I have the following ODE yielded as a steady state solution to a more complicated ODE. The important part is just to consider the following:



$$d/dt langle N(t) rangle=k-Gamma langle N(t) rangle$$
where $langle N(t) rangle$ can be seen as $y$ or an average of $y$ (brackets indicating avg). I am not sure if that is the reason for the result.



The solution is given by
$$langle N(t) rangle=k/Gamma (1-e^-Gamma t)+langle N(t) rangle e^-Gamma t$$



I do not see that however. So far, I've solved first for
$$d/dt <N(t)>=Gamma <N(t)>=0$$



Yielding
$$langle N(t) rangle>=Ccdot e^-Gamma t$$



and $C$
$$C=k/Gamma (1-e^-Gamma t)+c_0$$



I do not see how it solves the equation by inserting c.



Any help is highly appreciated :)



edit: I had a thought it may have to do with the average being additive, and starting and $langle N(0) rangle$ being the same as $langle N(t) rangle$ since it is steady state. I am not completely sure however.

Let $y = langle N(t)rangle$, so that we may write
$$fracdydt +Gamma y = k$$ This equation can be solved by method of integrating factors. An integrating factor here is $e^int_0^t Gamma, ds = e^Gamma t$. Multiply the equation by $e^Gamma t$ and note that by the product rule, we obtain $$fracddt(e^Gamma t y) = ke^Gamma t$$ Integrate both sides to get $$e^Gamma ty = frackGammae^Gamma t + C$$where $C$ is a constant. Setting $t = 0$, $y(0) = k/Gamma + C$, so then $C = y(0) - k/Gamma$. Therefore $$y = frackGamma + left(y(0) - frackGammaright)e^-Gamma t= frackGammaleft(1 - e^-Gamma tright) + y(0)e^-Gamma t$$ as desired.
