Hello,

I was trying to solve this nonlinear ODE using dsolve:

ode:=(diff(f,x)*diff(g,y)=1): dsolve(ode);

but got: Error, (in ODEtools/info) R equired a specification of the indeterminate function

 

I'm not sure what Maple means by "indeterminate function" .. does that mean I need an explicit function for g(y)??

I would assume that Maple would be able to do this without knowing g(y) since one solution is (1/n)*f(x) + n*g(y).

Thank you.
