}\). There is no solution for the constants of integrations. This solution is removed.

18.25.3 Solving using Kovacic algorithm

Writing the ode as \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }-5 y &= 0 \tag {1} \\ A y^{\prime \prime } + B y^{\prime } + C y &= 0 \tag {2} \end {align*}

Comparing (1) and (2) shows that \begin {align*} A &= 1 \\ B &= -1\tag {3} \\ C &= -5 \end {align*}

Applying the Liouville transformation on the dependent variable gives \begin {align*} z(x) &= y e^{\int \frac {B}{2 A} \,dx} \end {align*}

Then (2) becomes \begin {align*} z''(x) = r z(x)\tag {4} \end {align*}

Where \(r\) is given by \begin {align*} r &= \frac {s}{t}\tag {5} \\ &= \frac {2 A B' - 2 B A' + B^2 - 4 A C}{4 A^2} \end {align*}

Substituting the values of \(A,B,C\) from (3) in the above and simplifying gives \begin {align*} r &= \frac {21}{4}\tag {6} \end {align*}

Comparing the above to (5) shows that \begin {align*} s &= 21\\ t &= 4 \end {align*}

Therefore eq. (4) becomes \begin {align*} z''(x) &= \frac {21 z \left (x \right )}{4} \tag {7} \end {align*}

Equation (7) is now solved. After finding \(z(x)\) then \(y\) is found using the inverse transformation \begin {align*} y &= z \left (x \right ) e^{-\int \frac {B}{2 A} \,dx} \end {align*}

The first step is to determine the case of Kovacic algorithm this ode belongs to. There are 3 cases depending on the order of poles of \(r\) and the order of \(r\) at \(\infty \). The following table summarizes these cases.




Case

Allowed pole order for \(r\)

Allowed value for \(\mathcal {O}(\infty )\)




1

\(\left \{ 0,1,2,4,6,8,\cdots \right \} \)

\(\left \{ \cdots ,-6,-4,-2,0,2,3,4,5,6,\cdots \right \} \)




2

Need to have at least one pole that is either order \(2\) or odd order greater than \(2\). Any other pole order is allowed as long as the above condition is satisfied. Hence the following set of pole orders are all allowed. \(\{1,2\}\),\(\{1,3\}\),\(\{2\}\),\(\{3\}\),\(\{3,4\}\),\(\{1,2,5\}\).

no condition




3

\(\left \{ 1,2\right \} \)

\(\left \{ 2,3,4,5,6,7,\cdots \right \} \)




Table 304: Necessary conditions for each Kovacic case

The order of \(r\) at \(\infty \) is the degree of \(t\) minus the degree of \(s\). Therefore \begin {align*} O\left (\infty \right ) &= \text {deg}(t) - \text {deg}(s) \\ &= 0 - 0 \\ &= 0 \end {align*}

There are no poles in \(r\). Therefore the set of poles \(\Gamma \) is empty. Since there is no odd order pole larger than \(2\) and the order at \(\infty \) is \(0\) then the necessary conditions for case one are met. Therefore \begin {align*} L &= [1] \end {align*}

Since \(r = {\frac {21}{4}}\) is not a function of \(x\), then there is no need run Kovacic algorithm to obtain a solution for transformed ode \(z''=r z\) as one solution is \[ z_1(x) = {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {x \sqrt {21}}{2}} \] Using the above, the solution for the original ode can now be found. The first solution to the original ode in \(y\) is found from \begin{align*} y_1 &= z_1 e^{ \int -\frac {1}{2} \frac {B}{A} \,dx} \\ &= z_1 e^{ -\int \frac {1}{2} \frac {-1}{1} \,dx} \\ &= z_1 e^{\frac {x}{2}} \\ &= z_1 \left ({\mathrm e}^{\frac {x}{2}}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Which simplifies to \[ y_1 = {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}} \] The second solution \(y_2\) to the original ode is found using reduction of order \[ y_2 = y_1 \int \frac { e^{\int -\frac {B}{A} \,dx}}{y_1^2} \,dx \] Substituting gives \begin{align*} y_2 &= y_1 \int \frac { e^{\int -\frac {-1}{1} \,dx}}{\left (y_1\right )^2} \,dx \\ &= y_1 \int \frac { e^{x}}{\left (y_1\right )^2} \,dx \\ &= y_1 \left (\frac {\sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{x \sqrt {21}}}{21}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Therefore the solution is

\begin{align*} y &= c_{1} y_1 + c_{2} y_2 \\ &= c_{1} \left ({\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}\right ) + c_{2} \left ({\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}\left (\frac {\sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{x \sqrt {21}}}{21}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*} This is second order nonhomogeneous ODE. Let the solution be \[ y = y_h + y_p \] Where \(y_h\) is the solution to the homogeneous ODE \( A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = 0\), and \(y_p\) is a particular solution to the nonhomogeneous ODE \(A y''(x) + B y'(x) + C y(x) = f(x)\). \(y_h\) is the solution to \[ y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime }-5 y = 0 \] The homogeneous solution is found using the Kovacic algorithm which results in \[ y_h = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}+\frac {c_{2} \sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}}{21} \] The particular solution is now found using the method of undetermined coefficients. Looking at the RHS of the ode, which is \[ 1 \] Shows that the corresponding undetermined set of the basis functions (UC_set) for the trial solution is \[ [\{1\}] \] While the set of the basis functions for the homogeneous solution found earlier is \[ \left \{\frac {\sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}}{21}, {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}\right \} \] Since there is no duplication between the basis function in the UC_set and the basis functions of the homogeneous solution, the trial solution is a linear combination of all the basis in the UC_set. \[ y_p = A_{1} \] The unknowns \(\{A_{1}\}\) are found by substituting the above trial solution \(y_p\) into the ODE and comparing coefficients. Substituting the trial solution into the ODE and simplifying gives \[ -5 A_{1} = 1 \] Solving for the unknowns by comparing coefficients results in \[ \left [A_{1} = -{\frac {1}{5}}\right ] \] Substituting the above back in the above trial solution \(y_p\), gives the particular solution \[ y_p = -{\frac {1}{5}} \] Therefore the general solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h + y_p \\ &= \left (c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}+\frac {c_{2} \sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}}{21}\right ) + \left (-{\frac {1}{5}}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Initial conditions are used to solve for the constants of integration.

Looking at the above solution \begin {align*} y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\left (-1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}+\frac {c_{2} \sqrt {21}\, {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\left (1+\sqrt {21}\right ) x}{2}}}{21}-\frac {1}{5} \tag {1} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are now substituted in the above solution. This will generate the required equations to solve for the integration constants. substituting \(y = -{\frac {1}{5}}\) and \(x = \infty \) in the above gives \begin {align*} -{\frac {1}{5}} = \operatorname {signum}\left (c_{2} \right ) \infty \tag {1A} \end {align*}

Equations {1A} are now solved for \(\{c_{1}, c_{2}\}\). There is no solution for the constants of integrations. This solution is removed.
