Solve

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

1.9.1 Solved as first order quadrature ode

Time used: 0.023 (sec)

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_1 \\ y &= c_1 \end{align*}

1.9.2 Solved as first order homogeneous class D2 ode

Time used: 0.145 (sec)

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 ) = 0 \end{align*}

Which is now solved The ode \(u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = -\frac {u \left (x \right )}{x}\) is separable as it can be written as

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

Where

\begin{align*} f(x) &= -\frac {1}{x}\\ g(u) &= u \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(u)} \,du} &= \int { f(x) \,dx}\\ \int { \frac {1}{u}\,du} &= \int { -\frac {1}{x} \,dx}\\ \ln \left (u \left (x \right )\right )&=\ln \left (\frac {1}{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 \(u=0\) 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 (u \left (x \right )\right ) = \ln \left (\frac {1}{x}\right )+c_1\\ u \left (x \right ) = 0 \end{align*}

Solving for \(u \left (x \right )\) from the above solution(s) gives (after possible removing of solutions that do not verify)

\begin{align*} u \left (x \right )&=0\\ u \left (x \right )&=\frac {{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}{x} \end{align*}

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

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

Converting \(u \left (x \right ) = \frac {{\mathrm e}^{c_1}}{x}\) back to \(y\) gives

\begin{align*} y = {\mathrm e}^{c_1} \end{align*}

1.9.3 Solved as first order ode of type differential

Time used: 0.009 (sec)

Writing the ode as

\begin{align*} y^{\prime }&=0\tag {1} \end{align*}

Which becomes

\begin{align*} \left (1\right ) dy &= \left (0\right ) dx\tag {2} \end{align*}

But the RHS is complete differential because

\begin{align*} \left (0\right ) dx &= d\left (0\right ) \end{align*}

Hence (2) becomes

\begin{align*} \left (1\right ) dy &= d\left (0\right ) \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} y = c_1 \end{align*}
