Exact analytic solutions of unsolvable classes of first- and second-order nonlinear ODEs (Part II: Emden–Fowler and relative equations)

Abstract: Both Emden-Fowler and generalized Emden-Fowler nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are reduced to Abel's equation of the second kind by means of admissible functional transformations. Since in Part I a mathematical technique is developed leading to the construction of exact analytic solutions of the above Abel equation, it follows that the Emden-Fowler equations admit exact analytic solutions too. In this sense several basic particular nonlinear ODEs in mathematical physics are examined.

“…For example, Panayotounakos and Sotiropoulos [7] determined the exact solution for both the Lane-Emden and generalized Emden-Fowler type equations by reducing them to the Abel s equation of the second kind by means of admissible functional transformations. The approximate solutions of equation (3) were presented by Shawagfeh [3] using the Adomian decomposition method [6].…”

“…Abel Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) of the second kind [1], (1) [b 0 (t) + b 1 (t)x]ẋ = a 0 (t) + a 1 (t)x + a 2 (t)x 2 , a i (t), b i (t) ∈ C([0, T ]), can be regarded as a generalization of Riccati's equation [1]. This family of equations deserves special interest in the applied mathematics field because it appears in different contexts, running from control problems [2] to mathematical physics and nonlinear mechanics issues [1,3]. It is also remarkable that a class of Abel equations of the first kind [1] can be written as (1) with the change of variables x → x −1 .…”

“…In the same vein as in [2,[25][26][27]29,31] we shall use, in the first part of the present section, an admissible functional transformation to reduce problem (1), (2) to an Abel equation, with one parameter, and give some connections between the present problem and some problems in boundary-layer equations.…”
