\begin{align*} y&=y^{\prime }+\frac {{y^{\prime }}^{2}}{2} \end{align*}
Solving for the derivative gives these ODE’s to solve
\begin{align*}
\tag{1} y^{\prime }&=-1+\sqrt {1+2 y} \\
\tag{2} y^{\prime }&=-1-\sqrt {1+2 y} \\
\end{align*}
Now each of the above is solved
separately.
Solving Eq. (1)
Integrating gives
\begin{align*} \int \frac {1}{-1+\sqrt {1+2 y}}d y &= dx\\ \sqrt {1+2 y}+\ln \left (-1+\sqrt {1+2 y}\right )&= x +c_1 \end{align*}
Singular solutions are found by solving
\begin{align*} -1+\sqrt {1+2 y}&= 0 \end{align*}
for \(y\). This is because we had to divide by this in the above step. This gives the following
singular solution(s), which also have to satisfy the given ODE.
\begin{align*} y = 0 \end{align*}
Solving for \(y\) from the above solution(s) gives (after possible removing of solutions that do not
verify)
\begin{align*} y&=0\\ y&=\frac {\operatorname {LambertW}\left ({\mathrm e}^{-1+x +c_1}\right )^{2}}{2}+\operatorname {LambertW}\left ({\mathrm e}^{-1+x +c_1}\right ) \end{align*}
We now need to find the singular solutions, these are found by finding for what values \((-1+\sqrt {1+2 y})\) is
zero. These give
\begin{align*}
y&=0 \\
\end{align*}
Now we go over each such singular solution and check if it verifies the ode
itself and any initial conditions given. If it does not then the singular solution will not be
used.
The solution \(y = 0\) satisfies the ode and initial conditions.
Solving Eq. (2)
Integrating gives
\begin{align*} \int \frac {1}{-1-\sqrt {1+2 y}}d y &= dx\\ -\sqrt {1+2 y}+\ln \left (\sqrt {1+2 y}+1\right )&= x +c_2 \end{align*}
Solving for \(y\) from the above solution(s) gives (after possible removing of solutions that do not
verify)
\begin{align*} y = \frac {\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-1+x +c_2}\right )^{2}}{2}+\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-1+x +c_2}\right ) \end{align*}
