\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }+{y^{\prime }}^{2}&=0 \end{align*}

1.14.1 Solved as second order missing y ode

Time used: 0.087 (sec)

This is second order ode with missing dependent variable \(y\). Let

\begin{align*} p(x) &= y^{\prime } \end{align*}

Then

\begin{align*} p'(x) &= y^{\prime \prime } \end{align*}

Hence the ode becomes

\begin{align*} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )+p \left (x \right )^{2} = 0 \end{align*}

Which is now solve for \(p(x)\) as first order ode. Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int -\frac {1}{p^{2}}d p &= dx\\ \frac {1}{p}&= x +c_1 \end{align*}

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} -p^{2}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(p \left (x \right )\). This is because we had to divide by this in the above step. This gives the following singular solution(s), which also have to satisfy the given ODE.

\begin{align*} p \left (x \right ) = 0\\ p \left (x \right ) = 0 \end{align*}

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

\begin{align*} p \left (x \right )&=0\\ p \left (x \right )&=\frac {1}{x +c_1} \end{align*}

For solution (1) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

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

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_2 \\ y &= c_2 \end{align*}

For solution (2) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = \frac {1}{x +c_1} \end{align*}

Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {\frac {1}{x +c_1}\, dx}\\ y &= \ln \left (x +c_1 \right ) + c_3 \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.
