Problem

Find the form of the solutions of the equation dydxd3ydx3−2(d2ydx2)2+(dydx)2=0\frac{dy}{dx}\frac{d^3y}{dx^3} - 2\left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = 0 that have y(0)=∞y(0) = \infty. [You will need the result ∫zcosech⁡u du=−ln⁡(cosech⁡z+coth⁡z)\int^z \operatorname{cosech} u\, du = -\ln(\operatorname{cosech} z + \coth z).]
