A few nonlinear differential equations have known exact solutions, but many which are important in applications do not. Sometimes these equations may be linearized by an expansion process in which nonlinear terms are discarded. When nonlinear

www-users.cse.umn.edu › ~olver › ln_equation. Before analyzing the solutions to the nonlinear population model, let us make a pre-liminary change of variables, and set u(t) = N(t)/N⋆, so that u represents the size of the population in proportion to the carrying capacity N⋆. A straightforward computation shows that u(t) satisfies the so-called logistic differential equation ...
