Exact Equations
Recall that Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial N}{\partial x}}
in order for the differential equation to be considered exact
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{align} \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} &= \frac{\cos{y}}{y} - \frac{\sin{y}}{y^2} \\ \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} &= \frac{2}{y} \left( -\mathrm{e}^{-x} \, \cos{x} - \sin{x} \, \mathrm{e}^{-x} \right) \end{align}}
Equation is not exact so we can stop here.
We multiply by the integrating factor
to obtain
Now we differentiate
with respect to
Implicit solution:
Equilibrium solution:
Is it stable/unstable/semi-stable?
- for
, the function is decreasing.
- for
, the function is increasing.
- unstable.
Phase line:
-----------<-----------|----------->-----------
y < 0 0 y > 0
y' < 0 (dec) y' > 0 (inc)
y'' < 0 (ccdn) y'' > 0 (ccup)
Concavity?
Linear vs Nonlinear

and are continuous on an open interval 
,

- solution to init. val. problem exists
- solution is unique
- solution exists on

- solution to init. val. problem exists
- solution is unique
- solution exists on interval included in

Exercise 13
nonlinear, so
exists on
Solution does not exist on line
Exercise 12
Linear diff eq. in "standard" form:
Function
exists on
and
:
There exists a unique solution to the initial value problem
and the domain of the solution is on (0, 3).
