www.math.utah.edu › ~kilpatri › teachingLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS A first-order linear differential equation is one that can be put into the form where and are continuous functions on a given interval. This type of equation occurs frequently in various sciences, as we will see. An example of a linear equation is because, for , it can be written in the form

Let us start with equations in one variable, (1) xt +axt−1 = bt This is a first-order difference equation because only one lag of x appears. In this equation, a is a time-independent coefficient and bt is the forcing term. When bt = 0, the difference
Difference Equations, Part 2 - Duke University
https://services.math.duke.edu/education/ccp/materials/linalg/diffeqs/...A linear difference equation is also called a linear recurrence relation, because it can be used to compute recursively each y k from the preceding y-values. More specifically, if y 0 is specified, then there is a unique sequence {y k} that satisfies the equation, for we can calculate, for k = 0, 1, 2, and so on, y 1 = z 0 - a y 0, y 2 = z 1 ...

people.math.umass.edu › ~lr7q › ps_filesWeek 3, Part 2: Linear di erence equations In this lecture we discuss how to solve linear di erence equations. First order homogeneous equation: You should think of the time being discrete and taking integer values n= 0;1;2; and q n describing the state of some system at time n. We consider an equation of the form First order homogeneous aq n ...
