The differential equation y" + (sgn x)y = 0 (25) has the discontinuous coefficient function S+1 ifx > 0, |-1 ifx < 0. sgnx = Show that Eq. (25) nevertheless has two linearly indepen- dent solutions y1(x) and y2(x) defined for all x such that • Each satisfies Eq. (25) at each point x # 0; • Each has a continuous derivative at x = 0; • yı (0) = y (0) = 1 and y2(0) = y (0) = 0. (Suggestion: Each y¡(x) will be defined by one formula for x < 0 and by another for x 2 0.) The graphs of these two solutions are shown in Fig. 3.3.2. у (к) 21 х удх) уда) FIGURE 3.3.2.
