1. Argue with proper justification whether the following statement is true or false?
We can find a function g(t, u) that is continuous and has a continuous partial derivative gy (t, y)
on a rectangle containing (0, 1) such that the two functions y1 (t) = (t + 1)2 and y2 (t) = 1 are
both solutions to u0 = g(t, u) on an interval containing 0?
[2]
2. Let u(t) be the analytical solution of a nonlinear IVP of the form
u0 (t) = g(t, u(t))
u(t0 ) = u0 ,
which is defined on an interval I2 . Also, assume that an application of Picard’s existence
theorem gives the interval of existence to be I1 . Then what is the relationship between I1 and
I2 ? [2]
3. Let {φn (t)} be Picard’s iterates to the solution of
u0 (t) = g(t, u(t)) (1)
u(t0 ) = u0 .
such that φ50 (t) = φ51 (t). If u(t) is the exact solution of (1) and M > 0 is the maximum value
attained by g(t, u(t)) on a rectangle R(a, b) : |t − t0 | ≤ a, |u − u0 | ≤ b containing (t0 , u0 ), then
what is the value of |φ100 (t) − u(t)|?
[4]
4. Consider the IVP
u2 + t2 u0 = 0, u(0) = c.
For which value of c, the IVP doesn’t have a solution?
[4]
5. Consider the ODE
u0 = 1 + u2 , u(0) = 0.
on the rectangle R(100, 1) = {(t, u) : |t| ≤ 100, |u| ≤ 1}. What is the value of h for which the
existence of the solution is ensured for |t| ≤ h?
[4]
6. If
 
0 1
A= ,
−1 0
then calculate eAt .
