Integration of homogeneous equations. Their general integral represents
a system of similar curves. The equation (_a_ + _b x_ + _c y_) _dx_ +
(_a’_ + _b’ x_ + _c’ y_) _dy_ = _c_, may be rendered homogeneous.
Particular case where the method fails. How the integration may be
effected in such case.
Integration of the linear equation of the first order _dy_/_dx_ + P _y_
= Q, where P and Q denote functions of _x_. Examples.
Remarks on the integration of equations of the first order which contain
a higher power than the first of _dy_/_dx_. Case in which it may be
resolved in respect of _dy_/_dx_. Case in which it may be resolved in
respect of _x_ or _y_.
Integrations of the equation _y_ = _x_ _dy_/_dx_ + φ(_d y_/_d x_). Its
general integral represents a system of straight lines. A particular
solution represents the envelop of this system.
Solution of various problems in geometry which lead to differential
equations of the first order.
LESSONS 7-8. _Integration of Differential Equations of Orders superior
to the First._
The general integral of an equation of the _m_ order contains _m_
arbitrary constants.
(_The demonstration is made to depend on the consideration of infinitely
small quantities._)
Integration of the equation _d^{m}y_/_dx^{m}_ = φ(_x_.)
Integration of the equation _d^{2}y_/_dx^{2}_ = φ(_y_, _dy_/_dx_).
How this is reduced to an equation of the first order. Solution of
various problems in geometry which conduct to differential equations of
the second order.
LESSONS 9-10. _On Linear Equations._
When a linear equation of the _m_^{th} order contains no term
independent of the unknown function and its derivatives, the sum of any
number whatever of particular integrals multiplied by arbitrary
constants is also an integral. From this the conclusion is drawn that
the general integral of this equation is deducible from the knowledge of
_m_ particular integrals.
Application to linear equations with constant co-efficients. Their
integration is made to depend on the resolution of an algebraical
equation. Case where this equation has imaginary roots. Case where it
has equal roots. The general integral of a linear equation of any order,
which contains a term independent of the function, may be reduced by the
aid of quadratures to the integration of the same equation with this
term omitted.
LESSON 11. _Simultaneous Equations._
General considerations on the integration of simultaneous equations. It
may be made to depend on the integrations of a single differential
equation. Integration of a system of two simultaneous linear equations
of the first order.
LESSON 12. _Integrations of Equations by Series._
Development of the unknown function of the variable _x_ according to the
powers of _x-a_. In certain cases only a particular integral is
obtained. If the equation is linear, the general integral may be deduced
from it by the variation of constants.
