Solve the differential equation

In summary, the conversation is about solving the differential equation у*у^{\prime\prime}=2х*((у^{\prime})^2) by separating the variables and using the substitution x = r + 1/2 and y = e^s. The resulting equation becomes s"=2r(s')^2, which is separable and can be solved.

Put your code in dollar signs to have the LaTeX compile...

Is this your DE?

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} y\,\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} &= 2\,x\,\left( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \right) ^2 \end{align*}$

Yes, it is true.
What is solution this?

It's messy, but I believe you can separate the variables...

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} y\,\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} &= 2\,x\,\left( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \right) ^2 \\ \frac{1}{\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2} &= \frac{2\,x}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \\ \frac{1}{t}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}x} &= \frac{2\,x}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \textrm{ with } t = \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \\ \int{ \frac{1}{t}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}x} \,\mathrm{d}x } &= \int{ \frac{2\,x}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \,\mathrm{d}x} \\ \int{ \frac{1}{t}\,\mathrm{d}t} &= \int{ 2\,x\, \frac{1}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\,\mathrm{d}x} \\ \ln{ \left| t \right| } + C_1 &= \int{ 2\,x\,\frac{1}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \, \mathrm{d}x} \end{align*}$

For the RHS we use IBP with $\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = 2\,x \implies \mathrm{d}u = 2\,\mathrm{d}x \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \mathrm{d}v = \frac{1}{y}\,\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\,\mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{y}\,\mathrm{d}y \implies v = \ln{|y|} \end{align*}$ and we have

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \ln{ \left| t \right| } + C_1 &= 2\,x\ln{ \left| y \right| } - \int{ 2\ln{ \left| y \right| }\,\mathrm{d}x } \\ \ln{ \left| \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \right| } + C_1 &= 2\,x\ln{ \left| y \right| } - \int{ 2\ln{ \left| y \right| } \,\mathrm{d}x } \end{align*}$

I am unsure how to continue...

If you make the change of variables

\(\displaystyle x = r + 1/2,\;\;\; y = e^s\)

where \(\displaystyle s = s(r)\), your ODE becomes

\(\displaystyle s'' = 2 r s'^2\)

which now becomes separable. This should help you.

Thanks, but I got s"=2r. will try to resolve again.
 
  • #7
Sorry, you are right: s"=2r(s')^2
because y'=exp(s)s' and y"=exp(s)((s')^2+s")
Many thanks.
 

FAQ: Solve the differential equation

What is a differential equation?

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that relates a function with its derivatives. It describes the relationship between a function and its rate of change.

Why do we need to solve differential equations?

Differential equations are often used to model real-world phenomena and predict future behavior. By solving these equations, we can gain insights and make predictions about various systems and processes.

What is the process for solving a differential equation?

The process for solving a differential equation involves finding a function, called the solution, that satisfies the equation. This can be done analytically, using mathematical techniques, or numerically, using computers.

Are there different types of differential equations?

Yes, there are different types of differential equations, including ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and stochastic differential equations. Each type has its own methods for solving.
