Solve differential equation $xyy'=x^4+y^4$












3












$begingroup$


How to find general solution to this differential equation (if it exists):
$$ xyy'=x^4+y^4 ?$$
I do not know how to even approach it since I never dealt with nonlinear equations. Only thing that I notice is that $x$ and $y$ are symetric in equation: $$ y'=dfrac{x^4+y^4}{xy}$$
so I expect (maybe) some kind of symetric function for y(x).



Thanks for any help.

    Try an indefinite integral on both sides of the equation. It still won't be easy but there are tools to help. Good luck

    @poetasis In the link you sent there is step where $y$ is taken out of integral, why is that posible if $y$ itself is function of $x$?

    I didn't do the calculation; the tool did and it's been 40 years since I got my degree so I'm rusty on this stuff. I wish I could help you more.

    Couple of comments: 1. It isn't actually symmetric, as you can see by rearranging into differential form: $(x^4+y^4),dx-xy,dy=0.$ 2. The solution, if it exists, must have positive slope in the first and third quadrants, and negative slope in the second and fourth quadrants.

Observing that $y y' = left(frac{1}{2}y^2right)'$ we define the new dependent variable $z := frac{1}{2} y^2$, $y^4 = 4 z^2$. We then obtain a Riccati equation for $z$: $z' = x^3 + frac{4}{x} z^2$.
This Riccati equation (like any Riccati equation) can be reduced to a second-order linear ordinary differential equation by writing
begin{equation}
z = - frac{x}{4} frac{u'}{u}, quad z^2 = frac{x^2}{16} frac{(u')^2}{u^2}, quad z' = - frac{1}{4} frac{u'}{u} - frac{x}{4} frac{u'' u - (u')^2}{u^2},
end{equation}

which yields $x^2 u'' + x u' + 4 x^4 u = 0$. With the definition of a new independent variable
begin{equation}
xi := x^2, quad frac{d}{dx} = 2 xi^{1/2} frac{d}{dxi}, quad frac{d^2}{dx^2} = 2 frac{d}{dxi} + 4 xi frac{d^2}{dxi^2},
end{equation}

we obtain the Bessel differential equation
begin{equation}
xi^2 frac{d^2 u}{d xi^2} + xi frac{d u}{dxi} + xi^2 u = 0,
end{equation}

with fundamental solutions $J_0(xi)$, $Y_0(xi)$ (zeroth-order Bessel functions).
