Systems of ODEs

A slecture by Yijia Wen

4.0 Abstract

Similar as systems of normal equations, several ODEs can also form a system. A typical system of $ n $

coupled first-order ODE looks like:

$ \frac{dx_1}{dt}=f_1(t,x_1,x_2,...x_n) $

$ \frac{dx_2}{dt}=f_2(t,x_1,x_2,...x_n) $

...

$ \frac{dx_n}{dt}=f_n(t,x_1,x_2,...x_n) $

To solve them, we introduce a method with eigenvectors and eigenvalues of matrices. In this tutorial, we are doing systems of two ODEs (hence $ 2×2 $ matrices involved) to reduce the work.
