where 4= Ag-+¿4;, and 4Ý = Ag — ¿Ar. Thus we ñnd |
An — zo/2 |
--- Trang 435 --- |
Ar = —(0o + +#o/2)/2„. (24.21) |
This completely determines 4 and 4Ý, and therefore the complete curve of the |
transient solution, in terms of how it begins. Incidentally, we can write the |
solution another way if we note that |
c® +e~?” =2cos8 and c8 — e~?# = 2isin 6. |
W©e may then write the complete solution as |
z—e 2 la COS(„Ý + to + 120/2 sỉn ¬ : (24.22) |
where œ„ = +/œ — 2/4. Thịis is the mathematical expression for the way an |
oscillation dies out. We shall not make direct use of it, but there are a number |
of poïints we should like to emphasize that are true in more general cases. |
First of all the behavior of such a system with no external force is expressed by a |
sum, or superposition, of pure exponentials in tỉme (which we wrote as e?%!), 'This |
is a good solution to try in such circumstances. The values of œ may be complex |
in general, the imaginary parts representing damping. Finally the intimate |
mathematical relation of the sinusoidal and exponentfial function discussed In |
Chapter 22 often appears physically as a change from oscillatory to exponential |
behavior when some physical parameter (in this case resistance, +) exceeds some |
critical value. |

25-1 Linear diferential equations |
In this chapter we shall discuss certain aspects of oscillating systems that are |
found somewhat more generally than just in the particular systems we have been |
discussing. For our particular system, the diferential equation that we have been |
solving is |
dỀz da 2 |
mu + m + Ta0+ = F). (25.1) |
Now this particular combination of “operations” on the variable ø has the |
interesting property that if we substitute (+) for z, then we get the sum of the |
same operations on z and ø; or, if we multiply z by a, then we get just ø times |
the same combination. This is easy to prove. Just as a “shorthand” notation, |
because we get tired of writing down all those letters in (25.1), we shall use the |
symbol (+) instead. When we see this, it means the left-hand side of (25.1), |
with z substituted in. With this system oŸ writing, Ù(z + ) would mean the |
following: |
đˆ(x+ d(z + |
L(x+ụ) =m “Œ T9) „mm đŒ $9) muà(z + g). (25.2) |
(We underline the Ù so as to remind ourselves that it is not an ordinary function.) |
W©e sometimes call this an operator no‡øtion, but 1t makes no diference what we |
call it, it is just “shorthand” |
Our frst statement was that |
Lí +) = L(z) + LỤU): (25.3) |
which of course follows from the fact that ø(# + ) = a# + aụ, đ(z + U) /dt —= |
dz/dt + dụ/dt, etc. |
--- Trang 437 --- |
Our second statement was, for constant ø, |
T(az) = aE(œ). (25.4) |
[Actually, (25.3) and (25.4) are very closely related, because iŸ we put # + # |
into (25.3), this is the same as setting ø = 2 in (25.4), and so on. |
In more complicated problems, there may be more derivatives, and more |
terms in Ù; the question of interest is whether the two equations (25.3) and (25.4) |
are maintained or not. If they are, we call such a problem a iZ»eør problem. In |
this chapter we shall discuss some of the properties that exist because the system |
1s linear, to appreciate the generality of some of the results that we have obtained |
in our special analysis of a special equation. |
Now let us study some of the properties of linear differential equations, having |
illustrated them already with the specific equation (25.1) that we have studied |
so closely. "The first property of interest is this: suppose that we have to solve |
the diferential equation for a transient, the free oscillation with no driving force. |
'That is, we want to solve |
L(z) =0. (25.5) |
Suppose that, by some hook or crook, we have found a particular solution, which |
we shall call z¡. That is, we have an #¡ for which L(z¡) =0. Now we notice |
that øz, 1s also a solution to the same equation; we can multiply this special |
solution by any constant whatever, and get a new solution. In other words, IŸ we |
had a motion of a certain “size,” then a motion ©wice as “big” is again a solution. |
Proof: L(a#1) = &E(#1) = a-0 =0. |
Next, suppose that, by hook or by crook, we have not only found øøwe solu- |
tion #, but also another solution, z¿. (Remember that when we substituted |
œ = e?®† for finding the transients, we found f#+»o values for œ, that is, two solutions, |
#¡ and #øa.) Now let us show that the combination (# + #a) is also a solution. In |
other words, if we put #ø = #1 + #a, # is again a solution of the equation. Why? |
Because, if U(z¡) = 0 and (4a) = 0, then E(zi+z2) = E(œi)+ E(z:) = 0+0 = 0. |
So if we have found a number of solutions for the motion of a linear system we |
can add them together. |
Combining these two ideas, we see, of course, that we can also add six of |
one and two of the other: IÝ ø is a solution, so is œ#. Therefore any sum of |
these tEwo solutions, such as (œ#i + z2), is also a solution. If we happen to |
be able to fnd three solutions, then we fñnd that any combination of the three |
solutions is again a solution, and so on. Iỳ turns out that the number of what |
--- Trang 438 --- |
we call ?dependent solufions* that we have obtained for our oscillator problem |
is only ưuo. The number of independent solutions that one finds in the general |
case depends upon what is called the number of degrees oƒ freedom. We shall |
not discuss this in detail now, but if we have a second-order difÑferential equation, |
there are only two independent solutions, and we have found both of them; so |
we have the most general solution. |
Now let us go on to another proposition, which applies to the sibtuation in |
which the system is subjected to an outside force. Suppose the equation 1s |
L(z) = F(). (25.6) |
and suppose that we have found a special solution of it. Let us say that Joe”s |
solution is z;, and that E(z;) = Ƒ). Šuppose we want to find yet another |
solution; suppose we add to Joe”s solution one of those that was a solution of the |
free equation (25.5), say z¡. Then we see by (25.3) that |
TE(z„ + #1) = L(z) + L(xì) = F() +0 = F0). (25.7) |
