Solving Clairaut ODEs
|
Description
|
|
•
|
The general form of Clairaut's ODE is given by:
|
>
|
Clairaut_ode := y(x)=x*diff(y(x),x)+g(diff(y(x),x));
|
| (1) |
|
where g is an arbitrary function of dy/dx. See Differentialgleichungen, by E. Kamke, p. 31. This type of equation always has a linear solution:

It is also worth mentioning that singular nonlinear solutions can be obtained by looking for a solution in parametric form. For more information, see odeadvisor/parametric.
