In order to use the method of variation of parameters we need to know that is a set of fundamental solutions of the associated homogeneous equation y'' + p(x)y' + q(x)y = 0. We know that, in this case, the general solution of the associated homogeneous equation is . The idea behind the method of variation of...

This method is interesting whenever the previous method does not apply (when g(x) is not of the desired form). ... Suppose that a set of independent solutions of the associated homogeneous equation is known. Then a particular solution can be found as ... Method of Variation of Parameters...

The method of Variation of Parameters is a much more general method that can be used in many more cases. However, there are two disadvantages to the method. First, the complimentary solution is absolutely required to do the problem. This is in contrast to the method of undetermined coefficients where it was...

The approach that we will use is similar to reduction of order. Our method will be called variation of parameters. ... Actually more can be said, since we are choosing two parameters to find one solution, we can impose one additional condition on the u1 and u2 and still end up with a solution. We make the assumption that...

For second order nonhomogeneous differential equations, we saw that if the function g(x) does not generate a UC-Set, then we must use the method of variation of parameters. To review this method click here.

If these restrictions do not apply to a given nonhomogeneous linear differential equation, then a more powerful method of determining a particular solution is needed: the method known as variation of parameters.
