Diffrential equations, integration factor with two vars

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a condition for an integrating factor of the form K(xy) for the differential equation M(x,y)dx + N(x,y)dy = 0. The user attempts to derive this condition by differentiating the product of K(xy) with M(x,y) and N(x,y). The necessary condition for the equation to be exact is established as (K(xy)M(x,y))_y = (K(xy)N(x,y))_x, leading to the equation xK'(xy)M(x,y) + K(xy)M_y(x,y) = yK'(xy)N(x,y) + K(xy)N_x(x,y).

1. I need to find a condition that the equation will have a integration factor from the shape K(x*y).
(K-integration factor sign)


2.the eq from the shape M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0 ,not have to be exact!3. i tried to open from the basics. d(k(x*y)M(x,y))/dy=d((k(x*y)N(x,y))/dx.
and i used the fact that d(k(x,y))/dy is x (exc. for dx)/

im hoping i was clear enough , thanks and sorry for my bad english.

well, normally an integration factor will be of the form ##e^{\int P(x)}##
I'm confused by your notation, it seems as though you're setting up an exact function, or maybe that's what you're saying in 2: it's not an exact function?

"the equation" -- What equation?

It's not clear to me at all. What is the equation you're trying to solve?
 
@barak: Perhaps this link will help you:

The initial equation is M(x,y)dx+ N(x,y)dy= 0 and you multiply by k(xy) where k is some function of a single variable: k(xy)M(x, y)dx+ k(xy)N(x,y)dy= 0.
In order that this be "exact" we must have (k(xy)M(x, y))_y= (k(xy)N(x, y))_x.

xk'(xy)M(x,y)+ k(xy)M_y(x, y)= yk'(x,y)N(x,y)+ k(xy)N_x(x,y)

(xM(x,y)- yN(x,y))k'(xy)= k(xy)(N_x(x,y)- M_y(x,y)
 
thanks a lot guys u all helped me
