Course Objectives The course aims to introduce and present Initial Value Problem: Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions; Continuation of Solutions; Continuous and Differential Dependence of Solutions. Linear Systems: Linear Homogeneous And Nonhomogeneous Systems with Constant and Variable Coefficients; Structure of Solutions of Systems with Constant and Periodic Coefficients; Higher Order Linear Differential Equations; Sturmian Theory, Stability: Lyapunov Stability and Instability. Lyapunov Functions; Lyapunov's Second Method; Quasilinear Systems.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • students are expected to know and understand various ideas, concepts and methods from ordinary differential equations and how these ideas may be used in, or are connected to, the fields of engineering and mathematics.
  • students will be able to learn how they can construct a Lyapunov function to determine the stability/instability of ordinary differential equations (ODE) and construct a new ODE to determine the oscillation/nonoscillation of an ODE.
Course Content IVP: existence and uniqueness, continuation and continuous dependence of solutions; linear systems: linear (non)homogeneous systems with constant and variable coefficients; structure of solutions of systems with periodic coefficients; higher order linear differential equations; Sturmian theory, stability: Lyapunov (in)stability, Lyapunov functions
