Method of Undetermined Coefficients

Variation of Parameters which is a little messier but works on a wider range of functions. Undetermined Coefficients

sites.science.oregonstate.edu › math › homeThe Method of Undetermined Coefficients The method of undetermined coefficients is a technique for determining the particular solution to linear constant-coefficient differential equations for certain types of nonhomogeneous terms f(t). This section will cover: f(t)=exp(at) f(t)=polynomial f(t)=sine or cosine f(t)=sum of various terms

razorjr.files.wordpress.com › 2010 › 05Remark: The method of undetermined coefficients applies when the non-homogeneous term b(x), in the non-homogeneous equation is a linear combination of UC functions. Remark: Given a UC function f(x), each successive derivative of f(x) is either itself, a constant multiple of a UC function or a linear combination of UC functions.
