Choose a finite trial family of polynomial-exponential or trigonometric functions for a particular solution, substitute it into a constant-coefficient linear equation, and solve for its coefficients. If the forcing exponent is a characteristic root of multiplicity m, multiply the ordinary trial by tm to leave the homogeneous kernel. The method is efficient for forcing families preserved by differentiation.
