Question

Theorem 3.2.7 (Abel's Theorem)4

If y1 and y2 are solutions of the second-order linear differential equation

(22)
L[y]=y′′+p(t)y′+q(t)y=0

where p and q are continuous on an open interval I, then the Wronskian W[y1y2](t) is given by

(23)
W[y1,y2](t)=cexp(−∫p(t)dt)

where c is a certain constant that depends on y1 and y2, but not on t. Further, W[y1y2](t) either is zero for all t in I (if c = 0) or else is never zero in I (if c ≠ 0).
