    First order nonlinear differential equation

    Hi, I've come across this equation in my research, and I am so far unable to solve it. The equation is: \frac{dV}{dt} + \frac{1}{RC}V - \frac{I}{C}e^{(-V/n)} = \frac{V_f}{RC} - \frac{I}{C} both terms on the right-hand-side are constants; throughout the equation R, C, I, n, and Vf are...

    Second order nonlinear differential equation

    hi, i am facing problem in solving the following differential equation. help me. y''+ayy'+b=0, where y is a function of x, 'a' & 'b' are constants. i have tried substituting y'=u, which implies u'=u*dy/dx, these substitution change the equation to first order but i found no...

    Number of solutions of a nonlinear differential equation.

    As far as I know, for an n-th order homogeneous linear differential equation, there are n number of linearly independent solutions and the general solution to the equation is a linear combination of them. In the case of nth order homogeneous non-linear differential equation can it be shown that...

    Nonlinear Differential equation and simplification techniques

    Suppose there is a nonlinear differential equation in y(x) of the form: y''(x)(c_1+a^2y(x)^2)+p_1(x)y'(x)^3-by(x)y'(x)^2+p_2'(x)(c_1+a^2y(x)^2)+hy(x)=0 Where prime denotes derivative with respect to the argument x; p_i are known variables, and c,a,b,h are constants. Is there any way to write...

    Solving a first-order nonlinear differential equation.

    [Differential equation at the end; All the intermediary stuff is the problem behind it.] I was curious about finding the velocity function for a free-falling object using solely Newton's equations. Using the force diagram, I've deduced that m-mass g-gravitational constant f_net - net...
