Elementary differential equations: Please give a proof of the trick

77 Views Asked by At

Here is a statement (or theorem) from my book:

$\pmb{\text{A neat trick: Turning nonlinear separable equations into linear separable equations}}$

$\mathcal{\text{Knowing when to substitute:}}$

You can use the trick of setting $y=xv$ when you have differential equation that is of the form:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=f(x,y)$

when $f(x,y)=f(tx,ty)$ where $t$ is a constant.

I understand this. But the book gives no proof. I mean how can we ensure that the trick of setting $y=xv$ will always work whenever $f(x,y)=f(tx,ty)$

Just plug $y=xv$ in the equation.

$$\frac{d(xv)}{dx}=x\frac{dv}{dx}+v=f(x,xv)$$

and

$$\frac{dv}{f(1,v)-v}=\frac{dx}x.$$


Alternatively,

$$f(tx,ty)=f(x,y)\iff f(x,y)=g\left(\frac yx\right)=g(v)$$ and the equation is

$$xv'+v=g(v).$$
