Re: non linear first order differential equation question

Hello and welcome to MHB, talha! (Sun)

First, I need to say that our goal here at MHB is to help people solve their problems, not solve it for them. You will learn more through guided effort than simply being given the solution.

Second, I suspect the exponents on $e$ are squared as follows:

\(\displaystyle y'=\frac{2xye^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}{y^2+y^2e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}+2x^2e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}\)

Is this correct?

Okay, good. Now can you express the right side of the ODE as a function of \(\displaystyle \frac{x}{y}\) only?

Re: non linear first order differential equation question

This is how I would work the problem:

We are given the ODE:

\(\displaystyle y'=\frac{2xye^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}{y^2+y^2e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}+2x^2e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}\)

We observe that we must have $y\ne0$ so multiplying the right by \(\displaystyle 1=\frac{y^{-2}}{y^{-2}}\) will not result in the loss of any trivial solution:

\(\displaystyle y'=\frac{2\dfrac{x}{y}e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}{1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}+2\left(\dfrac{x}{y} \right)^2e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}\)

Now the ODE is in the form \(\displaystyle y'=f\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)\) and we may use the substitution:

\(\displaystyle v=\frac{y}{x}\implies y=vx\,\therefore y'=v+xv'\)

Hence, the ODE may now be written:

\(\displaystyle v+xv'=\frac{\dfrac{2}{v}e^{v^{-2}}}{1+e^{v^{-2}}+\dfrac{2}{v^2}e^{v^{-2}}}\)

Multiplying the right side by \(\displaystyle 1=\frac{v^2}{v^2}\) we obtain:

\(\displaystyle v+xv'=\frac{2ve^{v^{-2}}}{v^2+v^2e^{v^{-2}}+2e^{v^{-2}}}\)

Subtracting through by $v$ and simplifying, we get:

\(\displaystyle xv'=-\frac{v^3\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)}{v^2\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)+2e^{v^{-2}}}\)

Separation of variables yields:

\(\displaystyle \frac{v^2\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)+2e^{v^{-2}}}{v^3\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)}\,dv=-\frac{1}{x}\,dx\)

On the left side, dividing each term by \(\displaystyle 1+e^{v^{-2}}\) allows us to write:

\(\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{-2v^{-3}e^{v^{-2}}}{1+e^{v^{-2}}} \right)\,dv=-\frac{1}{x}\,dx\)

Now observing that:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dv}\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)=-2v^{-3}e^{v^{-2}}\)

we may integrate as follows:

\(\displaystyle \ln|v|-\ln\left(1+e^{v^{-2}} \right)=-\ln|x|+C\)

Back-substituting for $v$, we obtain:

\(\displaystyle \ln\left|\frac{y}{x} \right|-\ln\left(1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2} \right)=-\ln|x|+C\)

Adding \(\displaystyle \ln|x|\) to both sides, we obtain:

\(\displaystyle \ln|y|-\ln\left(1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2} \right)=C\)

Using a property of logs, we may rewrite the left side as:

\(\displaystyle \ln\left|\frac{y}{1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}} \right|=C\)

Converting from logarithmic to exponential form, we find:

\(\displaystyle \left|\frac{y}{1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}} \right|=e^{C}\)

If we redefine the constant on the right as any positive value (since $y\ne0$), we have:

\(\displaystyle \left|\frac{y}{1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}} \right|=C\) where \(\displaystyle 0<C\)

Now, if we redefine the constant again as any real value except zero, we may write:

\(\displaystyle \frac{y}{1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2}}=C\) where \(\displaystyle C\ne0\)

And if we so choose, we may arrange this as the implicit solution:

\(\displaystyle y=C\left(1+e^{\left(\frac{x}{y} \right)^2} \right)\)
 

FAQ: Non-linear first order differential equation question

What is a non-linear first order differential equation?

A non-linear first order differential equation is a mathematical equation that involves an unknown function and its first derivative, where the function is not a linear combination of itself and its derivatives. This means that the equation cannot be solved using simple algebraic methods and often requires advanced techniques.

What are some examples of non-linear first order differential equations?

Examples of non-linear first order differential equations include the logistic equation, the Lotka-Volterra equations, and the Black-Scholes equation. These equations have applications in biology, economics, and finance, respectively.

How are non-linear first order differential equations different from linear first order differential equations?

In a linear first order differential equation, the unknown function and its derivatives appear in a linear form, meaning that the equation can be solved using simple algebraic methods. Non-linear equations, on the other hand, involve the function and its derivatives in a non-linear form, making them more difficult to solve analytically.

What are some common methods for solving non-linear first order differential equations?

Some common methods for solving non-linear first order differential equations include separation of variables, substitution, and using a power series expansion. Numerical methods, such as Euler's method and the Runge-Kutta method, can also be used to approximate solutions to non-linear equations.

What are some real-world applications of non-linear first order differential equations?

Non-linear first order differential equations are used to model a wide range of phenomena in fields such as physics, biology, chemistry, economics, and engineering. For example, they can be used to model population growth, chemical reactions, and the dynamics of financial markets.
