Solve

\begin{align*} \left (y-x y^{\prime }\right )^{2}&=1+{y^{\prime }}^{2} \end{align*}

Solved as first order Clairaut ode

Time used: 0.198 (sec)

This is Clairaut ODE. It has the form

\[ y=x y^{\prime }+g\left (y^{\prime }\right ) \]

Where \(g\) is function of \(y'(x)\). Let \(p=y^{\prime }\) the ode becomes

\begin{align*} \left (-x p +y \right )^{2} = p^{2}+1 \end{align*}

Solving for \(y\) from the above results in

\begin{align*} y &= x p +\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\tag {1A} \\ y &= x p -\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\tag {2A} \end{align*}

Each of the above ode’s is a Clairaut ode which is now solved.

Solving ode 1A We start by replacing \(y^{\prime }\) by \(p\) which gives

\begin{align*} y&=x p +\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\\ &=x p +\sqrt {p^{2}+1} \end{align*}

Writing the ode as

\begin{align*} y&= x p +g \left (p \right ) \end{align*}

We now write \(g\equiv g\left ( p\right ) \) to make notation simpler but we should always remember that \(g\) is function of \(p\) which in turn is function of \(x\). Hence the above becomes

\begin{align*} y = x p +g\tag {1} \end{align*}

Then we see that

\begin{align*} g&=\sqrt {p^{2}+1} \end{align*}

Taking derivative of (1) w.r.t. \(x\) gives

\begin{align*} p &=\frac {d}{dx}\left (x p+g\right ) \\ p & =\left ( p+x\frac {dp}{dx}\right ) +\left ( g' \frac {dp}{dx}\right ) \\ p & =p+\left ( x+g'\right ) \frac {dp}{dx}\\ 0 & =\left ( x+g'\right ) \frac {dp}{dx} \end{align*}

Where \(g'\) is derivative of \(g\left ( p\right ) \) w.r.t. \(p\).

The general solution is given by

\begin{align*} \frac {dp}{dx} & =0\\ p &=c_{1} \end{align*}

Substituting this in (1) gives the general solution as

\begin{align*} y = c_1 x +\sqrt {c_1^{2}+1} \end{align*}

The singular solution is found from solving for \(p\) from

\begin{align*} x+g'\left ( p\right ) &=0 \end{align*}

And substituting the result back in (1). Since we found above that \(g=\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\), then the above equation becomes

\begin{align*} x+g'\left ( p\right ) &= x +\frac {p}{\sqrt {p^{2}+1}}\\ &= 0 \end{align*}

Solving the above for \(p\) results in

\begin{align*} p_{1} &=y = \left (-x^{2}+1\right ) \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}} \end{align*}

Substituting the above back in (1) results in

\begin{align*} y = \left (-x^{2}+1\right ) \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}} \end{align*}

Solving ode 2A We start by replacing \(y^{\prime }\) by \(p\) which gives

\begin{align*} y&=x p -\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\\ &=x p -\sqrt {p^{2}+1} \end{align*}

Writing the ode as

\begin{align*} y&= x p +g \left (p \right ) \end{align*}

We now write \(g\equiv g\left ( p\right ) \) to make notation simpler but we should always remember that \(g\) is function of \(p\) which in turn is function of \(x\). Hence the above becomes

\begin{align*} y = x p +g\tag {1} \end{align*}

Then we see that

\begin{align*} g&=-\sqrt {p^{2}+1} \end{align*}

Taking derivative of (1) w.r.t. \(x\) gives

\begin{align*} p &=\frac {d}{dx}\left (x p+g\right ) \\ p & =\left ( p+x\frac {dp}{dx}\right ) +\left ( g' \frac {dp}{dx}\right ) \\ p & =p+\left ( x+g'\right ) \frac {dp}{dx}\\ 0 & =\left ( x+g'\right ) \frac {dp}{dx} \end{align*}

Where \(g'\) is derivative of \(g\left ( p\right ) \) w.r.t. \(p\).

The general solution is given by

\begin{align*} \frac {dp}{dx} & =0\\ p &=c_{1} \end{align*}

Substituting this in (1) gives the general solution as

\begin{align*} y = c_2 x -\sqrt {c_2^{2}+1} \end{align*}

The singular solution is found from solving for \(p\) from

\begin{align*} x+g'\left ( p\right ) &=0 \end{align*}

And substituting the result back in (1). Since we found above that \(g=-\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\), then the above equation becomes

\begin{align*} x+g'\left ( p\right ) &= x -\frac {p}{\sqrt {p^{2}+1}}\\ &= 0 \end{align*}

Solving the above for \(p\) results in

\begin{align*} p_{1} &=y = \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}}\, \left (x^{2}-1\right ) \end{align*}

Substituting the above back in (1) results in

\begin{align*} y = \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}}\, \left (x^{2}-1\right ) \end{align*}

Summary of solutions found

\begin{align*} y &= c_1 x +\sqrt {c_1^{2}+1} \\ y &= \left (-x^{2}+1\right ) \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}} \\ y &= c_2 x -\sqrt {c_2^{2}+1} \\ y &= \sqrt {-\frac {1}{x^{2}-1}}\, \left (x^{2}-1\right ) \\ \end{align*}
