System of Linear Differential Equations

1. Find the general solution of the following Cauchy-Euler differential equations:

(a) Prove that the transformation x = et reduces the equation

a0 x2 y ′′ + a1 xy ′ + a2 y = F (x) (Cauchy Euler Equation)

to a linear differential equation with constant coefficients.


(b) x2 y ′′ − 4xy ′ + 4y = 4x2 − 6x3 , y(2) = 4, y ′ (2) = −1;
(c) (2x − 3)2 y ′′ − 6(2x − 3)y ′ + 12y = 0

2. The equation
dy
= A(x)y 2 + B(x)y + C(x), (1)
dx
is called Riccati’s equation.

(a) Solve the following differential equations

dy
dx
= 2xy 2 − 2x2 y + 1, y1 (x) = x

3. Suppose that the roots of the characteristic equation of the system are

x′ = a1 x + b1 y
(2)
y ′ = a2 x + b2 y

are real and equal; and let λ denote their common value. Also, assume that the
given system is not such that a1 = b2 ̸= 0 and a2 = b1 = 0. Then show that there
exist no non-trivial solutions of the form x = Ateλt , y = Bteλt , which is linearly
independent of the "basic" solution of the form x = Aeλt , y = Beλt .

4. Find a unique solution ϕ of the given differential equation

that satisfies the initial condition

For each system, determine the nature and stability of their critical points.
