    What Are the Steps to Solve a Boundary Condition Problem with Three Conditions?

    Hi, this question has been bugging me for weeks and any help would be greatly appreciated. In lectures we derived a general expression for the potential distribution across the xy half plane (y>0) in terms of a known potential distribution along the boundary defined by the x-axis where the...

    Solving for an initial condition with a DE

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could clarify some things for me here. The problem tells me to solve the given DE subject to the indicated initial condition. In this case, the initial condition is y(1) = 3 Here is the equation. http://album6.snapandshare.com/3936/45466/852805.jpg...

    Lipschitz condition, more of like a clarification

    Hello, I just have one question that's been bothering me. When I reduce a higher ODE to a First ODE, and if I prove that First ODE satisfies the Lipschitz condition, does that mean that the higher ODE has a unique solution (thanks to some other theorem)? All clarifications are appreciated...

    Is this a necessary and sufficent condition for the floor function?

    THe book says, state a necessary and sufficent condition for the floor of a real number to equal that number. I looked up what that ment in chapter 1 and it said the following: r is a necessary and sufficent condition for s means: "r if, and only if, s" So I scanned through this chapter and i...

    Proving Lipschitz Condition for F with $\| \cdot \|_{1}$ Norm

    I need to prove that the function F is Lipschitz, using the \| \cdot \|_{1} norm. that is, for t \in \mathbb{R} and y, z \in Y(t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} I must show that \|F(t, y) - F(t, z)\|_{1} < k|y-z| F(t, Y(t)) is given as F(t, Y(t)) = \left( \begin{array}{cc} y' \\...

    Rank condition in the Implicit Mapping Theorm

    Hi there. I've recently come across the Implicit Mapping Theorm in my studies and noticed that there is a condition that the rank of the image must be the maximum possible. I'm not directly seeing why this condition is needed, so I was wondering if anyone could provide me with an example of why...

    Finding C with inital condition, its wrong, any ideas why?

    Hello everyone, I'm having troubles figuring out this problem. The directions say: It is easy to check that for any value of c, the function y = ce^{-2x} + e^{-x} is solution of equation y' + 2y = e^{-x}. Find the value of c for which the solution satisfies the initial condition y(3)= 8...

    Condition for ODE Solutions with Variation of Parameters

    Hi, I just started playing with higher order ODEs and I'm stuck in one particular step. Here it is: y^{''} + y = \frac{1}{\cos x} 1. step: I find fundamental solution system, which in this case is [\cos x, \sin x] So general solution looks like this: y(x) = \alpha\cos x + \beta \sin x...

    Is a Homogeneous System of Linear Equations Inconsistent When n Exceeds r?

    True of false. A homogeneous system of r linear equations in n unknowns is inconsistent if the number of equations, n exceeds the number of unknowns, r. The questions seems to be implying that n=r, in which case the system is consistent. Is this true? Thanks. James
