• The Bernoulli differential equation is
an equation of the form
• y'+ p(x) y = q(x) . y^ n
• This is a non-linear differential
equation that can be reduced to
a linear one by a clever substitution.
The new equation is a first order linear
differential equation, and can be solved
explicitly. The Bernoulli equation was
one of the first differential equations to
be solved, and is still one of very few
non-linear differential equations that
can be solved explicitly. Most other such
equations either have no solutions, or
solutions that cannot be written in a
closed form, but the Bernoulli equation
is an exception.
