8. SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :
Differential equations provide another representation for the input output characteristics of LTIsystems. The general form of the linear, constant coefficient differential equation is∑a

Solving Differential Equations:The Natural Response:
It is the output of the system when input is zero. For a continuous time system, naturalresponse y
n
(t) is the solution to the homogenous equation∑a

y(t) = 0The natural response is of the formy

are the N roots of the systems characteristic equation.
Forced response:
The forced response is the solution to the differential equation for the given input. Theforced response is represented by y
p
(t) and is similar to the input.
MATLAB FUNCTIONS:Dsolve:
DSOLVE Symbolic solution of ordinary differential equations.DSOLVE('eqn1','eqn2', ...) accepts symbolic equations representingordinary differential equations and initial conditions. Severalequations or initial conditions may be grouped together, separatedby commas, in a single input argument. By default, the independent variable is 't'. The independent variablemay be changed from 't' to some other symbolic variable by includingthat variable as the last input argument. The letter 'D' denotes differentiation with respect to the independentvariable, i.e. usually d/dt. A "D" followed by a digit denotesrepeated differentiation; e.g., D2 is d^2/dt^2. Any charactersimmediately following these differentiation operators are taken to bethe dependent variables; e.g., D3y denotes the third derivative
