Hi,

Q 1. ( e ^ y/x - y/x e ^ y/x + 1 / 1 + x^2 ) dx + e ^ y/x dy = 0

Ans. I know its Homogeneous sub, y = ux,
then, dy / dx = u dx + x du

I did this, and got to the point,

e^u dx + 1 / ( 1 + x^2) dx + x. e^u du = 0

How can we separate this now?

Q 2. y dx + ( 2x - y e^y ) dy = 0

I think we can use exactness, here

M = y

My = 1

N = 2x - y e^y

Nx = 2

Not exact,

so,

Integrating Factor would be : e ^ Integral My - Nx / N

Is this right. Integrating factor is getting to complicated to multiply the eqn, with. Any better way of doing this.


Q 3. ( 2x + tany) dx + ( x - x^2 tany ) dy = 0

I think here too, exactness, may be used, but any better way, if possible.

The second one is really simple...

\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{ye^{y}-2x}{y}

Nonhomogenous linear ODE.The homogenous one is separable.

Alright, let's write these out:

1. \left(e^{\frac{y}{x}} - \frac{y}{x}e^{\frac{y}{x}} + \frac{1}{1+x^2}\right) \ dx + e^{\frac{y}{x}} \ dy = 0

2. y \ dx + (2x - ye^y) \ dy = 0

3. (2x + \tan y) \ dx + (x - x^2\tan y) \ dy = 0

#1 is exact (check for yourself!). It isn't homogeneous.

An integrating factor that will work for #2 is just y (you can determine it by inspection...).

Integrating factor isn't that bad for #3 (although you will definitely know which function to integrate after you find it...).
 
So, far had now luck with part 1,

If it is exact,

I tried to find partial derivatives with respect to y and x for both terms, and then applied

My - Nx / N

and the Integrating factor gets really messy...

I got 2 ,,, piece of cake.

3. if M = 2x + tany
then

My = sec^2y

N = x - x^2 tany

Nx = 1 -2xtany

Then,

Integrating factor = Nx - My / M

1-2xtany - sec^2y / 2x tany

Trig, identity,

sec^2y - tan^2y = 1
sec^2y = 1 + tan^2y

Plugging in this into: 1-2xtany - sec^2y / 2x tany , for sec^2y

we get,

1-2xtany -1 -tan^2y / 2x tany

After simplifying the above, I got:

Integrating factor as - tany

When I try to multiply both sides by -tany, the expression doesn't get any simpler, but infact becomes harder to evaluate,

Any ideas, on how this could be made simpler.

Thanks
 
1. How the heck to find the partial for no. 1 with respect to x and y...

It is a pain. I would appreciate if somebody could help me with number 1 and 3


Thanks
 
\left(e^{\frac{y}{x}} - \frac{y}{x}e^{\frac{y}{x}} + \frac{1}{1+x^2}\right) \ dx + e^{\frac{y}{x}} \ dy = 0

I can't help you with solving the equation but the partials:

M_y = \frac{e^{\frac{y}{x}}}{x} - \frac{e^{\frac{y}{x}}}{x}+\frac{ye^{\frac{y}{x}}}{x} = \frac{ye^{\frac{y}{x}}}{x}

N_x = \frac{-ye^{y/x}}{x^2}
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
