SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL
EQUATIONS BY LAPLACE
TRANSFORMATION
TESST

|. ga. INTRODUCTION
In physics and Engineering sometimes it is required to solve
differential equations subject to some initial conditions. General solution
of such equations contains many arbitrary constants which can be
determined using initial conditions, But Laplace transform method solves
the differential equations giving us the particular solution even without
finding the general solution and eliminates the labour of determining the
constants. Laplace transform method is used to solve many types of ordinary
differential, integral and partial differential equations. However in the
following articles, we will solve the linear differential equations with
constants or with variable coefficients and simultaneous linear equations
with constant coefficients.

8.2, SOLUTION OF LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH
CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS BY TRANSFORM METHOD
Step 1. Take Laplace transform of both sides of differential
equations using the method of transform of derivatives, using
the initial eonditions.
Step 2. Step 1 gives an algebraic equation called subsidiary equation.
Step 3. Divide by the coefficients of which is used in place
of F (s).
‘Take the inverse transform of both sides.
In transform method we are to use the Laplace transform of derivatives.
