Q8.5.2
21. Solve the initial value problem\[y''=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0,\nonumber \]where\[f(t)=m+1,\quad m\le t<m+1,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots.\nonumber \]
22. Solve the given initial value problem and find a formula that does not involve step functions and represents \(y\) on each interval of continuity of \(f\).
- \(y''+y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
\(f(t)=m+1,\quad m\pi\le t<(m+1)\pi,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots\). - \(y''+y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
\(f(t)=(m+1)t, \quad 2m\pi\le t<2(m+1)\pi,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots\) HINT: You'll need the formula \[1+2+\cdots+m={m(m+1)\over2}.\nonumber \] - \(y''+y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
\(f(t)=(-1)^m,\quad m\pi\le t<(m+1)\pi,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots.\) - \(y''-y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
\(f(t)=m+1,\quad m\le t<(m+1),\quad m=0,1,2,\dots.\)
HINT: You will need the formula \[1+r+...+r^{m}=\frac{1-r^{m+1}}{1-r}(r\neq 1).\nonumber \] - \(y''+2y'+2y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
\(f(t)=(m+1)(\sin t+2\cos t),\quad 2m\pi\le t<2(m+1)\pi,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots.\)
(See the hint in d.) - \(y''-3y'+2y=f(t), \quad y(0)=0,\quad y'(0)=0\);
- \(f(t)=m+1,\quad m\le t<m+1,\quad m=0,1,2,\dots.\)
(See the hints in b and d.)
23.
- Let \(g\) be continuous on \((\alpha,\beta)\) and differentiable on the \((\alpha,t_0)\) and \((t_0,\beta)\). Suppose \(A=\lim_{t\to t_0-}g'(t)\) and \(B=\lim_{t\to t_0+}g'(t)\) both exist. Use the mean value theorem to show that \[\lim_{t\to t_0-}{g(t)-g(t_0)\over t-t_0}=A\quad\mbox{ and }\quad \lim_{t\to t_0+}{g(t)-g(t_0)\over t-t_0}=B.\nonumber \]
- Conclude from (a) that \(g'(t_0)\) exists and \(g'\) is continuous at \(t_0\) if \(A=B\).
- Conclude from (a) that if \(g\) is differentiable on \((\alpha,\beta)\) then \(g'\) can’t have a jump discontinuity on \((\alpha,\beta)\).
24.
- Let \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) be constants, with \(a\ne0\). Let \(f\) be piecewise continuous on an interval \((\alpha,\beta)\), with a single jump discontinuity at a point \(t_0\) in \((\alpha,\beta)\). Suppose \(y\) and \(y'\) are continuous on \((\alpha,\beta)\) and \(y''\) on \((\alpha,t_0)\) and \((t_0,\beta)\). Suppose also that \[ay''+by'+cy=f(t) \tag{A}\] on \((\alpha,t_0)\) and \((t_0,\beta)\). Show that \[y''(t_0+)-y''(t_0-)={f(t_0+)-f(t_0-)\over a}\ne0.\nonumber \]
- Use (a) and Exercise 8.5.23c to show that (A) does not have solutions on any interval \((\alpha,\beta)\) that contains a jump discontinuity of \(f\).
25. Suppose \(P_0,P_1\), and \(P_2\) are continuous and \(P_0\) has no zeros on an open interval \((a,b)\), and that \(F\) has a jump discontinuity at a point \(t_0\) in \((a,b)\). Show that the differential equation \[P_0(t)y''+P_1(t)y'+P_2(t)y=F(t)\nonumber \]has no solutions on \((a,b)\). HINT: Generalize the result of Exercise 8.5.24 and use Exercise 8.5.23c.
26. Let \(0=t_0<t_1<\cdots <t_n\). Suppose \(f_m\) is continuous on \([t_m,\infty)\) for \(m=1,\dots,n\). Let \[f(t)= \left\{\begin{array}{cl} f_m(t),&t_m\le t< t_{m+1},\quad m=1,\dots,n-1,\\ f_n(t),&t\ge t_n. \end{array}\right.\nonumber \] Show that the solution of
\[ay''+by'+cy=f(t), \quad y(0)=k_0,\quad y'(0)=k_1,\nonumber \]
as defined following Theorem 8.5.1, is given by
\[y=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} z_0(t),&0\le t<t_1,\\[4pt] z_0(t)+ z_1(t),&t_1\le t<t_2,\\ &\vdots\\ z_0+\cdots+z_{n-1}(t),&t_{n-1}\le t<t_n,\\[4pt] z_0+\cdots+ z_n(t),&t\ge t_n, \end{array}\right.\nonumber \]
where \(z_0\) is the solution of
\[az''+bz'+cz=f_0(t), \quad z(0)=k_0,\quad z'(0)=k_1\nonumber \]
and \(z_m\) is the solution of
\[az''+bz'+cz=f_m(t)-f_{m-1}(t), \quad z(t_m)=0,\quad z'(t_m)=0\nonumber \]
for \(m=1,\dots,n\).
