📚 Analysis of Autonomous Second-Order Differential Equations | 自治二阶微分方程的解析

An autonomous second-order differential equation is one in which the independent variable does not appear explicitly. Its general form is y″ = f(y, y′). Because the equation is unchanged by a translation in the independent variable, any solution can be shifted horizontally to produce another solution. In IB Mathematics HL, linear autonomous second-order equations with constant coefficients are a core topic, and their solutions underpin the study of oscillations, circuits and many other physical systems.

自治二阶微分方程是指不显含自变量的微分方程，其一般形式为 y″ = f(y, y′)。由于方程在自变量平移下保持不变，任意解沿水平方向平移后仍是解。在IB数学HL中，常系数线性自治二阶方程是核心内容，其解是研究振动、电路和许多其他物理系统的基础。

1. The General Linear Autonomous Equation | 一般线性自治方程

The standard linear autonomous second-order equation with constant coefficients is written as

标准的常系数线性自治二阶方程写作

a y″ + b y′ + c y = 0,

where a, b and c are real constants with a ≠ 0. This equation is homogeneous and autonomous because no term explicitly involves the independent variable x. It appears naturally in problems such as mechanical vibrations, electrical circuits and population dynamics.

其中 a、b、c 为实常数，且 a ≠ 0。该方程是齐次且自治的，因为没有显含自变量 x 的项。它自然地出现在机械振动、电路和种群动力学等问题中。

If the equation is non-homogeneous, for example a y″ + b y′ + c y = f(x), autonomy is only preserved when f(x) does not depend on x. In this article we focus on the homogeneous case, which is the most frequently tested in IB.

如果方程为非齐次，例如 a y″ + b y′ + c y = f(x)，只有当 f(x) 不依赖于 x 时方程
