Short Answer

Determine the largest interval (a, b) for which Theorem 1 guarantees the existence of a unique solution on (a, b) to the given initial value problem.

x2-1y'''+exy=lnxy34=1,y'34=y''34=0

Hence, the largest interval for the existence of a unique solution on (a, b) to the given initial value problem is 0,1.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Solve the given equation,

The given equation is x2-1y'''+exy=lnx.

Both sides divide by x2-1 in the above equation,

y'''+1x2-1exy=1x2-1lnx

Compare with the standard form of a linear differential equation,

y'''+pxy''+qxy'+rxy=sx

We have,

rx=exx2-1,sx=lnxx2-1

Step 2:Check the continuity

rx=exx2-1 is continuous for all x±1.

sx=lnxx2-1 is continuous in x±1,x>0.

Step 3:The largest interval (a, b)

Now combined on p, q, r, and s continuous for all x0,11,.

The initial condition is defined at x0=34.

And 340,1

Hence, the largest interval for the existence of a unique solution on (a, b) to the given initial value problem is 0,1.
