Hi Priyanka, I would first define well the problem and the equation (you have terms like c, and d that you are not using). It seems like you are trying to solve the equation of a undampened string with a constant attached to it.
I would do it like this: x = var('x') # independent variable b = var('b') # constant y = function('y', x) # unknown function # define 2nd order ODE; (undampened spring with unit of mass attached) myode = diff(y,x,2)+b*y == 0 # define 2order ODE assume(b>0) # mass is always possitive f = desolve_laplace(de = myode,dvar = y, ivar=x) I should return an expression like: cos(sqrt(b)*x)*y(0) + sin(sqrt(b)*x)*D[0](y)(0)/sqrt(b) Best Jose On 10 May 2012 13:05, Priyanka Kapoor <anjalicool.kapoor...@gmail.com>wrote: > Can anyone help me out in this question? > > x,a,c,d=var('x,b,c,d') > y = function('y', x) > de=diff(y,x,x)+b*y==0 > c=desolve(de,y,ivar=x) > print c > > > > -- > Priyanka Kapoor > http://kapoorpriyanka.in > Linux User Group, Ludhiana > > -- > To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
