In summary, the article presents an inhomogeneous equation with a solution of $\phi_2 = p_2\cos(\tau + \alpha) + q_2\sin(\tau + \alpha) + \frac{g_2}{6}p_1^2[\cos(2\tau + 2\alpha) - 3] + \frac{\omega_1}{4}p_1[2\tau\sin(\tau + \alpha) + \cos(\tau + \alpha)]$. However, the conversation mentions a different solution, $\phi_2 = p_2 \cos(\tau + \alpha) + q_2 \sin(\tau + \alpha) + C \

Inthis article, the authors present the inhomogeneous equation

$$\ddot{\phi}_2 + \phi_2 + g_2\phi_1^2 + \omega_1\ddot{\phi}_1 = 0,\tag{11}$$

where

$$ \phi_1 = p_1 \cos(\tau + \alpha), \tag{13}$$

The original solution of the inhomogeneous equation is:

$$\phi_2 = p_2\cos(\tau + \alpha) + q_2\sin(\tau + \alpha) + \frac{g_2}{6}p_1^2[\cos(2\tau + 2\alpha) - 3] $$
$$+ \frac{\omega_1}{4}p_1[2\tau\sin(\tau + \alpha) + \cos(\tau + \alpha)]. \tag{14}$$

but I got
\begin{align}
\phi_2 = p_2 \cos(\tau + \alpha) + q_2 \sin(\tau + \alpha) + \frac{g_2p_1^2}{6} [\cos(2(\tau + \alpha)) -3]+ \omega_1p_1cos(\tau+\alpha)
\end{align}

I got the solution by guessing the particular solution **\begin{align}
\phi_2 = p_2 \cos(\tau + \alpha) + q_2 \sin(\tau + \alpha) + C \cos(2(\tau + \alpha)) + D\sin(2(\tau + \alpha)) + E.
\end{align}**


Where is my mistake?

Have you checked whether your solution satisfies the original equation?
 

Related to What would be the particuler solution guess for the inhomogeneous ODE

1. What is a particular solution guess for an inhomogeneous ODE?

A particular solution guess for an inhomogeneous ODE is an educated estimation of the solution to the differential equation. It is usually in the form of a function that satisfies the given boundary conditions and equations.

2. How is a particular solution guess determined for an inhomogeneous ODE?

A particular solution guess is determined by analyzing the form of the inhomogeneous term in the ODE and using techniques such as undetermined coefficients or variation of parameters. It is important to consider the form of the inhomogeneous term in order to make an appropriate guess.

3. Can a particular solution guess be incorrect for an inhomogeneous ODE?

Yes, a particular solution guess can be incorrect for an inhomogeneous ODE. This can happen if the form of the inhomogeneous term is not properly analyzed or if the guess is not in the correct form. It is important to check the guess by plugging it into the original equation to ensure it satisfies all conditions.

4. Is there a specific method for finding a particular solution guess for an inhomogeneous ODE?

There are several methods for finding a particular solution guess for an inhomogeneous ODE, such as the method of undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters. The specific method used depends on the form of the inhomogeneous term and the characteristics of the ODE.

5. Can a particular solution guess be used to find the general solution for an inhomogeneous ODE?

Yes, a particular solution guess can be used to find the general solution for an inhomogeneous ODE. Once a particular solution is found, it can be combined with the complementary solution (which satisfies the homogeneous equation) to form the general solution for the ODE.
