Superposition Principle with Undetermined Coefficients to Solve Non-Homogeneous Differential Equations -(I)

In the context of solving non-homogeneous differential equations, the superposition principle is used to find the particular solution by adding together the solutions to homogeneous and non-homogeneous parts of the equation.

The method of undetermined coefficients involves finding a particular solution to the non-homogeneous differential equation by guessing a form for the solution and then using the method of substitution to find the unknown coefficients. This method can be used in combination with the superposition principle to solve non-homogeneous differential equations.
A question is solved in this video.

Here is a general outline of how to solve a non-homogeneous differential equation using the superposition principle and the method of undetermined coefficients:

Find the general solution to the corresponding homogeneous equation by using characteristic equations or by using the methods of undetermined coefficients or variation of parameters.

Guess a form for the particular solution that matches the form of the non-homogeneous term. Substitute the guess into the non-homogeneous differential equation and solve for the unknown coefficients. Add the general solution to the homogeneous equation and the particular solution to obtain the complete solution to the non-homogeneous equation.

It is important to note that the choice of form for the particular solution will depend on the form of the non-homogeneous term. In some cases, it may be necessary to guess multiple forms for the particular solution and then add them together to find the complete solution.
