To clarify my own question, one can do the following manipulations sage: t,s = var('t,s') sage: x = function('x', t) sage: de = diff(x,t) + 2*x == t sage: laplace(de.left(),t,s) == laplace(de.right(),t,s) s*laplace(x(t), t, s) + 2*laplace(x(t), t, s) - x(0) == 1/s^2 but I guess this is not what is requested. I'm wondering what type of manipulation Pieter needs. > > On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 11:21 AM, pieter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Dear Simon, >> >> Thanks for your answer. >> >> What I want is for a linear combination X(t):=p(t)*y1(t) + q(t)*y2(t) >> (p and q are known functions) to construct a new >> second-order differential equation for X(t) from the orgininal >> system.
