Step by step solution

01

General form

Elimination Procedure for 2 × 2 Systems:

To find a general solution for the system;

L1x+L2y=f1,L3x+L4y=f2,

WhereL1,L2,L3, andL4 are polynomials in D=ddt:

  1. Make sure that the system is written in operator form.
  1. Eliminate one of the variables, say, y, and solve the resulting equation for x(t). If the system is degenerating, stop! A separate analysis is required to determine whether or not there are solutions.
  1. (Shortcut) If possible, use the system to derive an equation that involves y(t) but not its derivatives. [Otherwise, go to step (d).] Substitute the found expression for x(t) into this equation to get a formula for y(t). The expressions for x(t), and y(t) give the desired general solution.
  1. Eliminate x from the system and solve for y(t). [Solving for y(t) gives more constants----in fact, twice as many as needed.]
  1. Remove the extra constants by substituting the expressions for x(t) and y(t) into one or both of the equations in the system. Write the expressions for x(t) and y(t) in terms of the remaining constants.
02

Evaluate the given equation

Given that,

dxdt=2x+y-e2t…… (1)

dydt=x+2y…… (2)

Let us rewrite this system of operators in operator form:

D-2x-y=-e2t …… (3)

-x+D-2y=0…… (4)

Multiply (D-2) on equation (3) and add with equation (4). one gets,

D-22x-D-2y+-x+D-2y=D-2-e2tD-22x-x=-2e2t+2e2tD-22-1x=0D-4D+4-1x=0D-4D+3x=0

Since the corresponding auxiliary equation is r2-4r+3=0. The roots are r=1 and r=3 .

Then, the general solution is xt=c1et+c2e3t …… (5)

03

Substitution method

Substitute the equation (5) in equation (3).

D-2x-y=-e2t-y=-e2t-D-2xy=D-2c1et+c2e3t+e2ty=ddtc1et+c2e3t-2c1et-2c2e3t+e2tyt=c1et+3c2e3t-2c1e2t-2c2e3t+e2tyt=-c1et+c2e3t+e2tyt=-c1et+c2e3t+e2t6

04

Find the initial value problem

Given: x0=1,y0=-1.

Now substitute the values in equations (5) and (6).

xt=c1et+c2e3tx0=c1e0+c2e30

c1+c2=1 …… (7)

yt=-c1et+c2e3t+e2ty0=-c1e0+c2e30+e20-1=-c1+c2+1-c1+c2=-28

Solve the equations (7) and (8).

c1+c2-c1+c2=1-22c2=-1c2=-12

Then,

c1+c2=1c1-12=1c1=32

Now substitute the values of c in equations (5) and (6).

xt=32et-12e3t

yt=-32et+e2t-12e3t

Thus, the required solutions are;

xt=32et-12e3t

yt=-32et+e2t-12e3t

Arms Race. A simplified mathematical model for an arms race between two countries whose expenditures for defense are expressed by the variables x(t) and y(t) is given by the linear system

dxdt=2y-x+a;x0=1,dydt=4x-3y+b;y0=4,

Where a and b are constants that measure the trust (or distrust) each country has for the other. Determine whether there is going to be disarmament (x and y approach 0 as t increases), a stabilized arms race (x and y approach a constant ast+ ), or a runaway arms race (x and y approach+ as t+).

A Problem of Current Interest. The motion of an ironbar attracted by the magnetic field produced by a parallel current wire and restrained by springs (see Figure 5.17) is governed by the equation\(\frac{{{{\bf{d}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{x}}}}{{{\bf{d}}{{\bf{t}}^{\bf{2}}}}}{\bf{ = - x + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{{\bf{\lambda - x}}}}\) for \({\bf{ - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{ < x < \lambda }}\)where the constants \({{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}\) and \({\bf{\lambda }}\) are, respectively, the distances from the bar to the wall and to the wire when thebar is at equilibrium (rest) with the current off.

  1. Setting\({\bf{v = }}\frac{{{\bf{dx}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}\), convert the second-order equation to an equivalent first-order system.
  2. Solve the related phase plane differential equation for the system in part (a) and thereby show that its solutions are given by\({\bf{v = \pm }}\sqrt {{\bf{C - }}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ - 2ln(\lambda - x)}}} \), where C is a constant.
  3. Show that if \({\bf{\lambda < 2}}\) there are no critical points in the xy-phase plane, whereas if \({\bf{\lambda > 2}}\) there are two critical points. For the latter case, determine these critical points.
  4. Physically, the case \({\bf{\lambda < 2}}\)corresponds to a current so high that the magnetic attraction completely overpowers the spring. To gain insight into this, use software to plot the phase plane diagrams for the system when \({\bf{\lambda = 1}}\) and when\({\bf{\lambda = 3}}\).
  5. From your phase plane diagrams in part (d), describe the possible motions of the bar when \({\bf{\lambda = 1}}\) and when\({\bf{\lambda = 3}}\), under various initial conditions.

Referring to the coupled mass-spring system discussed in Example , suppose an external forceE(t)=37cos3t is applied to the second object of mass 1kg. The displacement functions xtand ytnow satisfy the system

(16)(2x''(t)+6x(t)-2y(t)=0,(17)(y''(t)+2y(t)-2x(t)=37cos3t

(a) Show that xtsatisfies the equation (18)x(4)(t)+5x''(t)+4x(t)=37cos3t

(b) Find a general solution xt to the equation (18). [Hint: Use undetermined coefficients with xp=Acos3t+Bsin3t.]

(c) Substitutext back into (16) to obtain a formula for yt.

(d) If both masses are displaced2mto the right of their equilibrium positions and then released, find the displacement functions xt and yt.
