306X Homework, Fall 2002

306X Homework #7 due beginning of class, Tuesday, October 29, 2002.

Problems are from Blanchard, Devaney, and Hall, 2nd ed., unless otherwise noted.

[3.7]
	You will have done enough on this in the Lab!

[3.8]	
	18. (Eigenstuff in the Lorenz system.)
	    For (c) (the sketch), I found it convenient to draw my curves
            only in the 3 planes spanned by pairs of eigenvectors.

[4.1] Forced harmonic oscillators

10.     (Solution of an IVP for a nonhomogeneous equation.)
        You may use Maple to help you with flexible guessing.
        You may NOT use Maple's "dsolve" command (except possibly
        to confirm your answer).

38.     (Multi-term RHS.) See discussion in problem 34.


[4.2] Sinusoidal forcing

14.	Use Maple to plot your the solution of the IVP for t from 0 to 20.
	Make both y vs t plot and a phase-plane (y vs. dy/dt) plot.
	Here's how:
	  
          plot(y,t=0..20,color=[red,blue]);
	  yprime:=diff(y,t);
          plot([y,yprime,t=0..20],color=black);
