An ordinary differential equation is linear, if all its arguments y, y2 , ...yn−1 are linear.
To check for linearity, convert the differential equation in the operator form, and the
operator is linear. The operator L : V (K) → V (K) is said to be a linear operator on
vector space V defined on scalar field K if it satisfies
L[αx + βy] = αL[x] + βL[y]
