ODE types reductible to the variables separable case


There are certain of non-linear ordinary differential equationsMathworldPlanetmath of first order (http://planetmath.org/ODE) which may by a suitable substitution be to a form where one can separate (http://planetmath.org/SeparationOfVariables) the variables.

I.  So-called homogeneous differential equation

This means the equation of the form

X(x,y)dx+Y(x,y)dy=0,

where X and Y are two homogeneous functions of the same degree (http://planetmath.org/HomogeneousFunction).  Therefore, if the equation is written as

dydx=-X(x,y)Y(x,y),

its right hand side is a homogeneous function of degree 0, i.e. it depends only on the ratio y:x, and has thus the form

dydx=f(yx).(1)

Accordingly, if this ratio is constant, then also dydx is constant; thus all lines   yx= constant  are isoclines of the family of the integral curves which intersect any such line isogonally.

We can infer as well, that if one integral curve is represented by  x=x(t),  y=y(t),  then also  x=Cx(t),  y=Cy(t)  an integral curve for any constant C.  Hence the integral curves are homotheticMathworldPlanetmath with respect to the origin; therefore some people call the equation (1) a similarity equation.

For generally solving the equation (1), make the substitution

yx:=t;y=tx;dydx=t+xdtdx.

The equation takes the form

t+xdtdx=f(t)(2)

which shows that any root (http://planetmath.org/Equation) tν of the equality  f(t)=t  gives a singular solution   y=tνx.The variables in (2) may be :

dxx=dtf(t)-t

Thus one obtains  ln|x|=dtf(t)-t+lnC, whence the general solution of the homogeneous differential equation (1) is in a parametric form

x=Cedtf(t)-t,y=Ctedtf(t)-t.

II.  Equation of the form  y= f(ax+by+c)

It’s a question of the equation

dydx=f(ax+by+c),(3)

where a, b and c are given constants.  If  ax+by is constant, then dydx is constant, and we see that the lines  ax+by= constant  are isoclines of the intgral curves of (3).

Let

ax+by+c:=u(4)

be a new variable.  It changes the equation (3) to

dudx=a+bf(u).(5)

Here, one can see that the real zeros u of the right hand side yield lines (4) which are integral curves of (3), and thus we have singular solutions.  Moreover, one can separate the variables in (5) and integrate, obtaining x as a function of u.  Using still (4) gives also y.  The general solution is

x=dua+bf(u)+C,y=1b(u-c-adua+bf(u)-aC).

Example.  In the nonlinear equation

dydx=(x-y)2,

which is of the type II, one cannot separate the variables x and y.  The substitution  x-y:=u  converts it to

dudx=1-u2,

where one can separate the variables.  Since the right hand side has the zeros  u=±1,  the given equation has the singular solutions y given by  x-y=±1.  Separating the variables x and u, one obtains

dx=du1-u2,

whence

x=du(1+u)(1-u)=12(11+u+11-u)𝑑u=12ln|1+u1-u|+C.

Accordingly, the given differential equation has the parametric solution

x=ln|1+u1-u|+C,y=ln|1+u1-u|-u+C.
