Can You Solve These Differential Equations with Constants and Functions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving two differential equations: dX/dt = a - b*X and dY/dt = b*(c*exp(-E) - Y) - d*exp(-E)*Y. The user also introduces a relationship X = X0 + f(Y, E), where X0, a, b, c, and d are constants, and f is a function of Y and E. A clarification was made regarding a typographical error where Z was mistakenly referenced instead of Y. This correction streamlined the problem statement for further analysis.

Hi!
I need your help for solving a couple of differential equation:

dX/dt = a - b*X

dY/dt = b*(c*exp(-E) - Y) - d*exp(-E)*Y

X = X0 + f(Y, E)

with X0, a, b, c and d are constants and f, a function of Z and E.

Thank you in advance

A bit convoluted, this problem statement is. You have a differential equation for X $$
\dot x = a - bx
$$ and a regular equation, $$ x = x_0 + f(Y, E)$$ with ##z## appearing nowhere. Which is it ?
 
Oh yes, it is a mistake ! it is not Z but Y.
 
Problem solved!
Thanks!
