Indirect Quantitative Methods for Determining Solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations.
Abstract
The subject of differential equation constitutes a large and very important branch of modern mathematics. From the early days of Calculus the subject has been an area of great theoretical research and practical applications, and it continues to be so to date. Therefore, a natural question arises: How does one obtain useful information from a differential equation. The answer is essentially that if it is possible to do so, one solves the differential equation to obtain a solution, if it is not possible, one uses the theory of differential equations to obtain information about the solution. In the text we will investigate some ordinary differential equations in self-adjoint form and when possible determine the behavior of solutions without actually solving the differential equation.
