2.34.1 Solved as second order Airy ode

Time used: 0.061 (sec)

This is Airy ODE. It has the general form

\[ a y^{\prime \prime } + b y^{\prime } + c x y = F(x) \]

Where in this case

\begin{align*} a &= 1\\ b &= 0\\ c &= -1\\ F &= x^{6}+x^{3}-42 \end{align*}

Therefore the solution to the homogeneous Airy ODE becomes

\[ y = c_1 \operatorname {AiryAi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )+c_2 \operatorname {AiryBi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right ) \]

Since this is inhomogeneous Airy ODE, then we need to find the particular solution. The particular solution is now found using the method of undetermined coefficients. Looking at the RHS of the ode, which is

\[ x^{6}+x^{3}+1 \]

Shows that the corresponding undetermined set of the basis functions (UC_set) for the trial solution is

\[ [\{1, x, x^{2}, x^{3}, x^{4}, x^{5}, x^{6}\}] \]

While the set of the basis functions for the homogeneous solution found earlier is

\[ \left \{\operatorname {AiryAi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right ), \operatorname {AiryBi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )\right \} \]

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.

\[ y_p = A_{7} x^{6}+A_{6} x^{5}+A_{5} x^{4}+A_{4} x^{3}+A_{3} x^{2}+A_{2} x +A_{1} \]

The unknowns \(\{A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}, A_{4}, A_{5}, A_{6}, A_{7}\}\) 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

\[ 30 x^{4} A_{7}+20 x^{3} A_{6}+12 x^{2} A_{5}+6 x A_{4}+2 A_{3}-x \left (A_{7} x^{6}+A_{6} x^{5}+A_{5} x^{4}+A_{4} x^{3}+A_{3} x^{2}+A_{2} x +A_{1}\right )-x^{6}-x^{3}+42 = 0 \]

Solving for the unknowns by comparing coefficients results in

\[ [A_{1} = 0, A_{2} = 0, A_{3} = -21, A_{4} = 0, A_{5} = 0, A_{6} = -1, A_{7} = 0] \]

Substituting the above back in the above trial solution \(y_p\), gives the particular solution

\[ y_p = -x^{5}-21 x^{2} \]

Therefore the general solution is

\begin{align*} y &= y_h + y_p \\ &= \left (c_1 \operatorname {AiryAi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )+c_2 \operatorname {AiryBi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )\right ) + \left (-x^{5}-21 x^{2}\right ) \\ &= c_1 \operatorname {AiryAi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )+c_2 \operatorname {AiryBi}\left (-x \left (-1\right )^{{1}/{3}}\right )-x^{5}-21 x^{2} \\ \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.
