First Order Ordinary Differential
Equations
- Linear Equations
The general solution is
where
- Separable Equations
The general solution is given by
or
H(y) = G(y) + C.
- Homogeneous Equations
The differential equation
The substitution(then y = zx) leads to the
- Bernoulli Equations
The substitution z = y 1 – n
leads to the linear equation
- Riccati Equations
If a particular solution y1 is known, then the general solution can be
obtained with the help of substitution, which leads to the
first order linear equation
- Exact and Nonexact Equations
The equation
M(x, y) dx + N(x, y) dy = 0
is called exact if, and nonexact otherwise.
The general solution is
- Radioactive Decay
where y(t) is the amount of radioactive element at time t, k is the rate
of decay.
The solution is y(t) = y0 e
– ky , where y0 = y(0) is the initial
amount.
- Newtor’s Law of Cooling
where T(t) is the temperature of an object at time t, S is the temperature
of the surrounding
environment, k is a positive constant.
The solution is
T(t) = S + (T0 – S)
e – kt,
where T0 = T(0) is the
initial temperature of the object at time t = 0.
- Population Dynamics (Logistic Model)
where P(t) is population at time t, k is a positive constant, M is
limiting size for the population.
The solution of the differential equation is,
where P0 = P(0) is the initial
population at time t = 0.
