Calling Sequence

IntegratingFactor(ODE, y(x))

Parameters

ODE

-

an ordinary differential equation

y

-

name; the dependent variable

x

-

name; the independent variable

Description

• 

IntegratingFactor(ODE, y(x)) attempts to find an integrating factor for an ODE.

• 

Multiplying by the integrating factor makes the ODE exact, that is, a total derivative with respect to x. The new equation can then be solved by simply integrating with respect to x.
