To define: The superposition or linearity principle and state whether it holds for the nth order ODEs.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The superposition or linearity principle states that the addition of the given solutions or the product by a constant with the solutions results in further solutions.

In other words, any linear combination of solutions is also a solution.

That is, if y1(x) and y2(x) are the solutions of the ODE ayn+byn1++c=0, then m(y1(x)+y2(x)), m is any scalar is also a solution for the given ODE.

The superposition only holds for the nth order homogeneous ODEs.
