The result reveals that the method together with the new fractional ordinary differential equation is a very influential and effective tool for solving nonlinear fractional partial differential equations in mathematical physics and engineering. The obtained solutions have been articulated by the hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions and rational functions with arbitrary constants. Introduction d dy d22 ydp() x dy d y =+=+ So px() px() 22p()x p(x) bxz() The series solution of differential equation yields an infinite series dx dx dx dx dx dx which often converges slowly. Thus it is difficult to obtain an insight Thus equation (3) can be written as into over-all behavior of the solution [1,2]. The Green’s function d dy approach would allow us to have an integral representation of the px() ++ qxy()()λ rxy =0 (4) solution instead of an infinite series. dx dx To obtain the filed y, caused by distributed source we calculate the Where q(x)=p(x)c(x) and r(x)=p(x)d(x) effect of each elementary portion of source and add (integral) them all. Equation in form (4) is known as Sturm-Liouville equation.

  • New Dirac Delta Function Based Methods with Applications To
    New Dirac Delta function based methods with applications to perturbative expansions in quantum field theory Achim Kempf1, David M. Jackson2, Alejandro H. Morales3 1Departments of Applied Mathematics and Physics 2Department of Combinatorics and Optimization University of Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada, 3Laboratoire de Combinatoire et d’Informatique Math´ematique (LaCIM) Universit´edu Qu´ebec `aMontr´eal, Canada Abstract. We derive new all-purpose methods that involve the Dirac Delta distribution. Some of the new methods use derivatives in the argument of the Dirac Delta. We highlight potential avenues for applications to quantum field theory and we also exhibit a connection to the problem of blurring/deblurring in signal processing. We find that blurring, which can be thought of as a result of multi-path evolution, is, in Euclidean quantum field theory without spontaneous symmetry breaking, the strong coupling dual of the usual small coupling expansion in terms of the sum over Feynman graphs. arXiv:1404.0747v3 [math-ph] 23 Sep 2014 2 1. A method for generating new representations of the Dirac Delta The Dirac Delta distribution, see e.g., [1, 2, 3], serves as a useful tool from physics to engineering. Our aim here is to develop new all-purpose methods involving the Dirac Delta distribution and to show possible avenues for applications, in particular, to quantum field theory. We begin by fixing the conventions for the Fourier transform: 1 1 g(y) := g(x) eixy dx, g(x)= g(y) e−ixy dy (1) √2π √2π Z Z To simplify the notation we denote integration over the real line by the absence of e e integration delimiters.

  • Second Order Linear Differential Equations Y
    Second Order Linear Differential Equations Second order linear equations with constant coefficients; Fundamental solutions; Wronskian; Existence and Uniqueness of solutions; the characteristic equation; solutions of homogeneous linear equations; reduction of order; Euler equations In this chapter we will study ordinary differential equations of the standard form below, known as the second order linear equations : y″ + p(t) y′ + q(t) y = g(t). Homogeneous Equations : If g(t) = 0, then the equation above becomes y″ + p(t) y′ + q(t) y = 0. It is called a homogeneous equation. Otherwise, the equation is nonhomogeneous (or inhomogeneous ). Trivial Solution : For the homogeneous equation above, note that the function y(t) = 0 always satisfies the given equation, regardless what p(t) and q(t) are. This constant zero solution is called the trivial solution of such an equation. © 2008, 2016 Zachary S Tseng B-1 - 1 Second Order Linear Homogeneous Differential Equations with Constant Coefficients For the most part, we will only learn how to solve second order linear equation with constant coefficients (that is, when p(t) and q(t) are constants). Since a homogeneous equation is easier to solve compares to its nonhomogeneous counterpart, we start with second order linear homogeneous equations that contain constant coefficients only: a y″ + b y′ + c y = 0. Where a, b, and c are constants, a ≠ 0. A very simple instance of such type of equations is y″ − y = 0 . The equation’s solution is any function satisfying the equality t y″ = y. Obviously y1 = e is a solution, and so is any constant multiple t −t of it, C1 e .

  • 5 Mar 2009 a Survey on the Inverse Integrating Factor
    A survey on the inverse integrating factor.∗ Isaac A. Garc´ıa (1) & Maite Grau (1) Abstract The relation between limit cycles of planar differential systems and the inverse integrating factor was first shown in an article of Giacomini, Llibre and Viano appeared in 1996. From that moment on, many research articles are devoted to the study of the properties of the inverse integrating factor and its relation with limit cycles and their bifurcations. This paper is a summary of all the results about this topic. We include a list of references together with the corresponding related results aiming at being as much exhaustive as possible. The paper is, nonetheless, self-contained in such a way that all the main results on the inverse integrating factor are stated and a complete overview of the subject is given. Each section contains a different issue to which the inverse integrating factor plays a role: the integrability problem, relation with Lie symmetries, the center problem, vanishing set of an inverse integrating factor, bifurcation of limit cycles from either a period annulus or from a monodromic ω-limit set and some generalizations. 2000 AMS Subject Classification: 34C07, 37G15, 34-02. Key words and phrases: inverse integrating factor, bifurcation, Poincar´emap, limit cycle, Lie symmetry, integrability, monodromic graphic. arXiv:0903.0941v1 [math.DS] 5 Mar 2009 1 The Euler integrating factor The method of integrating factors is, in principle, a means for solving ordinary differential equations of first order and it is theoretically important. The use of integrating factors goes back to Leonhard Euler. Let us consider a first order differential equation and write the equation in the Pfaffian form ω = P (x, y) dy Q(x, y) dx =0 .

  • Phase-Space Matrix Representation of Differential Equations for Obtaining the Energy Spectrum of Model Quantum Systems
    Phase-space matrix representation of differential equations for obtaining the energy spectrum of model quantum systems Juan C. Morales, Carlos A. Arango1, a) Department of Chemical Sciences, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Colombia (Dated: 27 August 2021) Employing the phase-space representation of second order ordinary differential equa- tions we developed a method to find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the 1- dimensional time independent Schr¨odinger equation for quantum model systems. The method presented simplifies some approaches shown in textbooks, based on asymptotic analyses of the time-independent Schr¨odinger equation, and power series methods with recurrence relations. In addition, the method presented here facilitates the understanding of the relationship between the ordinary differential equations of the mathematical physics and the time independent Schr¨odinger equation of physical models as the harmonic oscillator, the rigid rotor, the Hydrogen atom, and the Morse oscillator. Keywords: phase-space, model quantum systems, energy spectrum arXiv:2108.11487v1 [quant-ph] 25 Aug 2021 a)Electronic mail: [email protected] 1 I. INTRODUCTION The 1-dimensional time independent Schr¨odinger equation (TISE) can be solved analyt- ically for few physical models. The harmonic oscillator, the rigid rotor, the Hydrogen atom, and the Morse oscillator are examples of physical models with known analytical solution of the TISE (1). The analytical solution of the TISE for a physical model is usually obtained by using the ansatz of a wavefunction as a product of two functions, one of these functions acts as an integrating factor (2), the other function produces a differential equation solv- able either by Frobenius series method or by directly comparing with a template ordinary differential equation (ODE) with known solution (3).

    Mathematics for Chemistry Prof. Madhav Ranganathan Department of Chemistry Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Module - 05 Lecture - 23 Integrating Factors Today I will be talking about the Integrating Factor method, which is a method for solving differential equations; first order differential equations which cannot be expressed as exact differentials. (Refer Slide Time: 00:22) (Refer Slide Time: 00:27) (Refer Slide Time: 02:59) So, just to remind ourselves about exact and in exact differentials. We said that, we can write our first order differential equation as M times dx plus N times dy equal to 0; where M and N are functions of x and y. And what we said is at an exact differential implies. So, exact implies dou N by dou y equal to dou N by dou x. So, then you say it like that. If it is not exact; so if not exact then can we find some function alpha of x y such that alpha times M dx plus alpha times N dy equal to 0 is an exact differential. So, what I mean is that the left hand side is an exact differential. So, what I did is I just took this equation multiplied it by alpha. So, the right hand side will be 0 into alpha which will still be 0. Now, what I have is alpha M and alpha N instead of M and N. Now if this is an exact differential. So, can we find such an alpha? So, this is the main goal of this idea of integrating factor.

Solution. • The ODE is first-order, linear, and nohomogeneous, so we use the in- tegrating factor method. • The integrating factor with coefficient p(x) = −2x is given by Z µ(x) = exp − 2x dx = e−x2 : • Multiplying the ODE by the integrating factor and writing the left- hand side as an exact derivative, we get that 2 0 2 e−x y = xe−x ; so 2 Z 2 1 2 e−x y(x) = xe−x dx + c = − ex + c; 2 and the general solution is 1 2 y(x) = − + cex : 2 • The initial condition gives y0 = −1=2 + c, so c = y0 + 1=2 and 1 1 2 y(x) = − + y + ex : 2 0 2 • (b) The solution remains bounded as x ! 1 if c = 0 and y0 = −1=2.
