nth order differential equations
Blur Image
let y₁, y₂, ..., yₙ be n solutions of the homogenous liner equation. then the linear combination y = c₁y₁ + c₂y₂ + ... + cₙyₙ is also a general solution

suppose that the function p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ then given n numbers b₀, b₁, ..., bₙ−₁, the nth order linear equation has a unique solution on the entire interval I that satisfies the n initial conditions y(a) = b₀, y'(a) = b₁, ..., yⁿ⁻¹(a) = bₙ−₁. says any such initial value problem has a unique solution on the whole interval I where the functions in 2 are continuous.(no other solutions with same initial values)

the n functions, f₁, f₂, ..., fₙ are said to be linearly dependent on the interval I provided there exist constants c₁, c₂, ..., cₙ not all zero such that c₁f₁ + c₂f₂ + ... + cₙfₙ on I; that is c₁f₁(x) + c₂f₂(x) + ... + cₙfₙ(x) = 0 for all x in I.(functions are ;linear;y dependent if and only if at least one of them is a combination of the others)
Blur Image
suppose y₁, y₂, ..., yₙ are n solutions of the homogenous nth order equation. let W = W(y₁, y₂, ..., yₙ). if W = 0 then solutions are linearly dependent and of ≠ 0 solutions are independent
