ODE degree: 1.

The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_linear_constant_coefficients_ODE"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_high_order, _missing_x]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }+y=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{4}+1 = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= \frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\\ \lambda _2 &= -\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\\ \lambda _3 &= -\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\\ \lambda _4 &= \frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2} \end {align*}

Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)={\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{2} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{4} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x}\\ y_2 &= {\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x}\\ y_3 &= {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x}\\ y_4 &= {\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{2} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{4} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{2} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{\left (-\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {2}}{2}\right ) x} c_{4} \] Verified OK.
