Math III Assignment for BITS Goa

The document is an assignment for a Mathematics III course given by BITS Pilani Goa campus. It contains 2 questions related to differential equations. Students are instructed to submit the solved assignment by September 12, 2017 for a maximum of 10 marks. The first question asks students to show that the set of solutions of a homogeneous linear differential equation forms a vector space, but the set of solutions of a non-homogeneous equation does not. The second question asks students to find the Wronskian of two linearly independent solutions of a given differential equation if the Wronskian at x=1 is given.

BITS, PILANI - K K BIRLA GOA CAMPUS

First Semester 2017-2018


Assignment I
Course Name : MATHEMATICS III Max. Marks : 10

Instructions:
1. Submit the solved assignment to your respective instructor, in the class, latest by
September 12, 2017.

2. Assignments will not be considered after the due date is over.

1. If P (x), Q(x) and R(x) are continuous functions on an interval I, then show that the
set of solutions of the following linear homogeneous equation is a real vector space:

y ′′ + P (x)y ′ + Q(x)y = 0, x ∈ I.

Also show that the set of solutions of the linear non-homogeneous equation

y ′′ + P (x)y ′ + Q(x)y = R(x), x ∈ I,

is not a real vector space. [7]

2. Let y1 (x) and y2 (x) be linearly independent solutions of the differential equation

xy ′′ + 2y ′ + xex y = 0, x > 0.

If W (y1 , y2 )(1) = 2, then find the W (y1 , y2 )(5)? [3]
