Solution to Cauchy Problem












2












$begingroup$


I am trying to solve the following Cauchy Problem:



$y'(t) = A(t)y(t),
A=begin{pmatrix}
t &-1 \
1 &t
end{pmatrix}, y(0)=y_0$



What I did:



I know that $ forall t, s in mathbb{R}: A(s)A(t)=A(t)A(s)$



So the solution would be:



$y(t)= e^{ begin{pmatrix}
t^2/2 &-t \
t &t^2/2
end{pmatrix}} y_0$



Is that a good reasonning? Please note that I don't have more information regarding the domain of study of this Cauchy Problem so I don't know if that plays any decisive role in the solution found above.



Many thanks!

          You indeed found the general form of a solution. See Wikipedia linear differential equation. However , this is only true because $A$ and $A^prime$ commute.

            Thanks for useful link. I guess the condition $forall t, s in mathbb{R}: A(s)A(t)=A(t)A(s)$ is stronger than the condition $A$ and $A'$ commute, in the sense that the first condition imply the second ?

            Yes the condition you gave is stronger. You can easily derive the second by differentiating both sides of your equality in $s$and making $s=t$ afterwards.
