xy'=yln(xy)
xdy=yln(xy)dx
\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{ln(xy)dx}{x}

Substitution:

v=ln(xy)
dv = \frac{dy}{y}-\frac{dx}{x}
dv-\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{vdx}{x}

∫\frac{dv}{v+1}=∫\frac{dx}{x}

ln(v+1)=ln x + C

v+1 = Cx
ln(xy) +1 = Cx

Would that basically be the complete answer?

It might be interesting to solve this last equation for y=... and verify the answer with the initial equation.
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order. I...
Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
