Cauchy's Equation Question 1:
Let y(x) be the solution of the differential equation
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 0.75
Cauchy's Equation Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- This is a first-order differential equation solvable by substitution.
- Substitute y/x = t to convert it into a variable separable form.
- The equation is solved by integrating both sides and using the initial condition y(1) = 0 to find the constant of integration.
- Final calculation involves evaluating y at x = e and x = e², then computing the required expression.
Calculation:
Given,
x² dy/dx + xy = x² + y²
⇒ dy/dx + y/x = 1 + (y/x)²
Let y/x = t, then y = xt
⇒ dy/dx = t + x dt/dx
Substitute in equation:
⇒ t + x dt/dx + t = 1 + t²
⇒ x dt/dx + 2t = 1 + t²
⇒ x dt/dx = (t − 1)²
⇒ dt/(t − 1)² = dx/x
Integrate both sides:
⇒ ∫ dt/(t − 1)² = ∫ dx/x
⇒ −1/(t − 1) = ln x + C
⇒ −1/(y/x − 1) = ln x + C
⇒ −x/(y − x) = ln x + C
Use y(1) = 0:
⇒ −1/(0 − 1) = ln 1 + C
⇒ 1 = C
So, equation is:
−x/(y − x) = ln x + 1 ....(i)
Put x = e:
−e/(y − e) = 1 + 1
⇒ −e/(y − e) = 2
⇒ −e = 2(y − e)
⇒ e = 2e − 2y
⇒ y = e/2
Put x = e²:
−e²/(y − e²) = ln e² + 1
⇒ −e²/(y − e²) = 2 + 1 = 3
⇒ −e² = 3y − 3e²
⇒ 2e² = 3y
⇒ y = 2e²/3
Find 2(y(e))² / y(e²):
⇒ 2 × (e/2)² ÷ (2e²/3)
⇒ 2 × e²/4 ÷ (2e²/3)
⇒ (e²/2) ÷ (2e²/3)
⇒ (e²/2) × (3/2e²) = 3/4
∴ The required value is 0.75
Cauchy's Equation Question 2:
A function of a complex variable z is defined by the integral f(z) =
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Cauchy's Equation Question 2 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
Singular point: A point at which a function f(z) is not analytic is known as a singular point or singularity of the function.
For example, the function 1/(z-2) has a singular point at z - 2 = 0 i.e. z = 2.
(we have to make the denominator 0 to find the singular point)
⇒ If z = a is a singularity of f(z) and if there is no other singularity within a small circle surrounding the point z = a then it is said to be an isolated singularity of the function f(z); otherwise it is called non-isolated.
An isolated singular point is also called a simple pole if the order is 1.
Definition of residue at a pole: Let z = a be simple of a function f(z)
Then Residue at z = a ⇒
Cauchy's residue theorem :
If f(z) is analytic in a closed curve C except at a finite number of poles within C, then
EXPLANATION:
Given the function.
f(z) =
we find the simple pole by making the denominator 0.
∴ w - z = 0 ⇒ w = z
Applying Cauchy's residue theorem
⇒ f(z) = f(2-i) = 2πi (sum of the residues within contour) = 2πi (1-4i) = 8π + 2πi
Hence the correct answer is option 3.
Cauchy's Equation Question 3:
While numerically solving the differential equation \(\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy^2 = 0, \) y(0) = 1 using Euler’s predictor corrector (improved Euler-Cauchy) method with a step size of 0.2, the value of y after the first step is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Cauchy's Equation Question 3 Detailed Solution
Euler’s predictor-corrector (improved Euler-Cauchy) method:
Step – 1: First the value is predicted for a step(t+1) : \(y_{t+1, p} = y_t + h\times f(x_t, y_t),\)
here h is the step size for each increment.
Step – 2: Then the predicted value is corrected : \(y_{t+1, c} = y_t + h \times\frac{f(x_t, y_t)+f(x_{t+1}, y_{t+1, p})}{2}\)
Step – 3: The incrementation is done : \(x_{t+1}=x_t+h, t=t+1\)
Step – 4: Check for continuation if, \(x_{t} then go to step -1.
Step – 5: Terminate the process.
Solution:
Here,\( y(0) = 1 \Rightarrow x_0=0 , y_0=1, h=0.2, f(x,y)=-2xy^2\)
\(y_{1,p}=y_0+0.2\times f(0,1)\)
\(\Rightarrow x_1=0.2+0=0.2\)
\(\Rightarrow y_{1,p}=1+0.2\times 0=1\)
\(y_{1, c} = y_{0} + h \times\frac{f(x_0, y_0)+f(x_{1}, y_{1, p})}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow y_{1, c} = 1+ 0.2 \times\frac{f(0, 1)+f(0.2, 1)}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow y_{1, c} = 1+ 0.2 \times\frac{0+(-0.4)}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow y_{1, c} = 1-0.04=0.96\)
Cauchy's Equation Question 4:
Solve:

where
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Cauchy's Equation Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If the derivation power and the variable power are the same, then the equation is Cauchy - Euler equation.
Now,
It can be solved by putting x = ez and log x = z and hence d/dz = θ
Analysis:
xD = θ
x2D2 = θ(θ - 1), x = ez, log x = z
∴ (θ2 - θ - θ + 1) y = z
(θ2 - 2θ + 1) y = z
Now,
C.F:
θ2 - 2θ + 1 = 0
m2 - 2m + 1 = 0
∴ (m - 1)(m - 1) = 0
∴ C.F = ez(C1 + C2z)
= ez (C1 + C2z)
P.I:
=[1 + (θ2 - 2θ)]-1z
We know,
(1 + x)-1 = 1 - x + x2 - x3
∴ P.I = z - θ2z + 2θz
= z + 2θz
Now,
∴ P.I = z + 2
= log x + 2
∴ y = ez(C1 + C2z) + log x + 2
= x(c1 + c2 log x) + log x + 2
Cauchy's Equation Question 5:
Solve:
(x2D2 - 4xD + 6)y = x2
where
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Cauchy's Equation Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If the derivation power and the variable power are the same, then the equation is Cauchy - Euler equation.
Now,
It can be solved by putting x = ez and log x = z and hence d/dz = θ
Analysis:
(x2D2 - 4xD + 6)y = x2 ---(1)
xD = θ
x2D2 = θ (θ - 1)
substitute in equation (1):
[(θ2 - θ) - 4θ + 6]y = e2z ---(2)
It becomes linear differential equation with real constants.
f(θ) y = ϕ (z)
f(θ) = θ2 - 5θ + 6, ϕ (z) = e2z
C.F:
θ2 - 5θ + 6 = 0
m2 - 5m + 6 = 0
(m - 2) (m - 3) = 0
∴ C.F = C1e2z + C2e3z
putting θ = 2, f(θ) = 0
hence,
= -ze2z
∴ y = c1e2z + c2e3z - ze2z
putting, x = ez
∴ y = c1x2 + c2x3 - x2 logx

Download Solution PDFWe are given DE shown below;
By putting x = ez we can replace
⇒ (D2 – 2D + 1)y = z (Here F(D) = (D - 1)2
⇒ F(D) = (D - 1)2 = (1 - D)2 has two equal roots Q = 1, 1
So its C⋅F = (C1 + C2z)ez
⇒ C⋅F = (C1 + C2 log x)x (∵ x = ez)
& its P⋅I = [F(D)]-1⋅z = (1 - D)-2⋅ z
Since expansion of (1 - D)-2 = (1 + 2D + 3D2 + 4D3 + …)
⇒ P⋅I = [1 + 2D + 3D2 + 4D3 + …](z)
P⋅I = (1 + 2D + 3D2 + 4D3 + …)(z)
Where
⇒ P⋅I = z + 2
⇒ P⋅I = log x + 2 (since x = ez)
So net solution of QE will be P⋅I + C⋅F
⇒ y = C⋅F + P⋅I = (C1 + C2 log x)x + log x + 2
⇒ y = (C1 + C2 log x) x + log x + 2
