3.2.1 Example 1

y=yxy(0)=1

In standard form yp(x)y=q(x). So p=1x,q=0. Hence the domain of p is all x except x=0. Domain of q is all x. Since the IC includes x=0 then no guarantee solution exists or be unique. Theory does not say anything. We have to try to solve the ode to find out. Solving gives

y=cx

As solution. Applying I.C. gives

1=0

Not possible. Therefore no solution exist.
