Member warned about posting a question so scant on details
Hello every one,
I have an equation related to my research. I wonder if anyone has any suggestion about solving it?
y''+y' f(y)+g(y)=h(x)

thanks

Thank you but my case is with non constant coefficient!

Can you give us more details about your equation. What you have written is a very general 2nd order nonlinear equation. The solution (if one exists) strongly depends on the form of f(y), g(y), and h(x). There are numerous analytical and numerical techniques that can help you find an exact or approximate solution. However, some techniques will work better than others, and the choice of which techniques to try strongly depends of f, g, and h.

Also is your equation really the nonlinear equation y'' + y' f\left(y\right) + g\left(y\right) = h\left(x\right) where f and g both depend on y, or is it a linear equation of the form y'' + y' f\left(x\right) + g\left(x\right) = h\left(x\right) where f and g depend on x?

there is no sense to speak "nonhomogeneous" about a nonlinear equation. Generally, such a type equation is not integrated explicitly. So it remains qualitative analysis or numerical analysis depending on what exactly you need from this equation
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
