Homogeneous differential equations

 EXAMPLE:
Remarks:
 A homogeneous differential equation
has several distinct meanings:
A first-order ordinary differential equation of
the form is of the type of homogeneous
equation.

A homogeneous differential equation,


defined in Chapter 1, means that the
differential equation has zero as a solution.
 A homogeneous equation can be converted
to a variable separable equation using a
transformation of variables.

 Let be the new dependent variable, while


x is still the independent variable.

 Combining the equation will result to:


 The transformed differential equation is
variable separable. Integrating both sides
gives the general solution
