Abstract

A new method for solving the Abel equation of the second kind yy′= F1(x)y+ F0(x) using functional transformations of the form y=f(ξ(z(x))) is presented. It is important to say that the method depends on the possibility of finding ξ. The method is illustrated for the cases f(ξ)=aξ1 2 and f(ξ)= eaξ. Finally, the case F(ξ)=ξ, where the necessity and difficulty of finding ξ becomes explicit, is analyzed.
