Abel equation of the first kind

In mathematics, an Abel equation of the first kind, named after Niels Henrik Abel, is any ordinary differential equation that is cubic in the unknown function. In other words, it is an equation of the form

y'=f_{3}(x)y^{3}+f_{2}(x)y^{2}+f_{1}(x)y+f_{0}(x)\,

where $f_{3}(x)\neq 0$ . If $f_{3}(x)=0$ and $f_{0}(x)=0$ , or $f_{2}(x)=0$ and $f_{0}(x)=0$ , the equation reduces to a Bernoulli equation, while if $f_{3}(x)=0$ the equation reduces to a Riccati equation.

Properties

The substitution $y={\dfrac {1}{u}}$ brings the Abel equation of the first kind to the "Abel equation of the second kind" of the form

uu'=-f_{0}(x)u^{3}-f_{1}(x)u^{2}-f_{2}(x)u-f_{3}(x).\,

The substitution

{\begin{aligned}\xi &=\int f_{3}(x)E^{2}~dx,\\[6pt]u&=\left(y+{\dfrac {f_{2}(x)}{3f_{3}(x)}}\right)E^{-1},\\[6pt]E&=\exp \left(\int \left(f_{1}(x)-{\frac {f_{2}^{2}(x)}{3f_{3}(x)}}\right)~dx\right)\end{aligned}}

brings the Abel equation of the first kind to the canonical form

u'=u^{3}+\phi (\xi ).\,

Dimitrios E. Panayotounakos and Theodoros I. Zarmpoutis discovered an analytic method to solve the above equation generally.[1]

gollark: Yes, electron bad.

gollark: You can also try and package everything into one megaquery, but that is bad and you shouldn't do it.

gollark: That is true.

gollark: > yes, but sql queries are very fast and well-optimised for that reasonIt's quite easy to foolishly run them sequentially, and then you have to deal with a ton of latency from connecting to your database.

gollark: Although what you can do nowadays is package it as a webview thing (not electron, there are saner things to use the system webview like this: https://crates.io/crates/web_view) and have a bit of native code for the out-of-sandbox parts. Although you drop some nice things that way.
