. Let y 1 (x ), y 2 (x ), …, y n (x ) is a fundamental system of solutions to a linear homogeneous differential equation. It is required to prove that any particular solution y what ( x ) of this equation is contained in the formula y (x ) = C 1 y 1 (x ) + C 2 y 2 (x ) + …+ C n y n (x ) for a certain set of constants C 1 , C 2 , …, Cn . Let's take any point, calculate the numbers at this point and find the constants C 1 , C 2 , …, Cn as a solution to a linear inhomogeneous system of algebraic equations

How to find the fundamental system of solutions to a linear equation?

Let's take for example the following system of linear equations:

Let's find the solution to this linear system of equations. To begin with, we you need to write out the coefficient matrix of the system.

Let's transform this matrix to a triangular one. We rewrite the first line without changes. And all the elements that are under $a_(11)$ must be made zeros. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(21)$, you need to subtract the first from the second line, and write the difference in the second line. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(31)$, you need to subtract the first from the third line and write the difference in the third line. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(41)$, you need to subtract the first multiplied by 2 from the fourth line and write the difference in the fourth line. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(31)$, you need to subtract the first multiplied by 2 from the fifth line and write the difference in the fifth line.

We rewrite the first and second lines without changes. And all the elements that are under $a_(22)$ must be made zeros. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(32)$, you need to subtract the second one multiplied by 2 from the third line and write the difference in the third line. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(42)$, you need to subtract the second multiplied by 2 from the fourth line and write the difference in the fourth line. To make a zero in place of the element $a_(52)$, you need to subtract the second multiplied by 3 from the fifth line and write the difference in the fifth line.

We see that the last three lines are the same, so if you subtract the third from the fourth and fifth, they will become zero.

According to this matrix write a new system of equations.

We see that we have only three linearly independent equations, and five unknowns, so the fundamental system of solutions will consist of two vectors. So we we need to move the last two unknowns to the right.

Now, we begin to express those unknowns that are on the left side through those that are on the right side. We start with the last equation, first we express $x_3$, then we substitute the resulting result into the second equation and express $x_2$, and then into the first equation and here we express $x_1$. Thus, we expressed all the unknowns that are on the left side through the unknowns that are on the right side.

Then instead of $x_4$ and $x_5$, we can substitute any numbers and find $x_1$, $x_2$ and $x_3$. Each five of these numbers will be the roots of our original system of equations. To find the vectors that are included in FSR we need to substitute 1 instead of $x_4$, and substitute 0 instead of $x_5$, find $x_1$, $x_2$ and $x_3$, and then vice versa $x_4=0$ and $x_5=1$.

Finding a fundamental system of solutions in the general case is a rather difficult task. However, there is a class of equations for which this problem can be solved quite easily. We are now starting to study this class.
(*)

Let's call a linear differential equation (*) an equation with constant coefficients if the coefficients in this equation are constant, that is, a i (x)=const. Then the corresponding homogeneous equation L(y)=0 will have the form
. (6)
We will look for a solution to equation (6) in the form y = erx. Then y" = r e rx , y"" = r 2 e rx ,…, y (n) = r n e rx . Substituting into (6), we get


Since e rx does not vanish anywhere, then
. (7)
Equation (7) is called the characteristic equation of a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients.
Thus, we have proven the following theorem. Theorem. The function y = e rx is a solution to a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients (6) if and only if r is the root of the characteristic equation (7).
The following cases are possible.
1. All roots of the characteristic polynomial are real and distinct. Let us denote them r 1 ,r 2 ,…,r n . Then we get n different solutions
y 1 = e r1x , y 2 = e r2x ,…, y n = e rnx (8)
equation (6). Let us prove that the resulting system of solutions is linearly independent. Let us consider its Wronsky determinant

.


The factor e (r 1+ r 2+..+ rn) x on the right side of W(e r 1 x, e r 2 x,…, e rnx) does not vanish anywhere. Therefore, it remains to show that the second factor (determinant) is not equal to zero. Let's assume that


Then the rows of this determinant are linearly dependent, i.e. there are numbers α 1, α 2, ..., α n such that
Thus, we found that r i , i = 1,2,..,n are n different roots of a polynomial of (n-1) degree, which is impossible. Consequently, the determinant on the right side W(e r 1 x , e r 2 x ,…, e rnx) is not equal to zero and the system of functions (8) forms a fundamental system of solutions to equation (6) in the case when the roots of the characteristic equation are different.

Example. For the equation y""-3y" + 2y=0, the roots of the characteristic equation r 2 - 3r + 2 = 0 are equal to r 1 = 1, r 2 = 2 (the roots were found through the service for finding the discriminant). Consequently, the fundamental system of solutions consists of the functions y 1 = e x, y 2 = e 2 x, and the general solution is written as y = C 1 e x + C 2 e 2 x.
2. Among the roots of the characteristic equation there are multiples. Suppose that r 1 has multiplicity α, and all others are different. Let us first consider the case r 1 = 0. Then the characteristic equation has the form


since otherwise it would not be a root of the multiplicity α. Therefore, the differential equation has the form
that is, it does not contain derivatives of order below α. This equation is satisfied by all functions whose derivatives of order α and higher are equal to zero. In particular, these are all polynomials of degree not higher than α-1, for example,
1, x, x 2, …, x α-1. (9)
Let us show that this system is linearly independent. Having compiled the Wronski determinant of this system of functions, we obtain

.


This is a triangular determinant with non-zero elements on the main diagonal. Therefore, it is different from zero, which proves the linear independence of the system of functions (9). Note that in one of the examples in the previous paragraph we proved the linear independence of the system of functions (9) in a different way. Let now the root of the characteristic equation of multiplicity α be the number r 1 ≠0. Let us make the replacement y = z r 1 x = z exp(r 1 x) in equation (6) L(y) = 0. Then


and so on. Substituting the obtained values ​​of the derivatives into the original equation, we again obtain a linear homogeneous equation with constant coefficients
(0)
with characteristic equation
. (1)
Note that if k is the root of the characteristic equation (1), then z = e kx is a solution to equation (0), and y = y r 1 x = e (k + r 1) x is a solution to equation (6). Then r=k+r 1 is the root of the characteristic equation (7). On the other hand, equation (6) can be obtained from equation (0) by the reverse substitution z = ye - r 1 x and therefore each root of the characteristic equation (7) corresponds to the root k = r - r 1 of the characteristic equation (1). Thus, a one-to-one correspondence has been established between the roots of the characteristic equations (7) and (1), and different roots of one equation correspond to different roots of the other. Since r = r 1 is the root of the multiplicity α of equation (7), then equation (1) has k=0 as the root of the multiplicity α. According to what was proven earlier, equation (0) has α linearly independent solutions
which correspond to α linearly independent solutions
(2)
equation (7). By adding the resulting system of solutions (2) to the n-α solutions corresponding to the remaining roots of the characteristic equation, we obtain a fundamental system of solutions for a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients in the case of multiple roots.
Example. For the equation y"""-4y""+4y" = 0, the characteristic equation r 3 -4r 2 + 4r = 0 has roots r=0 of multiple 1 and r=2 of multiple 2, since r 3 -4r 2 + 4r = r(r-2) 2, therefore the fundamental system of solutions to the original equation is the system of functions y 1 = 1, y 2 = e 2 x, y 3 = xe 2 x, and the general solution has the form y = C 1 + C 2 e 2 x + C 3 xe 2 x .
3. Among the roots of the characteristic equation there are complex roots. You can consider complex solutions, but for equations with real coefficients this is not very convenient. Let us find real solutions corresponding to complex roots. Since we are considering an equation with real coefficients, then for each complex root r j = a+bi of multiplicity α of the characteristic equation, its complex conjugate number r k = a-bi is also a root of multiplicity α of this equation. The pairs of solutions corresponding to these roots are the functions and , l=0,1,.., α-1. Instead of these solutions, consider their linear combinations 3. For the equation y (4) + 8y"" + 16y =0, the characteristic equation r 4 +8r 2 +16=0 has r 1 = 2i, r 2 = -2i of multiplicity 2, since r 4 +8r 2 +16= (r 2 + 4) 2, therefore the fundamental system of solutions to the original equation is the system of functions y 1 = cos2x, y 2 = sin2x, y 3 = xcos2x, y 4 = xsin2x, and the general solution has the form y = C 1 cos2x+ C 2 sin2x+ C 3 xcos2x+ C 4 xsin2x.

We will continue to polish our technology elementary transformations on homogeneous system of linear equations.
Based on the first paragraphs, the material may seem boring and mediocre, but this impression is deceptive. In addition to further development of techniques, there will be a lot of new information, so please try not to neglect the examples in this article.

What is a homogeneous system of linear equations?

The answer suggests itself. A system of linear equations is homogeneous if the free term everyone equation of the system is zero. For example:

It is absolutely clear that a homogeneous system is always consistent, that is, it always has a solution. And, first of all, what catches your eye is the so-called trivial solution . Trivial, for those who do not understand the meaning of the adjective at all, means without a show-off. Not academically, of course, but intelligibly =) ...Why beat around the bush, let's find out if this system has any other solutions:

Example 1


Solution: to solve a homogeneous system it is necessary to write system matrix and with the help of elementary transformations bring it to a stepwise form. Please note that here there is no need to write down the vertical bar and the zero column of free terms - after all, no matter what you do with zeros, they will remain zeros:

(1) The first line was added to the second line, multiplied by –2. The first line was added to the third line, multiplied by –3.

(2) The second line was added to the third line, multiplied by –1.

Dividing the third line by 3 doesn't make much sense.

As a result of elementary transformations, an equivalent homogeneous system is obtained , and, using the inverse of the Gaussian method, it is easy to verify that the solution is unique.

Answer:

Let us formulate an obvious criterion: a homogeneous system of linear equations has just a trivial solution, If system matrix rank(in this case 3) is equal to the number of variables (in this case – 3 pieces).

Let's warm up and tune our radio to the wave of elementary transformations:

Example 2

Solve a homogeneous system of linear equations

To finally consolidate the algorithm, let’s analyze the final task:

Example 7

Solve a homogeneous system, write the answer in vector form.

Solution: let’s write down the matrix of the system and, using elementary transformations, bring it to a stepwise form:

(1) The sign of the first line has been changed. Once again I draw attention to a technique that has been encountered many times, which allows you to significantly simplify the next action.

(1) The first line was added to the 2nd and 3rd lines. The first line, multiplied by 2, was added to the 4th line.

(3) The last three lines are proportional, two of them have been removed.

As a result, a standard step matrix is ​​obtained, and the solution continues along the knurled track:

– basic variables;
– free variables.

Let us express the basic variables in terms of free variables. From the 2nd equation:

– substitute into the 1st equation:

So the general solution is:

Since in the example under consideration there are three free variables, the fundamental system contains three vectors.

Let's substitute a triple of values into the general solution and obtain a vector whose coordinates satisfy each equation of the homogeneous system. And again, I repeat that it is highly advisable to check each received vector - it will not take much time, but it will completely protect you from errors.

For a triple of values find the vector

And finally for the three we get the third vector:

Answer: , Where

Those wishing to avoid fractional values ​​may consider triplets and get an answer in equivalent form:

Speaking of fractions. Let's look at the matrix obtained in the problem and let us ask ourselves: is it possible to simplify the further solution? After all, here we first expressed the basic variable through fractions, then through fractions the basic variable, and, I must say, this process was not the simplest and not the most pleasant.

Second solution:

The idea is to try choose other basis variables. Let's look at the matrix and notice two ones in the third column. So why not have a zero at the top? Let's carry out one more elementary transformation:
