Theorem
If the functions y1 and y2 are solutions to the homogeneous linear
equation
y 00 + a1 (t) y 0 + a0 (t) y = 0,

then the linear combination c1 y1 (t) + c2 y2 (t) is also a solution for
any constants c1 , c2 R.

Find the y solution of the second order nonlinear equation
y 00 = 2t (y 0 )2 with initial conditions y (0) = 2, y 0 (0) = 1.
Solution: Introduce v = y 0 . Then v 0 = y 00 , and

Theorem
Consider a second order differential equation y 00 = f (y , y 0 ), and
introduce the function v (t) = y 0 (t). If the function y is invertible,
then the new function v (y ) = v (t(y )) satisfies the first order
differential equation
