The nonlinear differential equation xx1x2 arises in the anal
The nonlinear differential equation x”+x=1+x2 arises in the analysis of planetary motion using relativity theory. Classify (if possible) all critical points of the corresponding plane autonomous systems.
Solution
Here the Differential Equation is given by
d2y/dx2 + x = 1 + 2ex
Implies d/dx(dy/dx) + x = 1 + 2ex
Integrating both sides, we get
dy/dx + x2/2 = x + 2ex +C1
Integarting again, we get
y + x3/6 = x2/2 + 2ex +C1 x +C2
