Maybe I'm just dumb...

[tex] y'(t)=y(t)^3+f(t)[/tex]

find [tex]y(t)[/tex]

Thanks...

Welcome bpcrai.
Try substituting z =1/y^2 if permissible. If the magnitude of z is large in the range, we can neglect a constant & separate the variables.

P.S. : I'm afraid everybody's dumb at solving nonlinear differential equations. ;)
