Solve

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

Solved as second order missing x ode

Time used: 1.533 (sec)

This is missing independent variable second order ode. Solved by reduction of order by using substitution which makes the dependent variable \(y\) an independent variable. Using

\begin{align*} y' &= p \end{align*}

Then

\begin{align*} y'' &= \frac {dp}{dx}\\ &= \frac {dp}{dy}\frac {dy}{dx}\\ &= p \frac {dp}{dy} \end{align*}

Hence the ode becomes

\begin{align*} p \left (y \right )^{2} \left (\frac {d}{d y}p \left (y \right )\right )+y^{n} = 0 \end{align*}

Which is now solved as first order ode for \(p(y)\).

The ode \(p^{\prime } = -\frac {y^{n}}{p^{2}}\) is separable as it can be written as

\begin{align*} p^{\prime }&= -\frac {y^{n}}{p^{2}}\\ &= f(y) g(p) \end{align*}

Where

\begin{align*} f(y) &= -y^{n}\\ g(p) &= \frac {1}{p^{2}} \end{align*}

Integrating gives

\begin{align*} \int { \frac {1}{g(p)} \,dp} &= \int { f(y) \,dy}\\ \int { p^{2}\,dp} &= \int { -y^{n} \,dy}\\ \frac {p^{3}}{3}&=-\frac {y^{n +1}}{n +1}+c_1 \end{align*}

Solving for \(p\) gives

\begin{align*} p &= \frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{n +1} \\ p &= -\frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )} \\ p &= -\frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 n +2} \\ \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 } = \frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{n +1} \end{align*}

Unable to integrate (or intergal too complicated), and since no initial conditions are given, then the result can be written as

\[ \int _{}^{y}\frac {n +1}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}d \tau = x +c_2 \]

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} \frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{n +1}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(y\). 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*} y = {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\ln \left (c_1 n +c_1 \right )}{n +1}} \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 {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )} \end{align*}

Unable to integrate (or intergal too complicated), and since no initial conditions are given, then the result can be written as

\[ \int _{}^{y}-\frac {2 \left (n +1\right )}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (1+i \sqrt {3}\right )}d \tau = x +c_3 \]

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} -\frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (1+i \sqrt {3}\right )}{2 \left (n +1\right )}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(y\). 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*} y = {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\ln \left (c_1 n +c_1 \right )}{n +1}} \end{align*}

For solution (3) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = -\frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 n +2} \end{align*}

Unable to integrate (or intergal too complicated), and since no initial conditions are given, then the result can be written as

\[ \int _{}^{y}\frac {2 n +2}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (i \sqrt {3}-1\right )}d \tau = x +c_4 \]

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} \frac {{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 y^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (i \sqrt {3}-1\right )}{2 n +2}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(y\). 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*} y = {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\ln \left (c_1 n +c_1 \right )}{n +1}} \end{align*}

Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.

The solution

\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\ln \left (c_1 n +c_1 \right )}{n +1}} \]

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

Summary of solutions found

\begin{align*} \int _{}^{y}\frac {n +1}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}d \tau &= x +c_2 \\ \int _{}^{y}\frac {2 n +2}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (i \sqrt {3}-1\right )}d \tau &= x +c_4 \\ \int _{}^{y}-\frac {2 \left (n +1\right )}{{\left (\left (3 c_1 n -3 \tau ^{n +1}+3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (1+i \sqrt {3}\right )}d \tau &= x +c_3 \\ \end{align*}

Solved as second order can be made integrable

Time used: 1.503 (sec)

Multiplying the ode by \(y^{\prime }\) gives

\[ {y^{\prime }}^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{n -1} y^{\prime } y = 0 \]

Integrating the above w.r.t \(x\) gives

\begin{align*} \int \left ({y^{\prime }}^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{n -1} y^{\prime } y\right )d x &= 0 \\ \frac {{y^{\prime }}^{3}}{3}+\frac {y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}}{n +1} &= c_1 \end{align*}

Which is now solved for \(y\). Solving for the derivative gives these ODE’s to solve

\begin{align*} \tag{1} y^{\prime }&=\frac {{\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{n +1} \\ \tag{2} y^{\prime }&=-\frac {{\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )} \\ \tag{3} y^{\prime }&=-\frac {{\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 \left (n +1\right )}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}\, {\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y\right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{2 n +2} \\ \end{align*}

Now each of the above is solved separately.

Solving Eq. (1)

Unable to integrate (or intergal too complicated), and since no initial conditions are given, then the result can be written as

\[ \int _{}^{y}\frac {n +1}{{\left (\left (-3 \tau ^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (\tau \right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}d \tau = x +c_2 \]

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} \frac {{\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y \right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}}}{n +1}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(y\). 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.

for \(y\). 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.

Singular solutions are found by solving

\begin{align*} \frac {{\left (\left (-3 y^{2} {\mathrm e}^{\left (n -1\right ) \ln \left (y \right )}+3 c_1 n +3 c_1 \right ) \left (n +1\right )^{2}\right )}^{{1}/{3}} \left (i \sqrt {3}-1\right )}{2 n +2}&= 0 \end{align*}

for \(y\). 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*} y = {\mathrm e}^{\frac {\ln \left (c_1 \left (n +1\right )\right )}{n +1}} \end{align*}
