Abstract:
Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) that involve higher-order derivatives of the unknown function often appear in problems arising in the physical and technological sciences. The main purpose of this chapter is to formulate fundamental methods for solving linear higher-order differential equations. Initially, the existence and uniqueness of solutions are examined, followed by the formulation of general principles and specific techniques for computing solutions. The most fundamental and significant technique applies to solving homogeneous linear equations with constant coefficients. The basic process for solving non-homogeneous equations is then developed. Additionally, solution techniques are formulated for linear differential equations of higher order with variable coefficients. The chapter concludes with the treatment of some representative applications.
