Question 26.9

Solve the following system by matric method.

.. .
x+ 2x - 8x = 0 ; x(1) = 1, x(1) = 0

Solution
.. .
We write x = - 2x + 8x = 0 , hence a₁(t ) = -2 , aₒ(t ) = 8 and f(t ) = 0
.
Define that x1(t ) = x and x2(t ) = x , we obtain

.
x1 = x2 , we find

. .
x2 = d2x = -2x + 8x = -2x2 + 8x1
dt2
.
thus x1 = 0x1 + 1x2
.
x2 = 8x1 - 2x2
.
These equation are equivalent to the matrix equation x(t ) = A(t )x(t ) + f(t )
If we define,

x(t )≡ x1(t ) , A(t ) ≡ 0 1 and f(t ) ≡ 0


x2(t ) 8 -2 0
The differential equation is then equivalent to the matrix equation
. .
x(t) = A(t )x(t ) + f(t ), or simply x(t) = A(t )x(t ), since f(t) = 0. The initial conditions can

be given by x(to) = c , if we

define to = 1 and c = 1

Since we n=2, then

eAt = α1At + α0I = α0 α1t

8α1t -2 α1t + α0

and r(ʎ )= α₁ʎ + αo. The eigenvalues of At are ʎ 1 = 2t and ʎ 2 = -4t .


Then,
e2t = α₁(2t) + αo
e-4t = α₁(-4t) + αo
solve the α₁ and αo , we find that

α₁ =1/6 (e2t – e-4t) and αo = 1/3(2e2t + e-4t) so,

eAt = 1 4e2t + 2e-4t e2t – e-4t

6 8e2t – 8e-4t 2e2t + 4e-4t

Since the initial value problem is homogeneous, f(t)=0 then the solution is

x(t) = eA(t-t0)c

= 1 4e2(t-1) + 2e-4(t-1) e2(t-1) – e-4(t-1) 1

6 8e2(t-1) – 8e-4(t-1) 2e2(t-1) + 4e-4(t-1) 0


= 1 4e2(t-1) + 2e-4(t-1) + 0

6 8e2(t-1) – 8e-4(t-1) + 0

And the solution to the original initial value problem is

x(t) = x1(t) = 2/3 e2(t-1) + 1/3 e-4(t-1)
