Differential Equation of type u''-xu=0
« on: October 01, 2010, 10:58:17 AM »
Hello,

Kindly advise on how to find solution to u''-xu=0, u(0)=1, u'(0)=0 in PocketCAS.

Best regards,

Hello,

I think that this differential equation can not be solved in PocketCAS.

Regards

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for your quick response. I've carried out more investigation on WolframAlpha and found out that this type of DE is equivalent to Airy Functions and therefore PocketCAS's Airy functions can be utilize to obtain the solution.
