5 Linear second order non-homogeneous ODEs, the Wronskian

By the end of this section, you should be able to answer the following questions:

  • What is the form of the general solution to a linear, second order non-homogeneous ODE?
  • How do you define the Wronskian of an nth order linear second order homogeneous ODE?
  • What is the relationship between the Wronskian and linearly independent solutions to a linear, second order homogeneous ODE?
