Chapter 14
Differential Equations
In this Chapter we present examples of solving ordinary differential
equations (ODE) using calculator functions.
A differential equation is an
equation involving derivatives of the independent variable.
In most cases,
we seek the dependent function that satisfies the differential equation.
The CALC/DIFF menu
The DIFFERENTIAL EQNS.. sub-menu within the CALC (
„Ö
) menu
provides functions for the solution of differential equations.
The menu is
listed below with system flag 117 set to CHOOSE boxes:
These functions are briefly described next.
They will be described in more
detail in later parts of this Chapter.
Solution to linear and non-linear equations
An equation in which the dependent variable and all its pertinent
derivatives are of the first degree is referred to as a linear differential
equation
.
Otherwise, the equation is said to be non-linear
.
Function LDEC
The calculator provides function LDEC (Linear Differential Equation
Command) to find the general solution to a linear ODE of any order with
constant coefficients, whether it is homogeneous or not.
This function
requires you to provide two pieces of input:
DESOLVE:
Differential Equation SOLVEr, solves differential equations,
when possible
ILAP:
Inverse LAPlace transform, L
-1
[F(s)] = f(t)
LAP:
LAPlace transform, L[f(t)]=F(s)
LDEC:
Linear Differential Equation Command
