Homework Statement



Solve the diferential equation: dx/dt + Rx^2 + G = 0

G constant = 10^18
R constant = 10^-10

Initial conditions x(0) = 10^8

Homework Equations



what approach to take?

The Attempt at a Solution



First I try to apply bernoulli, but since in this equation I do not have a term x and since also the constat G is different to cero, it was not possible.

Secondly I try to solve in the frequency domain, and using laplace transformation I obtain:

Xs = 2R/s^2 + sx(0) + G

But then, things get complicate trying to convert to time domain for the second and first term becouse the first one implies a delta function in t = 0 and the second one implies a derivations of the inverse transfor of x(0), that is again an impulse sus the derivative of the impulse.

Thank you in advance for taking your time to help me.

That equation is separable.
 
As vela said, the equation separable:

Write it as
\frac{dx}{Rx^2+ G}= dt
and integrate both sides.

It might help to factor the "G" out leaving
\frac{1}{G}\frac{dx}{\frac{R}{G}x^2+ 1}= dt
and recognize the integral as an "arctangent".
 
Thank you done.

Sory for wasting your time, I should try harder before asking.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
