Behavior Of Solutions For Bernoulli Initial-Value Problems, Carlos Marcelo Sardan Jan 2013

Behavior Of Solutions For Bernoulli Initial-Value Problems, Carlos Marcelo Sardan

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project is to investigate blow-up properties of solutions for specific initial-value problems that involve Bernoulli Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE's). The objective is to find conditions on the coefficients and on the initial-values that lead to unbounded growth of solutions in finite time.


Leonhard Euler's Contribution To Infinite Polynomials, Jack Dean Meekins Jan 2012

Leonhard Euler's Contribution To Infinite Polynomials, Jack Dean Meekins

Theses Digitization Project

This thesis will focus on Euler's famous method for solving the infinite polynomial. It will show how he manipulated the sine function to find all possible points along the sine function such that the sine A would equal to y; these would be roots of the polynomial. It also shows how Euler set the infinite polynomial equal to the infinite product allowing him to determine which coefficients were equal to which reciprocals of the roots, roots squared, roots cubed, etc.
