SOLVING HIGHER ORDER LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Taylor's series method can be extended to higher order differential equations. The higher order differential equations can be expressed as a system of first order differential equations and the technique discussed for system of equations can be applied to solve the system.

 

1. By Taylor's series method find y (0.1) given that y'' = y + xy', y (0) = 1, y' (0) = 0.

Solution: Here, x0 = 0, y0 = 1, y0 = 0


 

2. Evaluate the values of y (0.1) and y (0.2) given y''-x(y')2+ y2 = 0; y (0) = 1, y' (0) = 0, by using Taylor series method.

Solution:
