Solving Exact Linear ODEs
|
Description
|
|
•
|
The general form of the exact, linear ODE is given by the following:
|
>
|
exact_linear_ode := diff(linear_ODE(x),x) = 0;
|
| (1) |
|
where linearODE(x) is a linear ODE of any differential order; see Murphy, "Ordinary Differential Equations and their Solutions", p. 221. The order of these exact linear ODEs can be reduced since they are the total derivative of an ODE of one order lower. The reduced ODE is:
