How to solve differential equation that contains an integral term

112 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to find an analytical solution for the following differential equation that contains an integral term:

\begin{align} \frac{d{v}_p(t)}{dt} &= \alpha + \beta\frac{d{v}_f(t)}{dt} + \gamma\frac{d}{dt}\big({v}_p(t)-{v}_f(t)\big) + \label{eq:force_eq} \\ &+ \mu \big( {v}_p(t)-{v}_f(t) \big)^2 + \nu \int_{0}^{t}\frac{\frac{d}{d\tau}({v}_p(\tau)-{v}_f(\tau))}{\sqrt{(t-\tau)}} d\tau \nonumber \end{align} Where $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \mu$ and $\nu$ are constant and the funcions $v_f(t)$ and $dv_f(t)/dt$ are known $\big($you might assume $v_f(t) = v_{0} cos(\omega t)\big)$. I want to solve this equation for $v_p(t)$. Anyone can help me with this?
