Normal 0 false false false This book emphasizes the physical interpretation of mathematical solutions and introduces applied mathematics while presenting differential equations.
Then, y2 Ly1 − y1 Ly2 = ddx [ p(x)W(x) ] . This identity is called Lagrange's identity. It follows that (y2, Ly1)− (y1, Ly2) = [ p(x)W(x) ] |ba= p(b)W(b) − p(a)W(a). This is Green's identity. □ The proof of Lagrange's identity is ...
The integral in this formula is a complex contour integral taken over the infinite straight line (called a Bromwich path) in the complex plane from a – ico to a + iod. The number a is any real number for which the resulting Bromwich ...
