Short Answer

Let be an matrix and a scalar. Consider the following two systems:

dxdt=Ax (l)dcdt=(A+kln)c (ll)

Show that if x(t) is a solution of the system (l) then role="math" localid="1659701582223" c(t)=ektx(t) is a solution of the system (ll).

Yes, ct=ektxt is a solution of the system dcdt=(A+kln)c.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Determine the equation of the solution.

Consider xt and ct is a solution of the system dxdt=Ax and dcdt=A+klnc respectively.

Assume λ1,λ2,λ3,,λn be the Eigen values of the matrix A then there exist Eigen vectors v1,v2.v3,,vn such that x1(t)=c1eλ1tv1+c2eλ2tv2+ ... +cneλntvn and c(t)=c1eλ1+kv1+c2eλ2+kv2+ ... +cneλn+kvn where c1,c2,,cn is constant.

If x(t) is the solution of the linear system localid="1659702528208" dxdt=Ax then x1(t)=c1eλ1tv1+c2eλ2tv2+ ... +cneλntvn where λ1,λ2,λ3,,λn be the Eigen values and of n×n matrix A.

Step 2: Show that c→(t)=ektx→(t) is a solution of the system.

Simplify the equation x1(t)=c1eλ1tv1+c2eλ2tv2+ ... +cneλntvn as follows.

c(t)=c1eλ1+kv1+c2eλ2+kv2+ ... +cneλn+kvnc(t)=c1eλ1tektv1+c2eλ2tektv2+ ... +cneλntektvnc(t)=ektc1eλ1tv1+c2eλ2tv2+ ... +cneλntvnc(t)=ektxt

By the definition of solution of the linear system, ct=ektxt is a solution.

Hence, if xt and ct is a solution of the system dxdt=Ax and dcdt=A+klnc respectively then is a solution.
