LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF SECOND
AND HIGHER ORDER WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS
A linear differential equation with constant coefficient is that in which the dependent
variable and its differential coefficients occur only in the first degree and are not multiplied
together, and the coefficients are all constants.
dny d n1 y d n 2 y
Thus the equation a0 n a1 n1 a2 n2 ........ an y X .............. (1)
dx dx dx
Where a0 , a1 , a2 ,......an are all constants and is any function of is a linear differential
equation of n th order.
Students are already familiar with the method of solving the linear differential equation of
first order. Now in this section we shall learn the method of solving linear differential
equations with constant coefficients of degree
d dy
Operators: The part of the symbol may be regarded as an operator, such that when it
dx dx
operates on the result is the derivative of
d2 d3 dn
Similarly, , ,, n may be regarded as operators.
dx 2 dx3 dx
d d2 d3 dn
In symbolic form we denote D, 2 D 2 , 3 D 3 ,……, n D n
dx dx dx dx
Thus equation (1) becomes
a 0 D n y a1 D n 1 y a 2 D n 2 y ........ a n y X
Or
a D
0
n
a1 D n1
a2 D n3 ........ an y X .............. (2)
We denote a0 Dn a1 D n1 a2 D n3 ....... an = f D is regarded as a single operator,
operating on
Thus equation (2) can be written as f D y X .
Method of solving the differential equation (1) when the right hand side function is
zero(Homogeneous differential equations), i.e. f ( D) 0 .

Case1: When all the roots of the A.E.(2) are real and distinct.
Case2: When two roots of the A.E (2) are equal and all others are different.
Let m1 m2 m (say) , m3 .....mn be the real roots of (2) then the solution (1)
becomes y c1 c2 xe m1x c3e m3x ........ cn e mn x
Corollary: In case of three roots of A.E. are equal i.e. m1 m2 m3 m then the complete
solution of (1) is y c1 c2 x c3 x 2 e mx c4 e m4 x ....... cn e mn x
Case3: When two roots of the A.E (2) are imaginary and the rest are all real and
distinct.
Let m1 i and m2 i , m3 , m4 ,......mn be roots of the equation (2).
Then the complete solution of (2) is
y ex A. cosx B.sin x c3e m3x ....... cn e mn x
Corollary: In case of the A.E. have two equal pairs of imaginary roots i.e. i , i
then the complete solution is

So far in the previous unit we discussed finding the general solution of the linear
differential equation when the RHS function is zero. Now we shall see a relation
between the solution of the linear equation when f (x) not equal to zero and the solution of
the linear equation when f (x) is zero.

This is a linear differential equation with constant coefficient. This can be solved by finding
CF and PI in terms of z.
Note: In equation (1) if x n is replaced by ax bn , then such an equations is called
Legendre’s differential equation. We can reduce the Legendre’s differential equation to
linear differential equation with constant coefficient by using the substitution ax b e z or

natural length of the string and e is its elongation due to weight mg. Also find the
displacement s of particle when initially s=0, v = 0.
Solu:
Let be the elastic horizontal string with the end fixed and having a particle of mass
attached to the end .
At any time t, let the particle be at the point of length; so that the elongation is .
Since for the elongation , tension = .
Therefore the elongation , tension =
Tension being the only horizontal force, the equation of motion is
or .....................................(i) which is the required equation of
motion.
Now (i) can be written as , where
Solving this we get

When =0 , =
i.e.,
when =0 , =0;
=0
Substituting the values of and in (iii), we have
