I'm trying to find an explicit solution $u(t)$ of $$ \dot{u} = \frac{\beta}{\sqrt{\alpha t}-u},\quad u(0)=0 $$ where $\alpha>0$ and $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ are given constants. I did not know how to solve it directly, so I tried to solve it numerically, but still I could not find a way to find an explicit solution.
Does anybody have idea to solve it. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Change variable to $y=\sqrt{\alpha t}-u$. This will give $$ \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{du}{dt}-\sqrt{\alpha}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}}. $$ The equation becomes $$ \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\beta}{y}-\sqrt{\alpha}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{t}}. $$ This equation can be solved by taking $y=C\sqrt{t}$ that gives $$ \frac{C}{2}-\frac{\beta}{C}=\frac{\sqrt{\alpha}}{2} $$ that determines $C$.
