Alternative integration procedure for scale-invariant ordinary differential equations

For an ordinary differential equation invariant under a one-parameter group of scale transformations x→λx, y→λαy, y′→λα−1y′, y″→λα−2y″, etc., it is shown by example that an explicit analytical general solution may be obtainable in parametric form in terms of the scale-invariant variable ξ=∫xy−1/αdx....
