    Someone tell me where the x comes from in the formulas for y sub odd and y sub even after you do the recusion formula to find the constants. And how is P(x) the same thing as x?

    • @FacultyofKhan
      @FacultyofKhan  4 месяца назад +1

      That's just the series solution: the coefficient a_1 is attached to x, the coefficient a_2 is attached to x^2 and so on. And the P(x) you're referring to is actually P_1(x) (i.e. the first Legendre polynomial, which basically means the Legendre polynomial which has 1 as the highest power on x. Similarly, P_2(x) is the 2nd Legendre polynomial, so the Legendre polynomial with 2 as the highest power on x).

  • @kostasfykouras2244
    @kostasfykouras2244 4 года назад +3

    hello! Great video as always. One question though. For k=1 the solution is in terms of odd coefficients and for k=2 in terms of even coefficients. So we say that the polynomial created by those even/odd coefficients is the solution. But, for k=1 we also have the even series that doesn't terminate. The even series for k=1 isn't an acceptable solution?
    We just disregard it ? Thanks in advance!

    • @FacultyofKhan
      @FacultyofKhan  7 лет назад

      P2(x) corresponds to k = 2, and y_even represents the terms that come from using even indices k on the recursion relation. Also, for a0 = -1/2, y_even becomes the second-order Legendre polynomial, which I've denoted as P2. Hope that helps!

Power series properly if we use frobenius method then r must be required in the power of x in both first and second derivative and also in y(x)

    My question is this: How can we use a polynomial from one part of the solution (which converges) and disregard the other part that diverges?

      @Nedyah-gg4bo 8 месяцев назад

      For anyone else who had the same question (I did), thought about this and came to this conclusion…
      Since y is a linear combo of odd and even, if the odd terminates but the even diverges, then a0 must be =0 in order for the series to converge and describe y. If the even terminates, then the odd won’t and a1 must be =0 to converge to y.

      Thank you Gerardo! When k = n, the coefficient becomes zero, and the series terminates at that coefficient (giving you a polynomial solution). So for example, when you have k = 3, the a5 term becomes zero because of the (3-k) factor. I believe I discuss this in the video. Hope that helps!

    i really cant understand the last part.. can someone please explain to me in a simple way

    • @FacultyofKhan

      Sure! If you go back to 8:06, you can see the recursion relation at the top (a_n+2 as a function of a_n).
      All the last part is saying is that when k is an ODD number, the coefficients a_n for ODD values of n continue only up till a certain point, because when n reaches k, you can see that the numerator of the recursion relation immediately becomes zero. Now if one of the coefficients (a_n or a_k) reaches zero, all coefficients that come after that (e.g. a_n+2, a_n+4, etc) for odd values of n will also be zero. This means that the 'odd' index series would terminate, and we end up with a polynomial involving odd powers of x (e.g. P_1, P_3 etc).
      The same logic applies to EVEN values of k, in which the coefficients a_n for EVEN values of n eventually terminate.
      If you have any more questions, please ask!

    the summation of series is zero ...so how can you justify it by saying that all the coefficients that are associated with the increasing power of the variable x is zero .... can it not be the case that terms in the series have a distribution of positive and negative values ?

    I have this doubt that when we shift the index of the first series to make x^s common then we do not shift the index of the rest of the equation. When we differentiate the series twice we are supposed to get A1 constant for first differentiation and A2 term for second. Then why haven't you showed it. Just for the sake of getting X^s common we cannot change the series according to our convenience.

      I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I'll try to explain it according to what I pieced together. I feel like you've asked 2 questions:
      1. When you shift the index of the 1st series (around 3:00), why don't you shift the index of all the other series? Answer: The reason is that for now, I just want to make sure the x's are all raised to the same power, so it's easier to change the first series.
      2. Why don't you change the starting value of n when you differentiate the series solution y = sum from n = 0 of an*x^n? Answer: I've discussed it in previous responses, but it doesn't matter, since the term corresponding to n=0 for the first derivative and those corresponding to n=0,1 for the second derivative are all zero. I could have started them at n=1 and n=2, but I wanted to keep things consistent.

    There's a slight misleading information here. There is a normalization constant acting upon the solution of the 'y1' and 'y2'. You also have to mention them. The arbitrary constant doesn't make up the value.

    There is a mistake in this video if the summation becomes zero till m=2 then the summation should start from m=2

    • @FacultyofKhan
      @FacultyofKhan  5 лет назад

      It doesn't matter if the summation is zero for m = 0 and m = 1; I could start it at m = 2 like you said but it doesn't make a difference since the m = 0 and m = 1 terms are zero anyway.
