4.23.1 Solving as second order ode missing x ode

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(y) \end {align*}

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

Hence the ode becomes \begin {align*} y p \left (y \right ) \left (\frac {d}{d y}p \left (y \right )\right )+\left (-p \left (y \right )-y^{2}\right ) p \left (y \right ) = 0 \end {align*}

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

Entering Linear first order ODE solver. In canonical form a linear first order is \begin {align*} \frac {d}{d y}p \left (y \right ) + p(y)p \left (y \right ) &= q(y) \end {align*}

Where here \begin {align*} p(y) &=-\frac {1}{y}\\ q(y) &=y \end {align*}

Hence the ode is \begin {align*} \frac {d}{d y}p \left (y \right )-\frac {p \left (y \right )}{y} = y \end {align*}

The integrating factor \(\mu \) is \begin{align*} \mu &= {\mathrm e}^{\int -\frac {1}{y}d y} \\ &= \frac {1}{y} \\ \end{align*} The ode becomes \begin {align*} \frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}y}}\left ( \mu p\right ) &= \left (\mu \right ) \left (y\right ) \\ \frac {\mathop {\mathrm {d}}}{ \mathop {\mathrm {d}y}} \left (\frac {p}{y}\right ) &= \left (\frac {1}{y}\right ) \left (y\right )\\ \mathrm {d} \left (\frac {p}{y}\right ) &= \mathrm {d} y \end {align*}

Integrating gives \begin {align*} \frac {p}{y} &= \int {\mathrm {d} y}\\ \frac {p}{y} &= y + c_{1} \end {align*}

Dividing both sides by the integrating factor \(\mu =\frac {1}{y}\) results in \begin {align*} p \left (y \right ) &= c_{1} y +y^{2} \end {align*}

which simplifies to \begin {align*} p \left (y \right ) &= y \left (y +c_{1} \right ) \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 } = y \left (y+c_{1} \right ) \end {align*}

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int \frac {1}{y \left (y +c_{1} \right )}d y &= x +c_{2}\\ \frac {\ln \left (y \right )-\ln \left (y +c_{1} \right )}{c_{1}}&=x +c_{2} \end {align*}

Solving for \(y\) gives these solutions \begin {align*} y_1&=-\frac {c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} c_{2} +c_{1} x}}{-1+{\mathrm e}^{c_{1} c_{2} +c_{1} x}}\\ &=-\frac {c_{1} c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}}{-1+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= -\frac {c_{1} c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}}{-1+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = -\frac {c_{1} c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}}{-1+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{c_{1} x}} \] Verified OK.
