Interesting system of ODE, application in physics?

Hi all,
I have a project to do for system of ordinal differential equations and their applications in physics.
One of my tasks is to find where in physics the following system of ordinal differential equations appear:

dA1(x)/dx=f(x).A2(x)
dA2(x)/dx=f(x).A1(x)+ h(x).A2(x)+ g(x).A3(x)
dA3(x)/dx= g(x).A2(x)

Could someone help me?
Thanks

Also application of higher dimensional system could be useful

dA1(x)/dx=f(x).A4(x)
dA2(x)/dx= g(x).A4(x)
dA3(x)/dx= k(x).A4(x)
dA4(x)/dx=f(x).A1(x)+ g(x).A2(x)+ k(x).A3(x) +h(x).A4(x)

or application of lower dimensional system
dA1(x)/dx=-f(x).A1(x)+ g(x).A2(x)
dA2(x)/dx= g(x).A1(x)+ f(x).A2(x)
 
I found some suitable articles, but it is not exactly what I need
Any way something like this could help me

or here in the arxiv

If some could give something similar it will be grate

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
