Question

In Problems 1–7, convert the given initial value problem into an initial value problem for a system in normal form.

Answer

x'1(t)=x2(t)x'2(t)=x3(t)x'3(t)=x4(t)+tx'4(t)=x5(t)x'5(t)=2x4(t)-2x3(t)+15x1(0)=x2(0)=x3(0)=4,x4(0)=x5(0)=1

1Step 1: Express equation in form of x

Here given x'''-y=t and 2x''+5y''-2y=1.

Rewrite the equations x'''=y+t and x''=-5y''+2y+12

Denote,

 x1(t)=x(t)x2(t)=x'(t)x3(t)=x''(t)x4(t)=y(t)x5(t)=y'(t)x'1(t)=x2(t)

The equation transforms as:

x'1(t)=x2(t)x'2(t)=x3(t)x'3(t)=x4(t)+tx'4(t)=x5(t)x'5(t)=2x4(t)-2x3(t)+15

2Step 2: The initial conditions

The given initial conditions are x(0)=x'(0)=x''(0)=4 and y(0)=y'(0)=1.

 

Initial conditions after transformations x1(0)=x2(0)=x3(0)=4,x4(0)=x5(0)=1.

 

This is the required result.
