Bernoulli differential equation


In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation of the form:

is called a Bernoulli differential equation where is any real number and and . It is named after Jacob Bernoulli who discussed it in 1695. Bernoulli equations are special because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. A famous special case of the Bernoulli equation is the logistic differential equation.

Note that for and , the Bernoulli equation is linear. For and , the substitution reduces any Bernoulli equation to a linear differential equation. For example:
