Couple of doubts

I am facing problem in solving these differential equation

1) $\large{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}+e^{2y}(\frac{dy}{dx})^{3}=0}$

2) $\large{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}+3y=-2x}$

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

1) is non-linear, so is going to be messy. I'll have a look at 2) though.

The characteristic equation has roots $\pm i\sqrt{3},$ so $y_{c} = c_{1}\cos(\sqrt{3}x) + c_{2}\sin(\sqrt{3}x).$

For the particular solution, letting $y_{p} = -\dfrac{2x}{3}$ will do the trick, and thus the general solution is

$y = y_{c} + y_{p} = c_{1}\cos(\sqrt{3}x) + c_{2}\sin(\sqrt{3}x) - \dfrac{2x}{3}.$

sir can u provide me the steps, or any note on how to solve these, actually i only know how to solve homogeneous second order differential equation

Tanishq Varshney - 6 years, 1 month ago

I'll provide you with a great link, just to save some time. The headings "Complex Roots" and "Nonhomogeneous DE's" are applicable for 2).

For 1) you could try the substitution $v = \dfrac{dy}{dx}.$ The equation then becomes

$v\dfrac{dv}{dy} + e^{2y}v^{3} = 0,$ which is still non-linear but is now first-order and may be easier to solve.

@Brian Charlesworth – For the first one of the terms on the other side and divide by $\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^3$ on both the sides to get the equation of the form $\displaystyle \frac{d^{2}x}{dy ^{2}} = - e^{2y}$ which is then trivial.

@Sudeep Salgia – sorry not understood, how is $\huge{\frac{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}{(\frac{dy}{dx})^{3}}=\frac{d^{2}x}{dy^{2}}}$

Tanishq Varshney - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Tanishq Varshney – It is simple. Start with $\left(\frac{dx}{dy }\right) = \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{-1}$ . Then differentiate wrt $y$ and apply chain rule on the other side to get the required answer.

@Brian Charlesworth – thank you so much sir for the help $\ddot \smile$

Tanishq Varshney - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Brian Charlesworth – but sir shouldn't it be $v\frac{dv}{dx}+e^{2y}v^{3}=0$

Tanishq Varshney - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Tanishq Varshney – With $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = v$ we have, by way of the chain rule, that $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = \dfrac{dv}{dx} = \dfrac{dv}{dy}\dfrac{dy}{dx} = v\dfrac{dv}{dy}.$

So we've converted the original second-order DE with $x$ as the independent variable into a first-order DE with $y$ as the independent variable. We can simplify a bit further by eliminating $v = 0$ as a solution, giving us

$\dfrac{dv}{dy} + e^{2y}v^{2} = 0,$ which is separable with solution $v = \dfrac{2}{e^{2y} + C}.$

So now we have that $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{e^{2y} + C},$ which again is separable with solution $\dfrac{e^{2y}}{2} + Cy = 2x + K,$

where constants $C$ and $K$ would be determined from any initial conditions that might be provided. We can't form a "nice" equation in the form $y = f(x)$ from this equation, but we've come far enough. :)
