Here is the equation I don't know how to solve:
<br /> \begin{aligned}<br /> \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{d}}^2}}}{{{\rm{d}}{t^2}}} + \beta _1^2} \right){u_1} = {g_1}u_2^{}{u_3} \\ <br /> \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{d}}^2}}}{{{\rm{d}}{t^2}}} + \beta _2^2} \right){u_2} = {g_2}u_1^{}{u_3} \\ <br /> \left( {\frac{{{{\rm{d}}^2}}}{{{\rm{d}}{t^2}}} + \beta _3^2} \right){u_3} = {g_3}u_2^{}{u_1} \\ <br /> \end{aligned}<br />
where {\beta _i},{g_i} are constants.
Is there an exact solution to this problem? If not, how to solve it approximately or numerically?

I don't know whether or not there is a exact solution to this, but MATLAB can solve it numerically.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
