Homogeneous Differential Equation
•Adifferential equation containing a homogeneous function
is called a homogeneous differential equation.
•A differential equation of the form :
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
=
𝒇(𝒙,𝒚)
𝒈(𝒙,𝒚)
called homogeneous differential equation if f (x, y) and g(x, y)
are homogeneous functions

Homogeneous Differential Equation
•A differential equation of the form :
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
=
𝒇(𝒙,𝒚)
𝒈(𝒙,𝒚)
• Example :
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
=
𝒙𝟑+𝒚𝟑
𝟑𝒙𝟐𝒚
Separable Differential Equation
• A differential equation of the form :
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
=
𝒇(𝒙)
𝒈(𝒚)
or
• Example :
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
=
𝒙𝟑
𝒚𝟐
The homogeneous differential equation does not have a constant term within
the equation

Homogeneous Function
• Thefunction f(x, y) is called a homogeneous function if :
𝒇(λx, λy)=𝝀𝒏
𝒇(x, y), for any non zero constant λ.
• Example :Determine whether the function is homogeneous or not?
𝒇 𝒙, 𝒚 = 𝒙𝟑+𝒙𝟐y+𝒚𝟑
𝒇 λ𝒙, λ𝒚 = (λ𝒙)𝟑
+(λ𝒙)𝟐
(λ y)+(λ𝒚)𝟑
𝒇 λ𝒙, λ𝒚 = λ𝟑
(𝒙𝟑
+𝒙𝟐
y+𝒚𝟑
)
the function is homogeneous
𝒇 𝒙, 𝒚 = 𝒙𝒚+𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒙𝒚
𝒇 λ𝒙, λ𝒚 =(λx)(λy)+sin(λ𝟐xy)
𝒇 λ𝒙, λ𝒚 =λ𝟐xy+sin(λ𝟐xy)
the function is non -homogeneous
Homogeneous ODE
• Thedifferential equation may not be separable, but at the same time, it
can be converted into a separable equation using some transformations.
So, the homogeneous differential equation are is the one which can be
written in this form
