MHB -pe.7 write a system in the matrix form Y'=AY+G

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting a non-homogeneous first-order differential system into matrix form represented as \( Y' = AY + G \). The system consists of three equations involving functions \( x, y, z \) of the variable \( t \). The matrix \( A \) is defined as \( \begin{bmatrix}-4 & -3 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 & -3 \\ -3 & -3 & 2\end{bmatrix} \) and the non-homogeneous term \( G \) includes \( e^t \). The participants emphasize the importance of performing row-reduced echelon form (RREF) on matrix \( A \) for further analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of first-order differential equations
  • Familiarity with matrix algebra and operations
  • Knowledge of row-reduced echelon form (RREF)
  • Basic concepts of non-homogeneous systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to derive the RREF of a matrix
  • Study the stability analysis of differential systems
  • Explore the application of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in differential equations
  • Investigate the method of undetermined coefficients for solving non-homogeneous equations
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, engineering students, and anyone studying systems of differential equations who seeks to understand matrix representations and their applications in solving such systems.

consider th non-homogeneous first order differential system
where $x,y,z$ are all functions of the variable t
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
x'&=-4x-3y+3z\\
y'&=3x+2y-3z+e^t\\
z´&=-3x-3y+2z
\end{align*}

write a system in the matrix form $Y'=AY+G$
Start by taking $Y = \begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\z\end{bmatrix}$. Then the equation $Y'=AY+G$ becomes $$\def\dot{\phantom{\bullet}} \begin{bmatrix}x'\\y'\\z'\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}\dot&\dot&\dot\\ \dot&\dot&\dot \\ \dot&\dot&\dot\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\z\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix}\dot\\ \dot\\ \dot\end{bmatrix}.$$ Can you fill in the blanks?
 
$$Y'=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}-4&-3&3\\3&2&-3&+e^t\\ -3&-3&2\end{array}\right]
\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\\z\end{bmatrix}
+ \begin{bmatrix}G_1\\ G_2\\G_3\end{bmatrix}$$ok I don't know if this is all they want but presume what we do next is a rref on A
also this has an $e^t$ in it.
