Course objectives
The theory of differential equations ranks among fundamental parts of mathematical analysis. It is utilized by a number of other courses and in many applications. The basic aim of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamentals of the theory of ordinary differential equations, with the basic parts of the stability and qualitative theory of differential equations and mathematical modelling in natural sciences.
After passing the course, the student will be able:
to define and interpret the basic notions used in the fields mentioned above;
to formulate relevant mathematical theorems and statements and to explain methods of their proofs;
to use effective techniques utilized in these subject areas;
to apply acquired pieces of knowledge for the solution of specific problems.
Syllabus
  • 1. Fundamental notions - ordinary differential equations and their systems, order of an equation, initial value problem, solutions of differential equations and initial value problems. 2. Systems of linear differential equations - existence and uniqueness of solutions, structure of the family of solutions, variation-of-constants method, linear systems with constant coefficients, connection of linear systems with higher-order linear differential equations. 3. Local and global properties of solutions - local existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear initial value problems, global existence and uniqueness, dependence of solutions on initial values and parameters. 4. Introduction to the stability theory - Lyapunov concept of stability, uniform, asymptotic and exponential stability, stability of linear and perturbed linear systems, Hurwitz criterion, direct method of Lyapunov.
