Solve

\begin{align*} y^{\prime }-y^{2}-x -x^{2}&=0 \\ \end{align*}

In canonical form the ODE is

\begin{align*} y' &= F(x,y)\\ &= x^{2}+y^{2}+x \end{align*}

This is a Riccati ODE. Comparing the ODE to solve

\[ y' = x^{2}+y^{2}+x \]

With Riccati ODE standard form

\[ y' = f_0(x)+ f_1(x)y+f_2(x)y^{2} \]

Shows that \(f_0(x)=x^{2}+x\), \(f_1(x)=0\) and \(f_2(x)=1\). Let

\begin{align*} y &= \frac {-u'}{f_2 u} \\ &= \frac {-u'}{u} \tag {1} \end{align*}

Using the above substitution in the given ODE results (after some simplification) in a second order ODE to solve for \(u(x)\) which is

\begin{align*} f_2 u''(x) -\left ( f_2' + f_1 f_2 \right ) u'(x) + f_2^2 f_0 u(x) &= 0 \tag {2} \end{align*}

But

\begin{align*} f_2' &=0\\ f_1 f_2 &=0\\ f_2^2 f_0 &=x^{2}+x \end{align*}

Substituting the above terms back in equation (2) gives

\[ u^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right )+\left (x^{2}+x \right ) u \left (x \right ) = 0 \]

Unable to solve. Will ask Maple to solve this ode now.

The solution for \(u \left (x \right )\) is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} u \left (x \right ) = c_1 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+c_2 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}} \end{equation}

Taking derivative gives

\begin{equation} \tag{4} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = \left (\frac {1}{8}+\frac {i}{2}\right ) c_1 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {5}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+c_1 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (-\frac {i \left (x +1\right )}{2}-\frac {i x}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+\left (\frac {1}{24}+\frac {i}{2}\right ) c_2 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {7}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {5}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right )^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+2 c_2 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+c_2 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) \left (-\frac {i \left (x +1\right )}{2}-\frac {i x}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}} \end{equation}

Substituting equations (3,4) into (1) results in

\begin{align*} y &= \frac {-u'}{f_2 u} \\ y &= \frac {-u'}{u} \\ y &= \frac {2 c_2 \left (i x^{2}+i x -1+\frac {1}{4} i\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+2 \left (\left (-\frac {1}{12}-i\right ) c_2 \left (x +\frac {1}{2}\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {7}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {5}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+\frac {\left (\left (-\frac {1}{4}-i\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {5}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+i \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )\right ) c_1}{2}\right ) \left (x +\frac {1}{2}\right )}{\left (2 x +1\right ) c_2 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+c_1 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )} \\ \end{align*}

Doing change of constants, the above solution becomes

\[ y = -\frac {\left (\frac {1}{8}+\frac {i}{2}\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {5}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+\operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (-\frac {i \left (x +1\right )}{2}-\frac {i x}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+\left (\frac {1}{24}+\frac {i}{2}\right ) c_3 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {7}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {5}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right )^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+2 c_3 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+c_3 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) \left (-\frac {i \left (x +1\right )}{2}-\frac {i x}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}}{\operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}+c_3 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right ) \left (2 x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {i x \left (x +1\right )}{2}}} \]

Simplifying the above gives

\begin{align*} y &= \frac {2 c_3 \left (i x^{2}+i x -1+\frac {1}{4} i\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+2 \left (\left (-\frac {1}{12}-i\right ) c_3 \left (x +\frac {1}{2}\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {7}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {5}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+\left (-\frac {1}{8}-\frac {i}{2}\right ) \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {5}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+\frac {i \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )}{2}\right ) \left (x +\frac {1}{2}\right )}{\left (2 x +1\right ) c_3 \operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {3}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {3}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )+\operatorname {hypergeom}\left (\left [\frac {1}{4}-\frac {i}{16}\right ], \left [\frac {1}{2}\right ], \frac {i \left (2 x +1\right )^{2}}{4}\right )} \\ \end{align*}
