\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }+2 y^{\prime }+y^{2}&=0 \end{align*}

With initial conditions

\begin{align*} y \left (0\right )&=1 \\ y^{\prime }\left (0\right )&=0 \\ \end{align*}

✗ Maple

ode:=diff(diff(y(x),x),x)+2*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^2 = 0; 
ic:=[y(0) = 1, D(y)(0) = 0]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(x), singsol=all);
 

\[ \text {No solution found} \]

✗ Mathematica

ode=D[y[x],{x,2}]+2*D[y[x],x]+y[x]^2==0; 
ic={y[0]==1,Derivative[1][y][0] == 0};
