2.3.29.1 Solved using first_order_ode_homog_type_D

Entering first order ode homog type D solver

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

The ode

\begin{equation} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = 2 x \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2} \end{equation}

is separable as it can be written as

\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right )&= 2 x \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2}\\ &= f(x) g(u) \end{align*}

Where

\begin{align*} f(x) &= 2 x\\ g(u) &= \sin \left (u \right )^{2} \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(u)} \,du} &= \int { f(x) \,dx} \\ \int { \frac {1}{\sin \left (u \right )^{2}}\,du} &= \int { 2 x \,dx} \\ \end{align*}

\[ -\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right )=x^{2}+c_1 \]

We now need to find the singular solutions, these are found by finding for what values \(g(u)\) is zero, since we had to divide by this above. Solving \(g(u)=0\) or

\[ \sin \left (u \right )^{2}=0 \]

for \(u \left (x \right )\) gives

\begin{align*} u \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*} -\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right ) &= x^{2}+c_1 \\ u \left (x \right ) &= 0 \\ \end{align*}

s0Converting \(-\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right ) = x^{2}+c_1\) back to \(y\) gives

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

Converting \(u \left (x \right ) = 0\) back to \(y\) gives

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

Solving for \(y\) gives

\begin{align*} y &= 0 \\ y &= \left (\pi -\operatorname {arccot}\left (x^{2}+c_1 \right )\right ) x \\ \end{align*}

2.3.29.2 Solved using first_order_ode_homog_type_D2

0.182 (sec)

Entering first order ode homog type D2 solver

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

Applying change of variables \(y = u \left (x \right ) x\), then the ode becomes

\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) x +u \left (x \right ) = 2 x^{2} \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2}+u \left (x \right ) \end{align*}

Which is now solved The ode

\begin{equation} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = 2 x \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2} \end{equation}

is separable as it can be written as

\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right )&= 2 x \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2}\\ &= f(x) g(u) \end{align*}

Where

\begin{align*} f(x) &= 2 x\\ g(u) &= \sin \left (u \right )^{2} \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(u)} \,du} &= \int { f(x) \,dx} \\ \int { \frac {1}{\sin \left (u \right )^{2}}\,du} &= \int { 2 x \,dx} \\ \end{align*}

\[ -\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right )=x^{2}+c_1 \]

We now need to find the singular solutions, these are found by finding for what values \(g(u)\) is zero, since we had to divide by this above. Solving \(g(u)=0\) or

\[ \sin \left (u \right )^{2}=0 \]

for \(u \left (x \right )\) gives

\begin{align*} u \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

Converting \(-\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right ) = x^{2}+c_1\) back to \(y\) gives

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

Converting \(u \left (x \right ) = 0\) back to \(y\) gives

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

Solving for \(y\) gives
