Differential equations in total differentials. Equation in total differentials Curvilinear integrals restoration of the total differential

Having the standard form $P\left(x,y\right)\cdot dx+Q\left(x,y\right)\cdot dy=0$, in which the left side is the total differential of some function $F\left( x,y\right)$ is called a total differential equation.

The equation in total differentials can always be rewritten as $dF\left(x,y\right)=0$, where $F\left(x,y\right)$ is a function such that $dF\left(x, y\right)=P\left(x,y\right)\cdot dx+Q\left(x,y\right)\cdot dy$.

Let's integrate both sides of the equation $dF\left(x,y\right)=0$: $\int dF\left(x,y\right)=F\left(x,y\right) $; the integral of the zero right-hand side is equal to an arbitrary constant $C$. Thus, the general solution to this equation in implicit form is $F\left(x,y\right)=C$.

In order for a given differential equation to be an equation in total differentials, it is necessary and sufficient that the condition $\frac(\partial P)(\partial y) =\frac(\partial Q)(\partial x) $ be satisfied. If the specified condition is met, then there is a function $F\left(x,y\right)$, for which we can write: $dF=\frac(\partial F)(\partial x) \cdot dx+\frac(\partial F)(\partial y)\cdot dy=P\left(x,y\right)\cdot dx+Q\left(x,y\right)\cdot dy$, from which we obtain two relations: $\frac(\ partial F)(\partial x) =P\left(x,y\right)$ and $\frac(\partial F)(\partial y) =Q\left(x,y\right)$.

We integrate the first relation $\frac(\partial F)(\partial x) =P\left(x,y\right)$ over $x$ and get $F\left(x,y\right)=\int P\ left(x,y\right)\cdot dx +U\left(y\right)$, where $U\left(y\right)$ is an arbitrary function of $y$.

Let us select it so that the second relation $\frac(\partial F)(\partial y) =Q\left(x,y\right)$ is satisfied. To do this, we differentiate the resulting relation for $F\left(x,y\right)$ with respect to $y$ and equate the result to $Q\left(x,y\right)$. We get: $\frac(\partial )(\partial y) \left(\int P\left(x,y\right)\cdot dx \right)+U"\left(y\right)=Q\left( x,y\right)$.

The further solution is:

from the last equality we find $U"\left(y\right)$;
integrate $U"\left(y\right)$ and find $U\left(y\right)$;
substitute $U\left(y\right)$ into the equality $F\left(x,y\right)=\int P\left(x,y\right)\cdot dx +U\left(y\right)$ and finally we obtain the function $F\left(x,y\right)$.

We find the difference:

We integrate $U"\left(y\right)$ over $y$ and find $U\left(y\right)=\int \left(-2\right)\cdot dy =-2\cdot y$.

Find the result: $F\left(x,y\right)=V\left(x,y\right)+U\left(y\right)=5\cdot x\cdot y^(2) +3\cdot x\cdot y-2\cdot y$.

We write the general solution in the form $F\left(x,y\right)=C$, namely:

Find a particular solution $F\left(x,y\right)=F\left(x_(0) ,y_(0) \right)$, where $y_(0) =3$, $x_(0) =2 $:

The partial solution has the form: $5\cdot x\cdot y^(2) +3\cdot x\cdot y-2\cdot y=102$.

some functions. If we restore a function from its total differential, we will find the general integral of the differential equation. Below we will talk about method of restoring a function from its total differential.

The left side of a differential equation is the total differential of some function U(x, y) = 0, if the condition is met.

Because full differential function U(x, y) = 0 This , which means that when the condition is met, it is stated that .

Then, .

From the first equation of the system we obtain . We find the function using the second equation of the system:

This way we will find the required function U(x, y) = 0.

Example.

Let's find the general solution of the DE .

Solution.

In our example. The condition is met because:

Then, the left side of the initial differential equation is the total differential of some function U(x, y) = 0. We need to find this function.

Because is the total differential of the function U(x, y) = 0, Means:

We integrate by x 1st equation of the system and differentiate with respect to y result:

From the 2nd equation of the system we obtain . Means:

Where WITH- arbitrary constant.

Thus, the general integral of the given equation will be .

There is a second one method of calculating a function from its total differential. It consists of taking the line integral of a fixed point (x 0 , y 0) to a point with variable coordinates (x, y): . In this case, the value of the integral is independent of the path of integration. It is convenient to take as an integration path a broken line whose links are parallel to the coordinate axes.

Example.

Let's find the general solution of the DE .

Solution.

We check the fulfillment of the condition:

Thus, the left side of the differential equation is the complete differential of some function U(x, y) = 0. Let's find this function by calculating the curvilinear integral of the point (1; 1) before (x, y). As a path of integration we take a broken line: the first section of the broken line is passed along a straight line y = 1 from point (1, 1) before (x, 1), the second section of the path takes a straight line segment from the point (x, 1) before (x, y):

So, the general solution of the remote control looks like this: .

Example.

Let us determine the general solution of the DE.

Solution.

Because , which means that the condition is not met, then the left side of the differential equation will not be a complete differential of the function and you need to use the second solution method (this equation is a differential equation with separable variables).

In this topic, we will look at the method of reconstructing a function from its total differential and give examples of problems with a complete analysis of the solution.

It happens that differential equations (DE) of the form P (x, y) d x + Q (x, y) d y = 0 may contain complete differentials of some functions on the left sides. Then we can find the general integral of the differential equation if we first reconstruct the function from its total differential.

Example 1

Consider the equation P (x, y) d x + Q (x, y) d y = 0. The left-hand side contains the differential of a certain function U(x, y) = 0. To do this, the condition ∂ P ∂ y ≡ ∂ Q ∂ x must be satisfied.

The total differential of the function U (x, y) = 0 has the form d U = ∂ U ∂ x d x + ∂ U ∂ y d y. Taking into account the condition ∂ P ∂ y ≡ ∂ Q ∂ x we obtain:

P (x , y) d x + Q (x , y) d y = ∂ U ∂ x d x + ∂ U ∂ y d y

∂ U ∂ x = P (x, y) ∂ U ∂ y = Q (x, y)

By transforming the first equation from the resulting system of equations, we can obtain:

U (x, y) = ∫ P (x, y) d x + φ (y)

We can find the function φ (y) from the second equation of the previously obtained system:
∂ U (x, y) ∂ y = ∂ ∫ P (x, y) d x ∂ y + φ y " (y) = Q (x, y) ⇒ φ (y) = ∫ Q (x, y) - ∂ ∫ P (x , y) d x ∂ y d y

This is how we found the desired function U (x, y) = 0.

Example 2

Find the general solution for the differential equation (x 2 - y 2) d x - 2 x y d y = 0.

Solution

P (x, y) = x 2 - y 2, Q (x, y) = - 2 x y

Let's check whether the condition ∂ P ∂ y ≡ ∂ Q ∂ x is satisfied:

∂ P ∂ y = ∂ (x 2 - y 2) ∂ y = - 2 y ∂ Q ∂ x = ∂ (- 2 x y) ∂ x = - 2 y

Our condition is met.

Based on calculations, we can conclude that the left side of the original differential equation is the total differential of some function U (x, y) = 0. We need to find this function.

Since (x 2 - y 2) d x - 2 x y d y is the total differential of the function U (x, y) = 0, then

∂ U ∂ x = x 2 - y 2 ∂ U ∂ y = - 2 x y

Let's integrate the first equation of the system with respect to x:

U (x, y) = ∫ (x 2 - y 2) d x + φ (y) = x 3 3 - x y 2 + φ (y)

Now we differentiate the resulting result with respect to y:

∂ U ∂ y = ∂ x 3 3 - x y 2 + φ (y) ∂ y = - 2 x y + φ y " (y)

Transforming the second equation of the system, we obtain: ∂ U ∂ y = - 2 x y . It means that
- 2 x y + φ y " (y) = - 2 x y φ y " (y) = 0 ⇒ φ (y) = ∫ 0 d x = C

where C is an arbitrary constant.

We get: U (x, y) = x 3 3 - x y 2 + φ (y) = x 3 3 - x y 2 + C. The general integral of the original equation is x 3 3 - x y 2 + C = 0.

Let's look at another method for finding a function using a known total differential. It involves the use of a curvilinear integral from a fixed point (x 0, y 0) to a point with variable coordinates (x, y):

U (x , y) = ∫ (x 0 , y 0) (x , y) P (x , y) d x + Q (x , y) d y + C

In such cases, the value of the integral does not depend in any way on the path of integration. We can take as an integration path a broken line, the links of which are located parallel to the coordinate axes.

Example 3

Find the general solution to the differential equation (y - y 2) d x + (x - 2 x y) d y = 0.

Solution

Let's check whether the condition ∂ P ∂ y ≡ ∂ Q ∂ x is satisfied:

∂ P ∂ y = ∂ (y - y 2) ∂ y = 1 - 2 y ∂ Q ∂ x = ∂ (x - 2 x y) ∂ x = 1 - 2 y

It turns out that the left side of the differential equation is represented by the total differential of some function U (x, y) = 0. In order to find this function, it is necessary to calculate the line integral of the point (1 ; 1) before (x, y). Let us take as a path of integration a broken line, sections of which will pass in a straight line y = 1 from point (1, 1) to (x, 1) and then from point (x, 1) to (x, y):

∫ (1 , 1) (x , y) y - y 2 d x + (x - 2 x y) d y = = ∫ (1 , 1) (x , 1) (y - y 2) d x + (x - 2 x y ) d y + + ∫ (x , 1) (x , y) (y - y 2) d x + (x - 2 x y) d y = = ∫ 1 x (1 - 1 2) d x + ∫ 1 y (x - 2 x y) d y = (x y - x y 2) y 1 = = x y - x y 2 - (x 1 - x 1 2) = x y - x y 2

We have obtained a general solution to a differential equation of the form x y - x y 2 + C = 0.

Example 4

Determine the general solution to the differential equation y · cos x d x + sin 2 x d y = 0 .

Solution

Let's check whether the condition ∂ P ∂ y ≡ ∂ Q ∂ x is satisfied.

Since ∂ (y · cos x) ∂ y = cos x, ∂ (sin 2 x) ∂ x = 2 sin x · cos x, then the condition will not be satisfied. This means that the left side of the differential equation is not the complete differential of the function. This is a differential equation with separable variables and other solutions are suitable for solving it.

Differential called an equation of the form

P(x,y)dx + Q(x,y)dy = 0 ,

where the left side is the total differential of any function of two variables.

Let us denote the unknown function of two variables (this is what needs to be found when solving equations in total differentials) by F and we'll get back to it soon.

The first thing you should pay attention to is that there must be a zero on the right side of the equation, and the sign connecting the two terms on the left side must be a plus.

Second, some equality must be observed, which confirms that this differential equation is an equation in total differentials. This check is a mandatory part of the algorithm for solving equations in total differentials (it is in the second paragraph of this lesson), so the process of finding a function F quite labor-intensive and it is important to make sure at the initial stage that we do not waste time.

So, the unknown function that needs to be found is denoted by F. The sum of partial differentials for all independent variables gives the total differential. Therefore, if the equation is a total differential equation, the left side of the equation is the sum of the partial differentials. Then by definition

dF = P(x,y)dx + Q(x,y)dy .

Let us recall the formula for calculating the total differential of a function of two variables:

Solving the last two equalities, we can write

We differentiate the first equality with respect to the variable “y”, the second - with respect to the variable “x”:

which is a condition for a given differential equation to truly be a total differential equation.

Algorithm for solving differential equations in total differentials

Step 1. Make sure that the equation is a total differential equation. In order for the expression was the total differential of some function F(x, y) is necessary and sufficient so that . In other words, you need to take the partial derivative with respect to x and the partial derivative with respect to y another term and, if these derivatives are equal, then the equation is a total differential equation.

Step 2. Write down a system of partial differential equations that make up the function F:

Step 3. Integrate the first equation of the system - by x (y F:

,
y.

An alternative option (if it’s easier to find the integral this way) is to integrate the second equation of the system - by y (x remains a constant and is taken out of the integral sign). In this way the function is also restored F:

,
where is a yet unknown function of X.

Step 4. The result of step 3 (the found general integral) is differentiated by y(alternatively - according to x) and equate to the second equation of the system:

and in an alternative version - to the first equation of the system:

From the resulting equation we determine (alternatively)

Step 5. The result of step 4 is to integrate and find (alternatively, find ).

Step 6. Substitute the result of step 5 into the result of step 3 - into the function restored by partial integration F. Arbitrary constant C often written after the equal sign - on the right side of the equation. Thus we obtain a general solution to the differential equation in total differentials. It, as already mentioned, has the form F(x, y) = C.

What error is most likely to occur here? The most common mistakes are to take a partial integral over one of the variables for the usual integral of a product of functions and try to integrate by parts or a replacement variable, and also to take the partial derivative of two factors as the derivative of a product of functions and look for the derivative using the corresponding formula.

This must be remembered: when calculating a partial integral with respect to one of the variables, the other is a constant and is taken out of the sign of the integral, and when calculating the partial derivative with respect to one of the variables, the other is also a constant and the derivative of the expression is found as the derivative of the “acting” variable multiplied by the constant.

Among equations in total differentials It is not uncommon to find examples with an exponential function. This is the next example. It is also notable for the fact that its solution uses an alternative option.

Example 2. Solve differential equation

Step 1. Let's make sure that the equation is equation in total differentials . To do this, we find the partial derivative with respect to x one term on the left side of the expression

and the partial derivative with respect to y another term
. These derivatives are equal, which means the equation is equation in total differentials .

Step 2. Let us write a system of partial differential equations that make up the function F:

Step 3. Let's integrate the second equation of the system - by y (x remains a constant and is taken out of the integral sign). Thus we restore the function F:

where is a yet unknown function of X.

Step 4. We differentiate the result of step 3 (the found general integral) with respect to X

and equate to the first equation of the system:

From the resulting equation we determine:
.

Step 5. We integrate the result of step 4 and find:
.

Step 6. We substitute the result of step 5 into the result of step 3 - into the function restored by partial integration F. Arbitrary constant C write after the equal sign. Thus we get the total solving a differential equation in total differentials :

In the following example we return from an alternative option to the main one.

Consider the relation:

Topic 8.2. Linear differential equations

Definition 8.5. Differential equation

The general form of a linear differential equation is represented by the following relation:

(8.8)

If in relation (8.8) the right side
, then such an equation is called linear homogeneous. In the case when the right side
, then such an equation is called linear inhomogeneous.

Let us show that equation (8.8) can be integrated in quadratures.

At the first stage, we consider a linear homogeneous equation.

Such an equation is an equation with separable variables. Really,

;

The last relation determines the general solution of a linear homogeneous equation.

To find a general solution to a linear inhomogeneous equation, the method of varying the derivative of a constant is used. The idea of the method is that the general solution of a linear inhomogeneous equation is in the same form as the solution of the corresponding homogeneous equation, but an arbitrary constant replaced by some function
to be determined. So we have:

(8.9)

Substituting into relation (8.8) the expressions corresponding
And
, we get

Substituting the last expression into relation (8.9), we obtain the general integral of the linear inhomogeneous equation.

Thus, the general solution of a linear inhomogeneous equation is determined by two quadratures: the general solution of a linear homogeneous equation and a particular solution of a linear inhomogeneous equation.
