All of the examples considered here yield equations that are of the form of equation (1.1). Note
that, if z t 0 , the differential equation is said to be homogeneous, and the system response
under that condition is called the natural response. If z t 0 , the differential equation is said
to be non-homogeneous, and the complete response of the system with the forcing function
applied is a combination of the natural response and additional term(s) called the forced
response. Sometimes, these are called, respectively, the complimentary response and the
particular response.
