Explanation Procedure used: Particular solution to a linear DE by greens function. 1. Consider the differential equation and determine the complementary function to the homogeneous differential equation. Further, substitute the boundary values to find the coefficients. 2. If y 1 ( x ) and y 2 ( x ) are two fundamental solution of the differential equation then particular solution is given by y p = u 1 y 1 ( x ) + u 2 y 2 ( x ) . 3. Use, y p = ∫ x 0 x G ( x , t ) f ( t ) d t to find the particular solution. Find greens function from G ( x , t ) = y 1 ( t ) y 2 ( x ) W t . 4. Obtain the final solution by y ( x ) = y h + y p . Calculation: Consider the differential equation y ″ = f ( x ) . The associated homogeneous differential equation is y ″ = 0 . The auxiliary equation to the homogeneous DE y ″ = 0 is m 2 = 0 . Find the roots of m 2 = 0 . Thus, the roots of the auxiliary equation are m 1 = 0 and m 2 = 0 Hence, the solution of homogeneous DE y ″ = 0 is y h ( x ) = c + c 2 x . Consider the boundary values y ( 0 ) = 0 , y ( 1 ) = 0 . Substitute y ( 0 ) = 0 into y h ( x ) = c + c 2 x . Thus, 0 = c 1 Thus, choose c 2 = 1 . Hence, y 1 = x . Substitute y ( 1 ) = 0 . Thus, 0 = c 1 + c 2 Choose, c 1 = 1 . Thus, y 2 = 1 − x The particular solution to the nonhomogeneous differential equation is given by y p = ∫ x 0 x G ( x , t ) f ( t ) d t . Now, determine the Wronskian. Use, variable transformation. Thus, [ y 1 ( x ) = x defines y 1 ( t ) = t , y 2 ( x ) = 1 − x defines y 2 ( t ) = 1 − t and f ( x ) = 1 then f ( t ) = 1 for 0 ≤ < t ≤ 0 ] and [ y 1 ( x ) = x defines y 1 ( t ) = t , y 2 ( x ) = 1 − x defines y 2 ( t ) = 1 − t and f ( t ) = 1 for x ≤ t ≤ 0 ] W ( t ) = | y 1 ( t ) y 2 ( t ) y ′ 1 ( t ) y ′ 2 ( t ) | = | t 1 − t 1 − 1 | = − t − 1 + t = − 1 Thus, for any t W ( t ) ≠ 0
