[[_homogeneous, `class D`]]
Where \(b\) is scalar and \(g\left ( x\right ) \) is function of \(x\) and \(n,m\) are integers. The
solution is given in Kamke page 20. Using the substitution \(y\left ( x\right ) =u\left ( x\right ) x\) then
The above ode is always separable. This is easily solved for \(u\) assuming the integration can be
resolved, and then the solution to the original ode becomes \(y=ux\). Comapring the given ode (A) with
the form (1) shows that
\begin{align*} g \left (x \right )&=2 x^{2}\\ b&=1\\ f \left (\frac {b x}{y}\right )&=\sin \left (\frac {y}{x}\right ) \end{align*}
Substituting the above in (2) results in the \(u(x)\) ode as
\begin{align*} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = 2 x \sin \left (u \left (x \right )\right )^{2} \end{align*}
Which is now solved as separable Converting \(-\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right ) = x^{2}+c_1\) back to \(y\) gives
\[
-\cot \left (u \left (x \right )\right )=x^{2}+c_1
\]
We now need to find the singular solutions, these are found by finding
for what values \(g(u)\) is zero, since we had to divide by this above. Solving \(g(u)=0\) or
\[
\sin \left (u \right )^{2}=0
\]
for \(u \left (x \right )\) gives
\begin{align*} u \left (x \right )&=0 \end{align*}
Now we go over each such singular solution and check if it verifies the ode itself and any initial
conditions given. If it does not then the singular solution will not be used.
\[
y = \left (\frac {\pi }{2}+\arctan \left (x^{2}+2 c_1 \right )\right ) x
\]
