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

Famous quotes containing the word homogeneous:
“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
