Solve

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

Solved as second order missing y ode

Time used: 0.710 (sec)

This is second order ode with missing dependent variable \(y\). Let

\begin{align*} p(x) &= y^{\prime } \end{align*}

Then

\begin{align*} p'(x) &= y^{\prime \prime } \end{align*}

Hence the ode becomes

\begin{align*} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) p^{\prime }\left (x \right )+x p \left (x \right )^{2} = 0 \end{align*}

Which is now solve for \(p(x)\) as first order ode. The ode \(p^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = -\frac {x p \left (x \right )^{2}}{x^{2}+1}\) is separable as it can be written as

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

Where

\begin{align*} f(x) &= -\frac {x}{x^{2}+1}\\ g(p) &= p^{2} \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(p)} \,dp} &= \int { f(x) \,dx}\\ \int { \frac {1}{p^{2}}\,dp} &= \int { -\frac {x}{x^{2}+1} \,dx}\\ -\frac {1}{p \left (x \right )}&=\ln \left (\frac {1}{\sqrt {x^{2}+1}}\right )+c_1 \end{align*}

We now need to find the singular solutions, these are found by finding for what values \(g(p)\) is zero, since we had to divide by this above. Solving \(g(p)=0\) or \(p^{2}=0\) for \(p \left (x \right )\) gives

\begin{align*} p \left (x \right )&=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.

Therefore the solutions found are

\begin{align*} -\frac {1}{p \left (x \right )} = \ln \left (\frac {1}{\sqrt {x^{2}+1}}\right )+c_1\\ p \left (x \right ) = 0 \end{align*}

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

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

For solution (1) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = 0 \end{align*}

Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {0\, dx} + c_2 \\ y &= c_2 \end{align*}

For solution (2) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = -\frac {1}{-\frac {\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )}{2}+c_1} \end{align*}

Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {\frac {2}{\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )-2 c_1}\, dx}\\ y &= \int \frac {2}{\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )-2 c_1}d x + c_3 \end{align*}

\begin{align*} y&= \int \frac {2}{\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )-2 c_1}d x +c_3 \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.

Summary of solutions found

\begin{align*} y &= c_2 \\ y &= 2 \int \frac {1}{\ln \left (x^{2}+1\right )-2 c_1}d x +c_3 \\ \end{align*}
