The real logarithm requires . The identically zero function is a solution and must be retained before dividing by . For a nonzero solution, divide by and make the Bernoulli differential equation substitution . This givesIntegration yields . Consequentlywith each nonzero branch restricted to an interval where its denominator is nonzero. The right-hand side of the first-order equation is locally Lipschitz in for , so a nonzero solution cannot cross the zero solution at a finite positive .
