<p> Differential Equations Sanchez Part II -Summary 6 Annihilators</p><p>Annihilators. An annihilator of a function y=f(t) is a linear differential P(D) that satisfies the condition P(D)[f(t)] =0. This is the same as saying that f(t) is a solution of the homogenous differential equation P(D)f(t)=0.</p><p>Example: the homogeneous solution of the linear differential equation y  4y  0 is y  c1  c2 sin 2t  c3 cos 2t. Therefore an annihilator of y  5  7 sin 2t  4cos 2t is D D2 1 Note : y  4y  0 is the same as DD2 1 y  0</p><p>Problem 1.
