Abel_equation_of_the_first_kind Knowpia

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 edit

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 in an implicit form.^[1]
