Solution of a differential equation

Solution of a differential equation

It is f(x,y, c1, c2,..cn) which does not involve derivatives and the derivatives of f(x,y,c1,c2...cn) satisify the differential equation.

General solution

It contains as many arbitrary costants as the order of the differential equation.

Particular solution

The arbitrary constants in the general solution are given particular values and the solution so obtained is the particular solution.
