A differential equation of the form
$$y=x\phi(y')+f(y'),$$
where $\phi$ and $f$ are the functions to be differentiated; first studied in 1748 by J. d'Alembert. Also known as the Lagrange equation.
Comments
For $\phi(y')=y'$ the d'Alembert equation specializes to the Clairaut equation. For some results on (solving) the d'Alembert equation cf., e.g., [a1].
