Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding an analytic solution to a nonlinear differential equation presented by a participant. The equation involves a transformation to simplify the original form, and participants are exploring the potential for solutions and the nature of the equation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a nonlinear differential equation and a transformation to simplify it, seeking an analytic solution.
  • Another participant suggests a modification to the transformed equation, indicating a potential oversight in the original formulation.
  • A different participant asserts that the equation does not fit the criteria for a Bernoulli differential equation.
  • One participant expresses a desire for a more sophisticated solution than what has been proposed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the correct formulation of the differential equation or its solvability, indicating multiple competing views and unresolved issues.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of missing assumptions regarding the nature of the differential equation and its classification, as well as unresolved steps in the proposed transformations.

Hi all,

I have a nonlinear differential equation and I need to find an analytic solution for it. Here it is:

[tex]\ddot{S}=-{1 \over 6} \dot{S}-{2 \over 7}(1-S)^2(- \dot{S})^{1.3}[/tex]

I have used a transformation to simplify it:

[tex]-\dot S = v[/tex]

and came up with this DE which I couldn't solve it:

[tex]{{dv} \over {dS}} ={1 \over 6} - {2 \over 7} (1-S)^2 v ^ {0.3}[/tex]

Anyone who can solve them?

Bests,

Ali

shouldnt you have

[tex]{{dv} \over {dS}} ={1 \over 6}v - {2 \over 7} (1-S)^2 v ^ {0.3}[/tex]
 
Unfortunately not. It's not a Bernoulli? DE.

[tex]S(t)=k[/tex]
 
a bit more sophisticated solution, please!
