The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "second_order_ode_missing_x", "second_order_ode_can_be_made_integrable"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_2nd_order, _missing_x], [_2nd_order, _reducible, _mu_x_y1]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }-3 \sqrt {y}=0} \] With initial conditions \begin {align*} [y \left (0\right ) = 1, y^{\prime }\left (0\right ) = 2] \end {align*}

2.18.1 Solving as second order ode can be made integrable ode

Multiplying the ode by \(y^{\prime }\) gives \[ y^{\prime } y^{\prime \prime }-3 \sqrt {y}\, y^{\prime } = 0 \] Integrating the above w.r.t \(x\) gives \begin {align*} \int \left (y^{\prime } y^{\prime \prime }-3 \sqrt {y}\, y^{\prime }\right )d x &= 0 \\ \frac {{y^{\prime }}^{2}}{2}-2 y^{\frac {3}{2}} = c_2 \end {align*}

Which is now solved for \(y\). Solving the given ode for \(y^{\prime }\) results in \(2\) differential equations to solve. Each one of these will generate a solution. The equations generated are \begin {align*} y^{\prime }&=\sqrt {4 y^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}} \tag {1} \\ y^{\prime }&=-\sqrt {4 y^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}} \tag {2} \end {align*}

Now each one of the above ODE is solved.

Solving equation (1)

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int \frac {1}{\sqrt {4 y^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d y &= \int {dx}\\ \int _{}^{y}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a}&= x +c_{2} \end {align*}

Solving equation (2)

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int -\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 y^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d y &= \int {dx}\\ \int _{}^{y}-\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a}&= x +c_{3} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are used to solve for the constants of integration.

Looking at the First solution \begin {align*} \int _{}^{y}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} = x +c_{2} \tag {1} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are now substituted in the above solution. This will generate the required equations to solve for the integration constants. substituting \(y = 1\) and \(x = 0\) in the above gives \begin {align*} \int _{}^{1}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} = c_{2}\tag {1A} \end {align*}

Taking derivative of the solution gives \begin {align*} y^{\prime } = \sqrt {4 {\operatorname {RootOf}\left (-\left (\int _{}^{\textit {\_Z}}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} \right )+x +c_{2} \right )}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}} \end {align*}

substituting \(y^{\prime } = 2\) and \(x = 0\) in the above gives \begin {align*} 2 = \sqrt {4 {\operatorname {RootOf}\left (-\left (\int _{}^{\textit {\_Z}}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} \right )+c_{2} \right )}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}\tag {2A} \end {align*}

Equations {1A,2A} are now solved for \(\{c_{1}, c_{2}\}\). There is no solution for the constants of integrations. This solution is removed.

Looking at the Second solution \begin {align*} \int _{}^{y}-\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} = x +c_{3} \tag {2} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are now substituted in the above solution. This will generate the required equations to solve for the integration constants. substituting \(y = 1\) and \(x = 0\) in the above gives \begin {align*} -\left (\int _{}^{1}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} \right ) = c_{3}\tag {1A} \end {align*}

Taking derivative of the solution gives \begin {align*} y^{\prime } = -\sqrt {4 {\operatorname {RootOf}\left (-\left (\int _{}^{\textit {\_Z}}-\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} \right )+x +c_{3} \right )}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}} \end {align*}

substituting \(y^{\prime } = 2\) and \(x = 0\) in the above gives \begin {align*} 2 = -\sqrt {4 \operatorname {RootOf}\left (\int _{}^{\textit {\_Z}}\frac {1}{\sqrt {4 \textit {\_a}^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}}d \textit {\_a} +c_{3} \right )^{\frac {3}{2}}+2 c_{1}}\tag {2A} \end {align*}

Equations {1A,2A} are now solved for \(\{c_{1}, c_{3}\}\). There is no solution for the constants of integrations. This solution is removed.

2.18.2 Solving as second order ode missing x ode

This is missing independent variable second order ode. Solved by reduction of order by using substitution which makes the dependent variable \(y\) an independent variable. Using \begin {align*} y' &= p(y) \end {align*}

Then \begin {align*} y'' &= \frac {dp}{dx}\\ &= \frac {dy}{dx} \frac {dp}{dy}\\ &= p \frac {dp}{dy} \end {align*}

Hence the ode becomes \begin {align*} p \left (y \right ) \left (\frac {d}{d y}p \left (y \right )\right )-3 \sqrt {y} = 0 \end {align*}

Which is now solved as first order ode for \(p(y)\). In canonical form the ODE is \begin {align*} p' &= F(y,p)\\ &= f( y) g(p)\\ &= \frac {3 \sqrt {y}}{p} \end {align*}

Where \(f(y)=3 \sqrt {y}\) and \(g(p)=\frac {1}{p}\). Integrating both sides gives \begin{align*} \frac {1}{\frac {1}{p}} \,dp &= 3 \sqrt {y} \,d y \\ \int { \frac {1}{\frac {1}{p}} \,dp} &= \int {3 \sqrt {y} \,d y} \\ \frac {p^{2}}{2}&=2 y^{\frac {3}{2}}+c_{1} \\ \end{align*} The solution is \[ \frac {p \left (y \right )^{2}}{2}-2 y^{\frac {3}{2}}-c_{1} = 0 \] Initial conditions are used to solve for \(c_{1}\). Substituting \(y=1\) and \(p=2\) in the above solution gives an equation to solve for the constant of integration. \begin {align*} -c_{1} = 0 \end {align*}

The solutions are \begin {align*} c_{1} = 0 \end {align*}

Trying the constant \begin {align*} c_{1} = 0 \end {align*}

Substituting \(c_{1}\) found above in the general solution gives \begin {align*} \frac {p^{2}}{2}-2 y^{\frac {3}{2}} = 0 \end {align*}

The constant \(c_{1} = 0\) gives valid solution.

For solution (1) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is \begin {align*} \frac {{y^{\prime }}^{2}}{2}-2 y^{\frac {3}{2}} = 0 \end {align*}

Solving the given ode for \(y^{\prime }\) results in \(2\) differential equations to solve. Each one of these will generate a solution. The equations generated are \begin {align*} y^{\prime }&=2 \sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}} \tag {1} \\ y^{\prime }&=-2 \sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}} \tag {2} \end {align*}

Now each one of the above ODE is solved.

Solving equation (1)

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int \frac {1}{2 \sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}}d y &= \int {dx}\\ \frac {2 y}{\sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}}&= x +c_{2} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are used to solve for \(c_{2}\). Substituting \(x=0\) and \(y=1\) in the above solution gives an equation to solve for the constant of integration. \begin {align*} 2 = c_{2} \end {align*}

The solutions are \begin {align*} c_{2} = 2 \end {align*}

Trying the constant \begin {align*} c_{2} = 2 \end {align*}

Substituting \(c_{2}\) found above in the general solution gives \begin {align*} \frac {2 y}{\sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}} = x +2 \end {align*}

The constant \(c_{2} = 2\) gives valid solution.

Solving equation (2)

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int -\frac {1}{2 \sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}}d y &= \int {dx}\\ -\frac {2 y}{\sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}}&= x +c_{3} \end {align*}

Initial conditions are used to solve for \(c_{3}\). Substituting \(x=0\) and \(y=1\) in the above solution gives an equation to solve for the constant of integration. \begin {align*} -2 = c_{3} \end {align*}

The solutions are \begin {align*} c_{3} = -2 \end {align*}

Trying the constant \begin {align*} c_{3} = -2 \end {align*}

Substituting \(c_{3}\) found above in the general solution gives \begin {align*} -\frac {2 y}{\sqrt {y^{\frac {3}{2}}}} = x -2 \end {align*}

The constant \(c_{3} = -2\) gives valid solution.

Initial conditions are used to solve for the constants of integration.
