desolve_system

Description

We can use desolve_system to obtain a symbolic solution to the system of differential equations

(1)
\begin{align} \frac{dx}{dt} & = 3x + 4y \\ \frac{dy}{dt} & = x. \end{align}

Code

t = var('t')
x = function('x')(t)
y = function('y')(t)
de1 = diff(x,t) == 3*x + 4*y
de2 = diff(y,t) == x
desolve_system([de1, de2], [x,y])

Options

Option

We can use desolve_system to obtain a symbolic solution to the initial-value problem

(2)
\begin{align} \frac{dx}{dt} & = 3x + 4y \\ \frac{dy}{dt} & = x \\ x(0) & = 1 \\ y(0) & = -2. \end{align}

Code

t = var('t')
x = function('x')(t)
y = function('y')(t)
de1 = diff(x,t) == 3*x + 4*y
de2 = diff(y,t) == x
desolve_system([de1, de2], [x,y], ics=[0,1,-2])
