\begin{align*} y&=x {y^{\prime }}^{2} \end{align*}
Solved as first order homogeneous class A ode
Time used: 0.760 (sec)
Solving for \(y^{\prime }\) gives
\begin{align*} y^{\prime }&=\frac {\sqrt {x y}}{x}\tag {1} \\ y^{\prime }&=-\frac {\sqrt {x y}}{x}\tag {2} \end{align*}
In canonical form, the ODE is
\begin{align*} y' &= F(x,y)\\ &= \frac {\sqrt {x y}}{x}\tag {1} \end{align*}
An ode of the form \(y' = \frac {M(x,y)}{N(x,y)}\) is called homogeneous if the functions \(M(x,y)\) and \(N(x,y)\) are both homogeneous
functions and of the same order. Recall that a function \(f(x,y)\) is homogeneous of order \(n\) if
\[ f(t^n x, t^n y)= t^n f(x,y) \]
In this
case, it can be seen that both \(M=\sqrt {x y}\) and \(N=x\) are both homogeneous and of the same order \(n=1\). Therefore
this is a homogeneous ode. Since this ode is homogeneous, it is converted to separable ODE
using the substitution \(u=\frac {y}{x}\), or \(y=ux\). Hence
\[ \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}y}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}= \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}x + u \]
Applying the transformation \(y=ux\) to the above ODE in (1)
gives
\begin{align*} \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}x + u &= \sqrt {u}\\ \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}} &= \frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x} \end{align*}
Or
\[ u^{\prime }\left (x \right )-\frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x} = 0 \]
Or
\[ u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) x -\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+u \left (x \right ) = 0 \]
Which is now solved as separable in \(u \left (x \right )\).
The ode \(u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = \frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x}\) is separable as it can be written as
\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right )&= \frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x}\\ &= f(x) g(u) \end{align*}
Where
\begin{align*} f(x) &= \frac {1}{x}\\ g(u) &= \sqrt {u}-u \end{align*}
Integrating gives
\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(u)} \,du} &= \int { f(x) \,dx}\\ \int { \frac {1}{\sqrt {u}-u}\,du} &= \int { \frac {1}{x} \,dx}\\ -2 \ln \left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-1\right )&=\ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \end{align*}
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 \(\sqrt {u}-u=0\) for \(u \left (x \right )\) gives
\begin{align*} u \left (x \right )&=0\\ u \left (x \right )&=1 \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*} -2 \ln \left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-1\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_1\\ u \left (x \right ) = 0\\ u \left (x \right ) = 1 \end{align*}
Converting \(-2 \ln \left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-1\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_1\) back to \(y\) gives
\begin{align*} -2 \ln \left (\sqrt {\frac {y}{x}}-1\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \end{align*}
Converting \(u \left (x \right ) = 0\) back to \(y\) gives
\begin{align*} y = 0 \end{align*}
Converting \(u \left (x \right ) = 1\) back to \(y\) gives
\begin{align*} y = x \end{align*}
In canonical form, the ODE is
\begin{align*} y' &= F(x,y)\\ &= -\frac {\sqrt {x y}}{x}\tag {1} \end{align*}
An ode of the form \(y' = \frac {M(x,y)}{N(x,y)}\) is called homogeneous if the functions \(M(x,y)\) and \(N(x,y)\) are both homogeneous
functions and of the same order. Recall that a function \(f(x,y)\) is homogeneous of order \(n\) if
\[ f(t^n x, t^n y)= t^n f(x,y) \]
In this
case, it can be seen that both \(M=-\sqrt {x y}\) and \(N=x\) are both homogeneous and of the same order \(n=1\). Therefore
this is a homogeneous ode. Since this ode is homogeneous, it is converted to separable ODE
using the substitution \(u=\frac {y}{x}\), or \(y=ux\). Hence
\[ \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}y}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}= \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}x + u \]
Applying the transformation \(y=ux\) to the above ODE in (1)
gives
\begin{align*} \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}x + u &= -\sqrt {u}\\ \frac { \mathop {\mathrm {d}u}}{\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}} &= \frac {-\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x} \end{align*}
Or
\[ u^{\prime }\left (x \right )-\frac {-\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}-u \left (x \right )}{x} = 0 \]
Or
\[ u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) x +\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+u \left (x \right ) = 0 \]
Which is now solved as separable in \(u \left (x \right )\).
The ode \(u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = -\frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+u \left (x \right )}{x}\) is separable as it can be written as
\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right )&= -\frac {\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+u \left (x \right )}{x}\\ &= f(x) g(u) \end{align*}
Where
\begin{align*} f(x) &= \frac {1}{x}\\ g(u) &= -\sqrt {u}-u \end{align*}
Integrating gives
\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(u)} \,du} &= \int { f(x) \,dx}\\ \int { \frac {1}{-\sqrt {u}-u}\,du} &= \int { \frac {1}{x} \,dx}\\ \ln \left (\frac {1}{\left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+1\right )^{2}}\right )&=\ln \left (x \right )+c_2 \end{align*}
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 \(-\sqrt {u}-u=0\) 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*} \ln \left (\frac {1}{\left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+1\right )^{2}}\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_2\\ u \left (x \right ) = 0 \end{align*}
Converting \(\ln \left (\frac {1}{\left (\sqrt {u \left (x \right )}+1\right )^{2}}\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_2\) back to \(y\) gives
\begin{align*} \ln \left (\frac {1}{\left (\sqrt {\frac {y}{x}}+1\right )^{2}}\right ) = \ln \left (x \right )+c_2 \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 &= \left (\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}-1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}}-x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}+1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_1} \\
y &= \left (\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}+1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}}-x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}+1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_1} \\
\end{align*}
Solving for \(y\) gives
\begin{align*}
y &= -\left (-\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}-1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}-1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_2} \\
y &= -\left (-\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}+1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}-1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_2} \\
\end{align*}
Summary of solutions found
\begin{align*}
y &= \left (\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}-1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}}-x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}+1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_1} \\
y &= \left (\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}+1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}}-x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_1}+1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_1} \\

y &= -\left (-\frac {2 x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2} \left (\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}+1\right )}{\sqrt {x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}}}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{c_2}-1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-c_2} \\

\end{align*}
Solved as first order ode of type nonlinear p but separable
Time used: 0.178 (sec)
The ode has the form
\begin{align*} (y')^{\frac {n}{m}} &= f(x) g(y)\tag {1} \end{align*}
Where \(n=2, m=1, f=\frac {1}{x} , g=y\). Hence the ode is
\begin{align*} (y')^{2} &= \frac {y}{x} \end{align*}
Solving for \(y^{\prime }\) from (1) gives
\begin{align*} y^{\prime } &=\sqrt {f g}\\ y^{\prime } &=-\sqrt {f g} \end{align*}
To be able to solve as separable ode, we have to now assume that \(f>0,g>0\).
\begin{align*} \frac {1}{x} &> 0\\ y &> 0 \end{align*}
Under the above assumption the differential equations become separable and can be written
as
\begin{align*} y^{\prime } &=\sqrt {f}\, \sqrt {g}\\ y^{\prime } &=-\sqrt {f}\, \sqrt {g} \end{align*}
Therefore
\begin{align*} \frac {1}{\sqrt {g}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {f}\right )\,dx\\ -\frac {1}{\sqrt {g}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {f}\right )\,dx \end{align*}
Replacing \(f(x),g(y)\) by their values gives
\begin{align*} \frac {1}{\sqrt {y}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\right )\,dx\\ -\frac {1}{\sqrt {y}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\right )\,dx \end{align*}
Integrating now gives the following solutions
\begin{align*} \int \frac {1}{\sqrt {y}}d y &= \int \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}d x +c_1\\ 2 \sqrt {y} &= 2 x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\\ \int -\frac {1}{\sqrt {y}}d y &= \int \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}d x +c_1\\ -2 \sqrt {y} &= 2 x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}} \end{align*}
Therefore
\begin{align*}
y &= x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\, c_1 +\frac {c_1^{2}}{4}+x \\
y &= x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\, c_1 +\frac {c_1^{2}}{4}+x \\
\end{align*}
Summary of solutions found
\begin{align*}
y &= x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\, c_1 +\frac {c_1^{2}}{4}+x \\
y &= x \sqrt {\frac {1}{x}}\, c_1 +\frac {c_1^{2}}{4}+x \\
\end{align*}
Solved as first order ode of type dAlembert
Time used: 0.070 (sec)
Let \(p=y^{\prime }\) the ode becomes
\begin{align*} y = x \,p^{2} \end{align*}
Solving for \(y\) from the above results in
\begin{align*}
\tag{1} y &= x \,p^{2} \\
\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 &= p^{2}\\ g &= 0 \end{align*}
Hence (2) becomes
\begin{align*} -p^{2}+p = 2 x 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^{2}+p = 0 \end{align*}
Solving the above for \(p\) results in
\begin{align*} p_{1} &=0\\ p_{2} &=1 \end{align*}
Substituting these in (1A) and keeping singular solution that verifies the ode gives
\begin{align*} y = 0\\ y = 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 )^{2}+p \left (x \right )}{2 x p \left (x \right )}\tag {3} \end{align*}
This ODE is now solved for \(p \left (x \right )\). No inversion is needed. In canonical form a linear first order is
\begin{align*} p^{\prime }\left (x \right ) + q(x)p \left (x \right ) &= p(x) \end{align*}
Comparing the above to the given ode shows that
\begin{align*} q(x) &=\frac {1}{2 x}\\ p(x) &=\frac {1}{2 x} \end{align*}
The integrating factor \(\mu \) is
\begin{align*} \mu &= e^{\int {q\,dx}}\\ &= {\mathrm e}^{\int \frac {1}{2 x}d x}\\ &= \sqrt {x} \end{align*}
The ode becomes
\begin{align*}
\frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}\left ( \mu p\right ) &= \mu p \\
\frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}\left ( \mu p\right ) &= \left (\mu \right ) \left (\frac {1}{2 x}\right ) \\
\frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}x}} \left (p \sqrt {x}\right ) &= \left (\sqrt {x}\right ) \left (\frac {1}{2 x}\right ) \\
\mathrm {d} \left (p \sqrt {x}\right ) &= \left (\frac {1}{2 \sqrt {x}}\right )\, \mathrm {d} x \\
\end{align*}
Integrating gives
\begin{align*} p \sqrt {x}&= \int {\frac {1}{2 \sqrt {x}} \,dx} \\ &=\sqrt {x} + c_1 \end{align*}
Dividing throughout by the integrating factor \(\sqrt {x}\) gives the final solution
\[ p \left (x \right ) = \frac {\sqrt {x}+c_1}{\sqrt {x}} \]
Substituing the above
solution for \(p\) in (2A) gives
\begin{align*} y = \left (\sqrt {x}+c_1 \right )^{2}\\ \end{align*}
Summary of solutions found
\begin{align*}
y &= 0 \\
y &= x \\
y &= \left (\sqrt {x}+c_1 \right )^{2} \\
