Dear all,
I got a set of coupled Second Order Differential Equations (ODEs). To go on with a solution I need to convert the set of ODEs into a matrices equation. Now I need to grab the factors of the ODEs to put them into a matrix.
Let us assume, we would have the following expression:
a (a - x) (a^2 c1 + a (12 c2 c3 + c1 (-17 + 8 c4)) x + 16 c1 x^2) u1[x]
+ 2 (2 a^4 + a^3 x (-20 + 2 c2^2 + 3 c1 c3 + 8 c4 + 8 l + 8 l^2 - 16 b x^2)
+ 8 x^4 (-l - l^2 + 2 b x^2) - 8 a x^3 (2 + 4 c4 - 3 l - 3 l^2 + 6 b x^2)
+ a^2 x^2 (34 - 2 c2^2 - 3 c1 c3 + 24 c4 - 8 c4^2 - 24 l - 24 l^2 + 48 b x^2)) u2[x]
+ x (a^3 (4 c1 c2 + 15 c3) + a^2 (-4 c1 c2 + 3 c3 (11 - 8 c4)) x - 16 b x^5
+ 16 a (-3 c3 x^2 + b x^4)) u3[x] - 8 a c1 (a - x)^3 x u1'[x]
- 16 (a - x)^2 x (a^2 - 2 x^2 + a (x - 2 c4 x)) u2'[x] + 24 a c3 (a - x)^2 x^2 u3'[x]
- 16 (a - x)^4 x^2 u2''[x]
How do I get for example - 16 (a - x)^4 x^2 in front of the second derivative u2''[x] ?
Attached you can find the file containing the above mentioned expression. If you run this script, you will get 4 expressions which have to be set to 0 . Each expression contains the derivatives. I need to get all factors in front of the functions to create a matrix.
Sorry for this question, but I am new to Mathematica.
Regards,
Guido
