Homogeneous Linear Equations
Another is that a linear differential equation can be represented as a linear operator acting on y. In this case a linear homogeneous differential equations is of the form
where L is a differential operator, a sum of derivatives, each multiplied by functions of x:
For example,
is a homogeneous differential equation, whereas
or

Famous quotes containing the word homogeneous:
“If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green.... If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
