Lets start modelling some electric circuits again:

draw

The circuit is switched on (battery in series) at $t=0$ and is then switched off (battery is bypassed) at $t=1$

Applying KVL:

$0.2I_{1}'+0.1I_{3}'+2I_{1}=g(t) \qquad \text{where } g(t)=\begin{cases}6, & 0\leq t\leq 1 \\\\0, & 1<t\end{cases}$

$-I_{2}+0.1I_{3}'=0$

$I_{1}=I_{2}+I_{3}$

Voila, a system of three linear equations.

end of lec 21

start of lec 22

eq 1) $0.2I_{1}'+0.1I_{3}'+2I_{1}=g(t) \qquad \text{where } g(t)=\begin{cases}6, & 0\leq t\leq 1 \\\\0, & 1<t\end{cases}$

eq 2) $-I_{2}+0.1I_{3}'=0$

eq 3) $I_{1}=I_{2}+I_{3}$

Two differential equations, one algebraic equation. Our goal is to solve for $I_{1}\ I_{2}$ and $I_{3}$

express g in terms of unit step function:

$g(t)=6-6u(t-1)$

combine equations 2 and 3:

$-I_{1}+I_{3}+0.1I_{3}'=0$

now we have just two equations:

eq 1) $0.2I_{1}'+0.1I_{3}'+2I_{1}=6-6u(t-1)$

eq 2) $-I_{1}+I_{3}+0.1I_{3}'=0$

where $I_1(0)=I_{2}(0)=I_{3}(0)=0$ (the battery is just connected at $t=0$)

multiply both equations by 10:

$2I_{1}'+1I_{3}'+20I_{1}=60(1-u(t-1))$

$-10I_{1}+10I_{3}+I_{3}'=0$

hit it with the LT!

let:

$J_{1}=\mathcal{L}\{I_{1}(t)\}(s)$

$J_3=\mathcal{L}\{I_{3}\}$

then:

$2sJ_{1}-\cancel{ 2I_{1}(0) }+sJ_{3}-\cancel{ I_{3}(0) }+20J_{1}=\mathcal{L}\{60(1-u(t-1))\}$

$2(s+10)J_{1}+sJ_{3}=60\left( \frac{1}{s}-\frac{e^{-s}}{s} \right)$

$=2(s+10)J_{1}+sJ_{3}=60 \frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}$

Now for the second eq, hitting it with the LT yields:

$-10J_{1}+(s+10)J_{3}=0$

Let's isolate $J_{1}$:

$\begin{matrix} 2(s+10)J_{1}+sJ_{3}=60 \frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}&\qquad\quad\times(s+10) \\\\ -\quad-10J_{1}+(s+10)J_{3}=0&\times s \\\\ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄\end{matrix}$

$=\quad2(s+10)(s+10)J_{1}+\cancel{ sJ_{3}(s+10) }+10sJ_{1}-\cancel{ s(s+10)J_{3} }=(s+10)60 \frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}$

$=2(s^2+20s+100+5s)J_{1}=(s+10)60 \frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}$

$(s+5)(s+20)J_{1}=(s+10)30 \frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}$

$J_{1}(s)=30 \frac{s+10}{s(s+5)(s+20)}(1-e^{-s})$

use partial fractions:

$30 \frac{s+10}{s(s+5)(s+20)}=\frac{A}{s}+\frac{B}{s+5}+\frac{C}{s+20}$

$=\frac{{A(s+5)(s+20)+B(s^2+20s)+C(s^2+5s)}}{s(s+5)(s+20)}$

Solve the system of equations:

$A+B+C=0$

$25A+20B+5C=30$

$100A=300 \implies A=3$

$\implies B=-2 \qquad C=-1$

$J_{1}(s)=\left( \frac{3}{s}-\frac{2}{s+5}- \frac{1}{s+20} \right)(1-e^{-s})$

invert the LT: (use $\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-as}F(s)\}=f(t-a)u(t-a)$)

$I_{1}=3-2e^{-5t}-e^{-20t}-u(t-1)(3-2e^{-5(t-1)}-e^{-20(t-1)})$

Nice! Now we solve for $I_{3}$. Let's use: $-10J_{1}+(s+10)J_{3}=0$

$J_{3}=\frac{10}{s+10}J_{1}$

$J_{3}=300 \frac{1}{s(s+5)(s+20)}(1-e^{ -s })$

partial fraction it so we can eventually take the inverse LT:

skip some steps:

$J_{3}=\left( \frac{3}{s}-\frac{4}{s+5}+\frac{1}{s+20} \right)(1-e^{ -s })$

$I_{3}=3-4e^{ -5t }+e^{ -20t }-(3-4e^{ -5(t-1) }+e^{ -20(t-1) })u(t-1)$

Finally, $I_{2}$ is simply:

$I_{2}=I_{1}-I_{3}$

Our final answer is:

$$\begin{matrix}I_{1}=3-2e^{-5t}-e^{-20t}-u(t-1)(3-2e^{-5(t-1)}-e^{-20(t-1)}) \\\\I_{3}=3-4e^{ -5t }+e^{ -20t }-(3-4e^{ -5(t-1) }+e^{ -20(t-1) })u(t-1) \\\\I_{2}=I_{1}-I_{3}\end{matrix}$$

Every 2nd order linear equation can be written as a system of 2 1st order linear equations:

$ay''+by'+cy=f$

$y'=z$

$\begin{cases}y'-z=0 \\\\az'+bz+cy=f\end{cases}$

last example of the chapter:

ex SoLE IVP

$x'+y=0, \qquad x(0)=0$

$x+y'=1-u(t-2) \qquad y(0)=0$

This is a review problem in chapter 7 of the textbook.

Hit equation 1 and 2 with the LT:

$sX+Y=0$

$X+sY=\frac{{1-e^{ -2s }}}{s}$

Let's isolate $X$

multiply equation 1 by $s$

and subtract eq 1 from eq 2:

$-(s^2-1)X=\frac{{1-e^{ -2s }}}{2}$

$X(s)=e^{-2s} \frac{1}{s(s-1)(s+1)}-\frac{1}{s(s-1)(s+1)}$

use partial fractions:

$\frac{A}{s}+\frac{B}{s-1}+\frac{C}{s+1}=\frac{1}{s(s-1)(s+1)}$

$A(s^2-1)+B(s^2+s)+C(s^2-s)=1$

$A+B+C=0$

$B-C=0$

$-A=1\implies A=-1$

$\implies B=\frac{1}{2} \qquad C=\frac{1}{2}$

$X(s)=\left( -\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{s-1}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{s+1} \right)(e^{ -2s }-1)$

inverse laplace:

$$x(t)=1-\frac{1}{2}e^t-\frac{1}{2}e^{-t}-u(t-2)\left( 1-\frac{1}{2}e^{t-2} -\frac{1}{2}e^{-(t-2)}\right)$$

Now solve for $y(t)$ too:

$Y=-sX=-s (\frac{-1}{s(s-1)(s+1)}+ \frac{e^{ -2s }}{s(s-1)(s+1)})$

$=\frac{1}{(s-1)(s+1)}- \frac{e^{-2s}}{(s-1)(s+1)}$

partial 'frac it:

$\frac{1}{(s-1)(s+1)}=\frac{A}{s-1}+\frac{B}{s+1}$

$A(s+1)+B(s-1)=1$

$A+B=0$

$A-B=1$

$\implies A=\frac{1}{2} \quad B=-\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}(1-e^{-2s})\left( \frac{1}{s-1}-\frac{1}{s+1} \right)$

$$\implies y(t)=\frac{1}{2}(e^t-e^{-t})-\frac{1}{2}u(t-2)(e^{t-2}-e^{-(t-2)})$$

we are done
