Solve the follow diferential equation

  • Thread starter alejandrito29
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about solving a differential equation with the form (\frac{du}{dy})^2=A+Be^{2u}+C \sqrt{D+Ee^{4u}} where A,B,C,D,E are nonzero. The question is for the purpose of the person's thesis and they have tried using Maple to solve it but only got an implicit solution. They ask if there is a way to find an explicit solution, and someone suggests using a substitution method.

i need to solve the follow diferential equation:

[tex](\frac{du}{dy})^2=A+Be^{2u}+C \sqrt{D+Ee^{4u}}[/tex]

where A,B,C,D,E are nonzero.

What is the context of the question? Is it for schoolwork?

Maple gives the following solution to your ODE (in implicit form)

[tex] \int_k^{u(y)}\frac{d\xi}{\sqrt{A+Be^{2\xi}+C\sqrt{D+Ee^{4\xi}}}}=\pm y,[/tex]

where k is an arbitrary constant.

obvious, separation variables, but

there is a way to find a explicit solution?

Try [tex]z=e^{2\zeta}[/tex], then [tex]z=\sqrt(D/E)Sinh(\theta)[/tex]. Maple manages to integrate that, but the resulting expression is nasty

[tex]2\zeta=ln(\sqrt(D/E)sinh(\theta))?[/tex]
