First Order Non-Linear Ordinary D.E.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the first-order non-linear ordinary differential equation (ODE) given by the expression (x*y*sqrt(x^2-y^2) + x)*y' = (y - x^2*(sqrt(x^2-y^2))). Participants identified issues with missing parentheses that altered the equation's interpretation. A substitution method using \(v=\frac{y}{x}\) was suggested, but it was noted that even advanced tools like WolframAlpha and WolframMathematica struggle to solve this ODE in closed form. An alternative solution was provided using Maple, yielding the result $\arctan \left( {\dfrac {y }{\sqrt {{x}^{2}- y ^{2}}}} \right) +\dfrac{1}{2}\left(y^2+{x}^{2}\right)=c_1$.

Hello people,

I couldn't solve the given D.E by using exact d.e & substitution method :(

Thanks in advance.

(x*y*sqrt(x^2-y^2) + x)*y' = (y - x^2*(sqrt(x^2-y^2) )

gif file of d.e can be found in the attachments part.

Hi dearcomp, :)

Use the substitution, \(v=\frac{y}{x}\). The final answer is given >>here<<.

Hi dearcomp, welcome to MHB! :)

Can you verify that you have given the proper DE?
There is at least 1 typo with a missing parenthesis.

In Sudharaka's solution there is another missing parenthesis, meaning a different DE was solved.
 
Re: First Order Non Linear Ordinary D.E.

Yes Sudharaka solved a different D.E

This is the exact problem with the corrected parantheses..

(x*y*sqrt(x^2-y^2) + x)*y' = (y - x^2*(sqrt(x^2-y^2)))

Thank you in advance

In that case I'm afraid I can't help you.
It looks like the type of DE that monster Wolfram would be able to solve if humanly possible.
But Wolfram can't, or at least not in closed form.
Of course a numerical approximation is still possible.

Do you have a context for the problem?
Are there perhaps hints, suggestions, or is there specific course material that relates to the DE?

Indeed, even wolfram can't handle this problem.
I'm trying to use WolframMathematica but I can not make it understand the question because I'm not familiar with it...

There are no hints, suggestions related to the question :(

Yes indeed it has missing parenthesis and I typed it incorrectly in Wolfram. Sorry about that.

I am not sure how we can solve this in the general case, but notice that \(y=x\) is a particular solution of this equation. Now at least you have one solution. :p
 
Re: First Order Non Linear Ordinary D.E.

Maple solved the problem giving

$\arctan \left( {\dfrac {y }{\sqrt {{x}^{2}-
y ^{2}}}} \right) +\dfrac{1}{2}\left(y^2+{x}^{2}\right)=c_1$

The way I would go about trying to solve this is the following. Expand your ODE and regroup according to the $\sqrt{x^2-y^2}$ So

$x \sqrt{x^2-y^2} (y y' + x) + xy' - y = 0$

or

$y y' + x + \dfrac{xy'-y}{x \sqrt{x^2-y^2}} = 0$

$y y' + x + \dfrac{xy'-y}{x^2 \sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)^2}} = 0$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{d}{dx} \left( x^2+y^2 \right) + \dfrac{\dfrac{d}{dx} \left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}{ \sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)^2}} = 0$.

Now each piece can be integrated separately.
