Solve

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

Solved as first order ode of type dAlembert

Time used: 0.226 (sec)

Let \(p=y^{\prime }\) the ode becomes

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

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

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

This has the form

\begin{align*} y=xf(p)+g(p)\tag {*} \end{align*}

Where \(f,g\) are functions of \(p=y'(x)\). The above ode is dAlembert ode which is now solved.

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

\begin{align*} p &= f+(x f'+g') \frac {dp}{dx}\\ p-f &= (x f'+g') \frac {dp}{dx}\tag {2} \end{align*}

Comparing the form \(y=x f + g\) to (1A) shows that

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

Hence (2) becomes

\begin{align*} p +1 = 2 p p^{\prime }\left (x \right )\tag {2A} \end{align*}

The singular solution is found by setting \(\frac {dp}{dx}=0\) in the above which gives

\begin{align*} p +1 = 0 \end{align*}

Solving the above for \(p\) results in

\begin{align*} p_{1} &=-1 \end{align*}

Substituting these in (1A) and keeping singular solution that verifies the ode gives

\begin{align*} y = 1-x \end{align*}

The general solution is found when \( \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}p}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}\neq 0\). From eq. (2A). This results in

\begin{align*} p^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = \frac {p \left (x \right )+1}{2 p \left (x \right )}\tag {3} \end{align*}

This ODE is now solved for \(p \left (x \right )\). No inversion is needed. Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int \frac {2 p}{p +1}d p &= dx\\ 2 p -2 \ln \left (p +1\right )&= x +c_1 \end{align*}

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} \frac {p +1}{2 p}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(p \left (x \right )\). 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*} p \left (x \right ) = -1 \end{align*}

Solving for \(p \left (x \right )\) gives

\begin{align*} p \left (x \right ) &= -1 \\ p \left (x \right ) &= -\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-1-\frac {x}{2}-\frac {c_1}{2}}\right )-1 \\ \end{align*}

Substituing the above solution for \(p\) in (2A) gives

\begin{align*} y = 1-x\\ y = {\left (-\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-1-\frac {x}{2}-\frac {c_1}{2}}\right )-1\right )}^{2}-x\\ \end{align*}

Summary of solutions found

\begin{align*} y &= 1-x \\ y &= {\left (-\operatorname {LambertW}\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-1-\frac {x}{2}-\frac {c_1}{2}}\right )-1\right )}^{2}-x \\ \end{align*}
