Solve

\begin{align*} \frac {y^{\prime } y}{1+\frac {\sqrt {1+{y^{\prime }}^{2}}}{2}}&=-x \end{align*}

With initial conditions

\begin{align*} y \left (0\right )&=3 \end{align*}

Solved as first order dAlembert ode

Time used: 0.576 (sec)

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

\begin{align*} \frac {p y}{1+\frac {\sqrt {p^{2}+1}}{2}} = -x \end{align*}

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

\begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= -\frac {x \left (2+\sqrt {p^{2}+1}\right )}{2 p} \\ \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 &= \frac {-2-\sqrt {p^{2}+1}}{2 p}\\ g &= 0 \end{align*}

Hence (2) becomes

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

No valid singular solutions found.

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 )-\frac {-2-\sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}}{2 p \left (x \right )}}{-\frac {x}{2 \sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}}+\frac {x}{p \left (x \right )^{2}}+\frac {x \sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}}{2 p \left (x \right )^{2}}}\tag {3} \end{align*}

This ODE is now solved for \(p \left (x \right )\). No inversion is needed. The ode \(p^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = \frac {\left (2 p \left (x \right )^{2}+\sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}+2\right ) \sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}\, p \left (x \right )}{x \left (1+2 \sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+1}\right )}\) is separable as it can be written as

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

Where

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

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(p)} \,dp} &= \int { f(x) \,dx}\\ \int { \frac {1+2 \sqrt {p^{2}+1}}{\left (2 p^{2}+\sqrt {p^{2}+1}+2\right ) \sqrt {p^{2}+1}\, p}\,dp} &= \int { \frac {1}{x} \,dx}\\ \ln \left (\frac {p \left (x \right )}{\sqrt {p \left (x \right )^{2}+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 \(g(p)\) is zero, since we had to divide by this above. Solving \(g(p)=0\) or \(\frac {\left (2 p^{2}+\sqrt {p^{2}+1}+2\right ) \sqrt {p^{2}+1}\, p}{1+2 \sqrt {p^{2}+1}}=0\) for \(p \left (x \right )\) gives

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

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

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

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

\begin{align*} y = -i x\\ y = i x\\ y = \frac {\left (-2-\sqrt {\frac {{\mathrm e}^{2 c_1} x^{2}}{1-x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 c_1}}+1}\right ) \sqrt {1-x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 c_1}}\, {\mathrm e}^{-c_1}}{2}\\ y = -\frac {\left (-2-\sqrt {\frac {{\mathrm e}^{2 c_1} x^{2}}{1-x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 c_1}}+1}\right ) \sqrt {1-x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 c_1}}\, {\mathrm e}^{-c_1}}{2}\\ \end{align*}

Solving for the constant of integration from initial conditions, the solution becomes

\begin{align*} y = -\left (-2-\sqrt {\frac {x^{2}}{-x^{2}+4}+1}\right ) \sqrt {1-\frac {x^{2}}{4}} \end{align*}

Solving for the constant of integration from initial conditions, the solution becomes

\begin{align*} y = -\left (-2-\sqrt {\frac {x^{2}}{-x^{2}+4}+1}\right ) \sqrt {1-\frac {x^{2}}{4}} \end{align*}

The solution

\[ y = -i x \]

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

\[ y = i x \]

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