Maxima’s ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver ode2 solves
elementary linear ODEs of first and second order. The function
contrib_ode extends ode2 with additional methods for linear and
non-linear first order ODEs and linear homogeneous second order ODEs. The code
is still under development and the calling sequence may change in future
releases. Once the code has stabilized it may be moved from the contrib
directory and integrated into Maxima.
This package must be loaded with the command load("contrib_ode")
before use.
The calling convention for contrib_ode is identical to ode2. It
takes three arguments: an ODE (only the left hand side need be given if the
right hand side is 0), the dependent variable, and the independent variable.
When successful, it returns a list of solutions.
The form of the solution differs from ode2. As non-linear equations can
have multiple solutions, contrib_ode returns a list of solutions. Each
solution can have a number of forms:
%t, or
%u.
%c is used to represent the constant of integration for first order
equations. %k1 and %k2 are the constants for second order
equations. If contrib_ode cannot obtain a solution for whatever reason,
it returns false, after perhaps printing out an error message.
It is necessary to return a list of solutions, as even first order non-linear ODEs can have multiple solutions. For example:
(%i1) load("contrib_ode")$
(%i2) eqn:x*'diff(y,x)^2-(1+x*y)*'diff(y,x)+y=0;
dy 2 dy
(%o2) x (--) - (x y + 1) -- + y = 0

Nonlinear ODEs can have singular solutions without constants of integration, as in the second solution of the following example:
(%i1) load("contrib_ode")$
(%i2) eqn:'diff(y,x)^2+x*'diff(y,x)-y=0;
dy 2 dy

The following ODE has two parametric solutions in terms of the dummy
variable %t. In this case the parametric solutions can be manipulated
to give explicit solutions.

The following example (Kamke 1.112) demonstrates an implicit solution.
(%i1) load("contrib_ode")$
(%i2) assume(x>0,y>0);
(%o2) [x > 0, y > 0]
(%i3) eqn:x*'diff(y,x)-x*sqrt(y^2+x^2)-y;

The following Riccati equation is transformed into a linear second order ODE in
the variable %u. Maxima is unable to solve the new ODE, so it is
returned unevaluated.

For first order ODEs contrib_ode calls ode2. It then tries the
following methods: factorization, Clairault, Lagrange, Riccati, Abel and Lie
symmetry methods. The Lie method is not attempted on Abel equations if the Abel
method fails, but it is tried if the Riccati method returns an unsolved second
order ODE.
For second order ODEs contrib_ode calls ode2 then odelin.
Extensive debugging traces and messages are displayed if the command
put('contrib_ode,true,'verbose) is executed.

Returns a list of solutions of the ODE eqn with independent variable x and dependent variable y.
odelin solves linear homogeneous ODEs of first and second order with
independent variable x and dependent variable y. It returns a
fundamental solution set of the ODE.
For second order ODEs, odelin uses a method, due to Bronstein and
Lafaille, that searches for solutions in terms of given special functions.

The variable method is set to the successful solution method.
%c is the integration constant for first order ODEs.
%k1 is the first integration constant for second order ODEs.
%k2 is the second integration constant for second order ODEs.
gauss_a(a,b,c,x) and gauss_b(a,b,c,x) are 2F1 geometric functions.
They represent any two independent solutions of the hypergeometric differential
equation x(1-x) diff(y,x,2) + [c-(a+b+1)x diff(y,x) - aby = 0
(A&S 15.5.1).
The only use of these functions is in solutions of ODEs returned by
odelin and contrib_ode. The definition and use of these
functions may change in future releases of Maxima.

These routines are work in progress. I still need to:
ode1_factor to work for multiple roots.
ode1_factor to attempt to solve higher
order factors. At present it only attemps to solve linear factors.
ode1_lagrange to prefer real roots over
complex roots.
ode1_lie. There are quite a
few problems with it: some parts are unimplemented; some test cases
seem to run forever; other test cases crash; yet others return very
complex "solutions". I wonder if it really ready for release yet.

The routines have been tested on a approximately one thousand test cases from Murphy, Kamke, Zwillinger and elsewhere. These are included in the tests subdirectory.
ode1_clairault finds all known solutions,
including singular solutions, of the Clairault equations in Murphy and
Kamke.
ode1_lie are overly complex and
impossible to check.
