The problem seems to have been solved in the discussion in the comments: The "function vectors" are vectors containing the (zeroth and first) derivatives of a function, and thus the Wronskian is the …

Oct 28, 2022 · To my understanding, we check the Wronskian to confirm whether we can span the entire solution space of the differential equation with just those two solutions. This is because if the …

Apr 22, 2015 · The general solution for second order linear differential equations (Green's Function, which is the general form solution of the variation of parameters) involves the Wronskian because …

Jan 24, 2017 · 13 What is the intuition behind the Wronskian? I do not want an explanation that involves a rigorous proof. I just want to learn how to intuitively think about it. Edit: And since it is tied to the …

Dec 23, 2014 · Thank you for this useful answer. To be clear, we have in general that the vanishing of the Wronskian is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the linear dependence of some set of …
