Exact solution of 2nd order nonlinear ode

207 Views Asked by At

I want to solve this ode $4a\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=y^2+(b+2s)y-sx,$ where $a,b,s$ are fixed constants. There is no initial condition given and I want exact solution. Even any trivial solution will work. Please help me out.

Hint:

$4a\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=y^2+(b+2s)y-sx$

$4a\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=y^2+(b+2s)y+\dfrac{(b+2s)^2}{4}-sx-\dfrac{(b+2s)^2}{4}$

$4a\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\left(y+s+\dfrac{b}{2}\right)^2-sx-\dfrac{(b+2s)^2}{4}$

Let $u=y+s+\dfrac{b}{2}$ ,

Then $\dfrac{du}{dx}=\dfrac{dy}{dx}$

$\dfrac{d^2u}{dx^2}=\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$

$\therefore4a\dfrac{d^2u}{dx^2}=u^2-sx-\dfrac{(b+2s)^2}{4}$

Let $t=x+\dfrac{(b+2s)^2}{4s}$ ,

Then $4a\dfrac{d^2u}{dt^2}=u^2-st$
