\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }&=a {y^{\prime }}^{2} \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 18

dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)=a*diff(y(x),x)^2,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y \left (x \right ) = -\frac {\ln \left (-a \left (c_{1} x +c_{2} \right )\right )}{a} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.208 (sec). Leaf size: 20

DSolve[D[y[x],{x,2}]==a*D[y[x],x]^2,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to c_2-\frac {\log (a x+c_1)}{a} \]
