Solve

$$\begin{array}{rl}{(y-2x{y}^{\prime })}^2& ={y^{\prime }}^3\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{r}{(-2xp+y)}^2=p^3\end{array}$$

Solving for $y$ from the above results in

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(1)}& y& =2xp+p^{3/2}\text{(2)}& y& =2xp-p^{3/2}\end{array}$$

This has the form

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(*)}& y=xf(p)+g(p)\end{array}$$

Where $f,g$ are functions of $p=y^{\prime }(x)$. Each of the above ode’s is dAlembert ode which is now solved.

Solving ode 1A

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

$$\begin{array}{rl}p& =f+(x{f}^{\prime }+g^{\prime })\frac{dp}{dx}\\ \text{(2)}& p-f& =(x{f}^{\prime }+g^{\prime })\frac{dp}{dx}\end{array}$$

Comparing the form $y=xf+g$ to (1A) shows that

$$\begin{array}{rl}f& =2p\\ g& =p^{3/2}\end{array}$$

Hence (2) becomes

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(2A)}& -p=(2x+\frac{3\sqrt{p}}{2})p^{\prime }\left(x\right)\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{r}-p=0\end{array}$$

Solving the above for $p$ results in

$$\begin{array}{rl}{p}_1& =0\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{r}y=0\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(3)}& p^{\prime }\left(x\right)=-\frac{p\left(x\right)}{2x+\frac{3\sqrt{p\left(x\right)}}{2}}\end{array}$$

Inverting the above ode gives

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(4)}& \frac{d}{dp}x\left(p\right)=-\frac{2x\left(p\right)+\frac{3\sqrt{p}}{2}}{p}\end{array}$$

This ODE is now solved for $x\left(p\right)$. The integrating factor is

$$\begin{array}{rl}\mu & ={\mathrm{e}}^{\int \frac{2}{p}dp}\\ \mu & =p^2\\ \text{(5)}& \mu & =p^2\end{array}$$

Integrating gives

$$\begin{array}{rl}x\left(p\right)& =\frac{1}{\mu }(\int \mu (-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{p}})dp+c_1)\\ & =\frac{1}{\mu }(\frac{-3p^{5/2}+5c_1}{5p^2}+c_1)\\ \text{(5)}& & =\frac{-3p^{5/2}+5c_1}{5p^2}\end{array}$$

Now we need to eliminate $p$ between the above solution and (1A). The first method is to solve for $p$ from Eq. (1A) and substitute the result into Eq. (5). The Second method is to solve for $p$ from Eq. (5) and substitute the result into (1A).

Eliminating $p$ from the following two equations

$$\begin{array}{rl}x& =\frac{-3p^{5/2}+5c_1}{5p^2}\\ y& =2xp+p^{3/2}\end{array}$$

results in

$$\begin{array}{rl}p& =\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2\end{array}$$

Substituting the above into Eq (1A) and simplifying gives

$$\begin{array}{rl}y& =2x\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2+{\left(\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2\right)}^{3/2}\end{array}$$

Solving ode 2A

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

$$\begin{array}{rl}p& =f+(x{f}^{\prime }+g^{\prime })\frac{dp}{dx}\\ \text{(2)}& p-f& =(x{f}^{\prime }+g^{\prime })\frac{dp}{dx}\end{array}$$

Comparing the form $y=xf+g$ to (1A) shows that

$$\begin{array}{rl}f& =2p\\ g& =-p^{3/2}\end{array}$$

Hence (2) becomes

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(2A)}& -p=(2x-\frac{3\sqrt{p}}{2})p^{\prime }\left(x\right)\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{r}-p=0\end{array}$$

Solving the above for $p$ results in

$$\begin{array}{rl}{p}_1& =0\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{r}y=0\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(3)}& p^{\prime }\left(x\right)=-\frac{p\left(x\right)}{2x-\frac{3\sqrt{p\left(x\right)}}{2}}\end{array}$$

Inverting the above ode gives

$$\begin{array}{}\text{(4)}& \frac{d}{dp}x\left(p\right)=-\frac{2x\left(p\right)-\frac{3\sqrt{p}}{2}}{p}\end{array}$$

This ODE is now solved for $x\left(p\right)$. The integrating factor is

$$\begin{array}{rl}\mu & ={\mathrm{e}}^{\int \frac{2}{p}dp}\\ \mu & =p^2\\ \text{(5)}& \mu & =p^2\end{array}$$

Integrating gives

$$\begin{array}{rl}x\left(p\right)& =\frac{1}{\mu }(\int \mu \left(\frac{3}{2\sqrt{p}}\right)dp+c_2)\\ & =\frac{1}{\mu }(\frac{3p^{5/2}+5c_2}{5p^2}+c_2)\\ \text{(5)}& & =\frac{3p^{5/2}+5c_2}{5p^2}\end{array}$$

Now we need to eliminate $p$ between the above solution and (1A). The first method is to solve for $p$ from Eq. (1A) and substitute the result into Eq. (5). The Second method is to solve for $p$ from Eq. (5) and substitute the result into (1A).

Eliminating $p$ from the following two equations

$$\begin{array}{rl}x& =\frac{3p^{5/2}+5c_2}{5p^2}\\ y& =2xp-p^{3/2}\end{array}$$

results in

$$\begin{array}{rl}p& =\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2\end{array}$$

Substituting the above into Eq (1A) and simplifying gives

$$\begin{array}{rl}y& =2x\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2-{\left(\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2\right)}^{3/2}\end{array}$$

Which simplifies to

$$\begin{array}{rl}y& =0\\ y& =\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2(\sqrt{\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2}+2x)\\ y& =2x\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2-{\left(\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2\right)}^{3/2}\end{array}$$

The solution

$$y=\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2(\sqrt{\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5+5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4-5c_1)}^2}+2x)$$

was found not to satisfy the ode or the IC. Hence it is removed. The solution

$$y=2x\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2-{\left(\mathrm{RootOf}{(3{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^5-5x{\mathit{\text{\_Z}}}^4+5c_2)}^2\right)}^{3/2}$$

was found not to satisfy the ode or the IC. Hence it is removed.
