hello
I want to find exact solution of a nonlinear ode with its boundary conditions . the equation
and its b.cs are written below :

a*y''''+y''' y -y'' y' = 0 y(h/2)=V1 , y(-h/2)=V2 , y'(h/2)=0 , y'(-h/2)=0

where V1 , V2 , a and h are constant .

although with integerating from above equation , the order of ode reduce to 3 but the problem is until unsolveable .

after integrating from above equation we have : a y''' +y'' y -y'^2 =C
where C is constant .

In general, you won't be able to find exact solutions to non-linear diff.eqs; you'll need to solve it numerically.
 
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...
