is there a concise solution?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hm

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

to this: \(y'' - \omega^2 ~ y = C \sinh \omega x\) \(y_c\ = y(\pm \omega)\), which is a real PITA. the fuller eqn is : \(y'' - \omega^2 ~ y = B \sin \omega x + C \sinh \omega x\) that first part comes out real easy using a complex approach, ....

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\sinh x = \dfrac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}\) superposition works smoothly right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

It is pretty easy if we use this result : A particular solution of \(P(D) = e^{ax}\) is \(\dfrac{e^{ax}}{P(a)}\) when \(P(a) \ne 0\) A particular solution of \(P(D) = e^{ax}\) is \(\dfrac{e^{ax}}{P'(a)}\) when \(P(a) = 0\) and \(P(a)\ne 0\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

where \(P(D) = Ay''+By'+Cy\)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i tried \(y_p = A \cosh(\omega x) + B \sinh(\omega x)\). that crashes badly. the computer takes it your way, ganesh. the characteristic equation has \(\pm \omega\) in the \(y_c\) solution. i've got dreadful bandwith, so apologies for crossing. i'm listening now....😀

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

superposition principle says that a particular solution to the eqn : \(P(D) = f(t)+g(t)\) can be obtained by adding particular solution of each of below eqns \(P(D) = f(t)\) \(P(D) = g(t)\)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yep

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fixed a mistake here : It is pretty easy if we use this result : A particular solution of \(P(D) = e^{ax}\) is \(\dfrac{e^{ax}}{P(a)}\) when \(P(a) \ne 0\) A particular solution of \(P(D) = e^{ax}\) is \(\dfrac{\color{red}{x}e^{ax}}{P'(a)}\) when \(P(a) = 0\) and \(P(a)\ne 0\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(y'' - \omega^2 ~ y = C \sinh \omega x =\frac{C}{2}e^{\omega x} -\frac{C}{2}e^{-\omega x}\tag{1}\) Here \(P(D) = D^2 - \omega^2\) Notice that \(P(\pm \omega) = 0\). A particular solution to \((1)\) is : \[y_p = \dfrac{xC/2e^{\omega x}}{P'(\omega)} + \dfrac{-xC/2e^{-x}}{P'(-\omega)} =\dfrac{xC/2e^x}{2\omega} + \dfrac{-xC/2e^{-x}}{-2\omega} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah that looks correct finally

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

does that simplify to \(y_p = \dfrac{C}{\omega}x\cosh \omega x\)

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yes
