Chapter 3
Second Order Linear Equations
This chapter deals with linear equations of second order. They are very important in the study of
differential equations for two main reasons. The first is that linear equations in general have a rich
theoretical structure that underlies a number of systematic methods of solution. Further, this structure
and these methods can be understood at a fairly elementary mathematical level. In order to present the
key ideas in the simplest possible context, we describe them in this chapter for second order equations.
Another reason to study second order linear equations is that they are vital to any serious investigation
of the classical areas of mathematical physics. One cannot go very far in the development of fluid
mechanics, heat conduction, wave motion, or electromagnetic phenomena without finding it necessary
to solve second order linear differential equations.
y 00 = f (t, y, y 0 ),
If a second order differential can not be written in the form (1), then it is nonlinear.
Remark. Since P2 (t) is not identically zero, equation (1) can be written as
Example 1. The equation ty 00 + 6t2 y 0 − 2t3 y = et is a linear second order differential equation.
Example 2. The equation y 00 + yy 0 = 0 is a non linear second order differential equation.
Definition. (Homogeneous equations)
A second order differential equation
is said to be homogeneous if the term g(t) is zero for all t. Otherwise, the equation is called nonhomo-
geneous. The term g(t) is called nonhomogeneous term.

Example 1. The equation y 00 − sin t y 0 + 5y = 0 is a homogenous second order differential equation.
Example 2. The equation y 00 + y = et is a nonhomogeneous second order differential equation.
A second order linear equation
y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t)
is called an equation with constant coefficients if p(t) and q(t) are constat functions.
Definition. (Initial value problem)
An initial value problem consists of a second order differential equation y 00 = f (t, y, y 0 ) together with
a pair of initial conditions y(t0 ) = y0 , y 0 (t0 ) = y00 , where y0 and y00 are given numbers.
Before studying linear second order equations in detail, we consider methods of solving some special
classes of nonlinear second order equations.

Example 2. Solve the initial value problem t2 y 00 + (y 0 )2 − 2ty 0 = 0, y(2) = 5, y 0 (2) = 2.
Solution.
y 00 = f (y, y 0 ),
then the equation is an equation with the independent variable missing. The substitution v(y) = y 0
reduces this equation to
dv
v = f (y, v)
dy
which is a first order equation. If we can solve this equation for v(y), then y can be obtain by solving
the simple first order equation y 0 = v(y).
Example 1. Solve the equation y 00 = 2y(y 0 )3 .

With equation (3) we associate a set of initial conditions
y(t0 ) = y0 , y 0 (t0 ) = y00 , (4)
where t0 is any point in the interval I, and y0 and y00 are given real numbers.
Recall that a second order differential equation
L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t)
is said to be homogeneous if the term g(t) is zero for all t. Otherwise, the equation is called nonhomo-
geneous. The term g(t) is called nonhomogeneous term.
The following Theorem explains whether the initial value problem (3), (4) always has a solution,
and whether it may have more than one solution.
Theorem 1. Let y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t), y(t0 ) = y0 , y 0 (t0 ) = y00 be an initial value problem. If
the functions p, q and g are continuous on an interval I = (α, β) containing the initial point t0 , then
the initial value has a unique solution y = ϕ(t) valid for all t ∈ I.
Example. Find the largest interval in which the solution of the initial value problem
ty 00 + sin ty 0 − cos ty = 1, y(−1) = 1, y 0 (−1) = 2
is certain to exist.

General solution of linear homogeneous equation
Let y1 and y2 be two solutions of
L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = 0.
Is ϕ(t) = c1 y1 + c2 y2 the general solution of the equation? To answer this question, we have to find c1
and c2 such that y(t0 ) = y0 , y 0 (t0 ) = y00 for any given real numbers y0 , y00 . Applying these initial
conditions gives
c1 y1 (t0 ) + c2 y2 (t0 ) = y0 ,

c1 y10 (t0 ) + c2 y20 (t0 ) = y00 .

The following theorem, perhaps surprisingly, gives a simple explicit formula for the Wronskian of
any two solutions of any second order linear homogeneous equation even if the solutions themselves are
not known. The theorem was derived by the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829)
in 1827 and is known as Abel’s formula.
Theorem 5. (Abel’s Theorem)
If y1 and y2 are solutions of the differential equation
L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = 0,
where p and q are continuous on an open interval I, then the Wronskian W (y1 , y2 )(t) is given by
Z
W (y1 , y2 )(t) = c exp − p(t)dt ,
where c is a certain constant that depends on y1 and y2 , but not on t. Further, W (y1 , y2 )(t) is either
zero for all t ∈ I (if c = 0) or else is never zero in I (if c 6= 0).
Proof.
Example. Find the Wronskian of two solutions of the equation t2 y 00 − t(t + 2)y 0 + (t + 1)y = 0.

second order linear homogeneous differential equation.
Theorem 6. Let y1 and y2 be solutions of the differential equation
L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = 0,
where p and q are continuous on an open interval I. Then
(1) y1 and y2 are linearly dependent on I if and only if W (y1 , y2 )(t) = 0 for all t ∈ I,
(2) y1 and y2 are linearly independent on I if and only if W (y1 , y2 )(t) 6= 0 for all t ∈ I.
Example. Let y1 and y2 be two linearly independent solutions of the equation y 00 + 2y 0 + ty = 0. If
W (y1 , y2 )(0) = 2, then find W (y1 , y2 )(1).

If b2 − 4ac < 0, then the roots of the characteristic equation has the roots

It follows that y1 = e(λ+iµ)t and y1 = e(λ−iµ)t are solutions of the differential equation ay 00 + by 0 + cy = 0.
These two solutions are complex but we started with only real numbers in our differential equation and
we would like our solutions to be real. The following formula we help us in finding the real solution
from the complex solutions.
Proposition 2. (Euler’s Formula)
For any real number t,
eiµt = cos(µt) + i sin(µt).
Proof. By Taylor series.
Consider the two solutions y1 = e(λ+iµ)t and y1 = e(λ−iµ)t . Using Euler’s formula we can write these
solutions as
y1 = eλt [cos(µt) + i sin(µt)] , y2 = eλt [cos(µt) − i sin(µt)] .
Since y1 and y2 are solutions, any linear combination
u = c1 y1 + c2 y2

is also a solution. Choose c1 = , c2 = . Then we obtain the real solution

u1 = eλt cos(µt).

Proposition 3. If the characteristic equation ar2 + br + c = 0 has complex roots r1 = λ + iµ and
r2 = λ − iµ, then the general solution of the differential equation ay 00 + by 0 + cy = 0 is given by
y = c1 eλt cos(µt) + c2 eλt sin(µt),
where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants.

There are several method to obtain such a solution y2 . We will use a method originated by Jean
d’Alembert (1717-1783), a French mathematician, and is known primarily for his work in mechanics
and differential equations. We know that since y1 (t) is a solution, so is cy1 (t) for any constant c. We
generalize this idea by replacing c by a function v(t) and trying to determine v(t) so that the product
v(t)y1 (t) is a solution. Starting with y = vy1 , we obtain
Since y1 = e−bt/2a we have ay100 + by10 + cy1 = 0. Thus the equation for v reduces to
v 00 = 0.
Remark. In other words, in this case, there is one exponential solution corresponding to the repeated
root, while a second solution is obtained by multiplying the exponential solution by t.
Solution.
y 00 + 6y 0 + 9y = 0, y(−1) = 2, y 0 (−1) = 1.

Reduction of Order
The method we have used to obtain a second solution of ay 00 + by 0 + cy = 0 when r1 = r2 can be
applied to other equations. Suppose we know a solution y1 (t) of
such that y1 (t) is not the zero function. To find a second solution we take y = v(t)y1 (t). Substituting
for y, y 0 , and y 00 in (10) gives
Since y1 is a solution of (10), we have y100 + py10 + q = 0 and hence the equation for v becomes
y1 v 00 + (2y10 + py1 )v 0 = 0.
This an second order equation for v with dependent variable v missing. Thus, the substitution w = v 0
transforms it to a first order equation for w:
y1 w0 + (2y10 + py1 )w = 0.
Solving the last equation for w, we then can obtain v by integration. Finally, y can be found by the
formula y = v(t)y1 (t).
This method is called the method of reduction of order since it reduces the problem from solving a
second order equation to solving a first order equation.
Example 1. Use the method of reduction of order to find the general solution of the equation
ty 00 − 2(t − 1)y 0 + (t − 2)y = 0, if y1 (t) = et is a solution.

The following two theorems describe the structure of solutions of the nonhomogeneous equation (11)

Theorem 7. If u1 and u2 are two solutions of the nonhomogeneous equation
L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t), there difference u1 − u2 is a solution of the corresponding homogeneous
equation L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = 0.

Theorem 8. The general solution of the nonhomogeneous equation L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t)
is given by
y = c1 y1 + c2 y2 + yp ,
where y1 and y2 are fundamental solutions of the corresponding homogeneous equation L[y] = y 00 +
p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = 0 and yp is some particular solution of L[y] = y 00 + p(t)y 0 + q(t)y = g(t).
Proof.
Remark. Theorem 8 states that to solve a nonhomogeneous linear equation L[y] = g(t), there are two
main steps:
(1) Find the general solution c1 y1 (t) + c2 y2 (t) of the corresponding homogeneous equation. This
solution is frequently called the complementary solution and may be denoted by yc (t).
We have already discussed how to find yc (t), at least when the homogeneous equation L[y] = 0
has constant coefficients. Therefore, in the remainder of this section and in the next, we will focus on
finding a particular solution yp (t) of the nonhomogeneous equation L[y] = g(t). There are two methods
that we wish to discuss. They are known as the method of undetermined coefficients and the method
of variation of parameters, respectively. Each has some advantages and some possible shortcomings.

solving many problems that have important applications. However, the algebraic details may become
tedious and a computer algebra system can be very helpful in practical applications. We will illustrate
the method of undetermined coefficients by several simple examples and then summarize some rules for
using it.
Example. Find a particular solution of the equation y 00 − y = e2t .
Solution.
How to find yp
Consider ay 00 + by 0 + cy = g(t), where a, b, and c are constants. Let r1 and r2 be the roots of the
characteristic equation ar2 + br + c = 0.
(1) If g(t) = eαt (an tn + · · · + a1 t + a0 ) with n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , then yp has the form
yp = ts eαt (An tn + · · · + A1 t + A0 ) ,
(2) If g(t) = eαt [A cos(βt) + B sin(βt)] (an tn + · · · + a1 t + a0 ) with n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , then yp has the
form
yp = ts eαt [cos(βt)(An tn + · · · + A1 t + A0 ) + sin(βt)(Bn tn + · · · + B1 t + B0 )] ,
where s is the number of the roots r1 , r2 that are equal to α + iβ.

3.7 Variation of Parameter
Variation of parameters is a method for finding particular solutions of a nonhomogeneous linear
equations. It was introduced by Lagrange. The method of variation of parameters is a general method
that can be applied to any linear differential equation. The disadvantage of the method of variation of
parameters is that it requires evaluation of certain integrals involving the nonhomogeneous term in the
differential equation, and this may present difficulties.
Description of the method
Consider a linear nonhomogeneous equation
and let yc = c1 y1 + c2 y2 be the general solution of the corresponding homogeneous equation L[y] = 0.
We assume that a particular solution has the form
y = u1 y1 + u2 y2 , (13)
Since there are two unknown functions to be determined, and only one condition to be satisfied, we can
impose the following second condition that produces a convenient simplification:
The condition (15) enable us to determine u1 and u2 and help us to avoid terms involving u001 and u002 so
keep the differential equations for u1 and u2 at first order. As a result equation (14) becomes
u1 [y100 + py10 + qy1 ] + u2 [y200 + py20 + qy2 ] + u01 y10 + u02 y20 = g(t). (18)
Since u1 and u2 are solutions of L[y] = 0, the coefficients of u1 and u2 are both zero. Hence, equation
(18) reduces to
u01 y10 + u02 y20 = g(t). (19)
Equations (15) and (19) form a system of two linear algebraic equations for the derivatives u01 and u02
of the unknown functions.
Multiplying equation (15) by y20 and (19) by y2 gives

Since {y1 , y2 } is a fundamental set of solutions of L[y] = 0, the Wronskian W (y1 , y2 ) = y1 y20 − y10 y2 =
6 0.
Thus we obtain
−y2 g(t)
u01 = . (20)
W (y1 , y2 )
Substituting this solution into (19) we can solve for u02 as
y1 g(t)
u02 = . (21)
W (y1 , y2 )
Finally we integrate (20) and (21) to obtain u1 and u2 . The constants of integration can be taken to
be zero, since we are looking for a particular solution.
