In summary, Blumfeld0's solution is that H(t) is equal to a t w/k - c t w/k H^1/2 + k w/k (Constant of integration)- b Cos[wt]/k. However, Mathematica 5.2 cannot solve this equation and indicates that it does not satisfy the ODE.

Hi all!
How to solve this ODE?
[tex] \frac{a+b-c\sqrt{H}}{k}=\frac{dH}{dt}[/tex] , where a,b, c and k are constants; H is the variable

I am up to this step:
[tex]\int \frac{dH}{a+b-c\sqrt{H}}=\int \frac{dt}{k}[/tex]
and I don't know how to integrate the left integral, can anyone help please?

Hi,


[tex] I = \int \frac { dH} { a + b- c \sqrt H } [/tex]

Let u2= H >>> 2u du = dH

[tex] \therefore I = \int \frac {2u } { a + b- c u } du
= \frac {-2} {c} \int \frac { -cu + a + b- (a + b) } { a + b- cu } du
= = \frac {-2} {c} \left( 1 - \frac { a + b} { -c } \int \frac { -c } { a + b- cu } du \right)[/tex]

[tex] = \frac { -2 } {c} u - \frac { 2(a + b) } {c^2} \ln | a + b- c u | + C
= \frac { -2 } {c} \sqrt {H} - \frac { 2(a + b) } {c^2} \ln | a + b- c \sqrt {H} | + C[/tex]

Many thanks.
But it is very hard to have a closed form of H in terms of t for the solution then?

It is not necessary to have an explicit relation, implicit relation is sufficuint

oops..sorry..
I have made a mistake in modelling...
The differential equation should be:
[tex]\frac{a+bsinwt-c\sqrt{H}}{k}=\frac{dH}{dt}[/tex]
which again I don't know how to solve...
I simply can't separate it...
please help..

I don't know how to do this one but I know the answer using Mathematica

H[t]= a t w/k - c t w/k H^1/2 + k w/k (Constant of integration)- b Cos[wt]/k

Hi blumfeld0,
is your answer for the amended ODE I just posted?
 
  • #8
to confirm, is the solution:
[tex]H(t)=\frac{atw}{k}-ct\frac{w}{k}\sqrt{H}+\frac{kw}{k}(constant of integration)-bcos\frac{wt}{k}[/tex]

but the "k" can be cancelled?
 
  • #9
can anyone help confirm the answer?
 
  • #10
Mathematica 5.2 cannot solve this:

Code:
[tex]
\text{DSolve[}h^{'}[t]==\frac{a+b Sin[\omega t]-c\sqrt{h[t]}}{k},h,t]
[/tex]

So Blumfeld, how did you arrive at that expression?

Also, when I back-substitute yours into the ODE, Mathematica does not indicate it satisfies the ODE.

FAQ: Solving ODE: How to Integrate Left Integral?

What is an ODE?

An ODE (ordinary differential equation) is a mathematical expression that relates the rate of change of a variable to the value of the variable itself. It is used to describe how a system changes over time.

What is an integral?

An integral is a mathematical operation that represents the area under a curve on a graph. In the context of solving ODEs, it is used to find the general solution to the equation.

How do you integrate a left integral?

To integrate a left integral, you need to use a specific method called the method of integration by parts. This involves breaking down the left integral into smaller parts and applying the integration by parts formula.

What are the steps for solving an ODE using left integration?

The steps for solving an ODE using left integration are:

  1. Identify the ODE and determine the variable to be solved for.
  2. Use integration by parts to integrate the left integral.
  3. Separate the equation into two parts, one containing the variable and the other containing the constant.
  4. Solve for the constant by substituting in known values.
  5. Substitute the constant value into the equation to find the general solution.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when solving ODEs with left integration?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving ODEs with left integration are:

  • Forgetting to apply the integration by parts formula correctly.
  • Not separating the equation into two parts.
  • Incorrectly solving for the constant.
  • Forgetting to substitute the constant value into the equation to find the general solution.
