Abstract
The exact, explicit form of the transcendental solution of Chrystal’s equation, a first order nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) of degree two, is derived in terms of the Lambert W-function. It is shown that this case of the general solution is dual-valued over a finite interval and that, for a special case of the coefficients, its zeros involve the Golden ratio. Additionally, a number of applications involving special cases of this ODE are noted and the main properties of the Lambert W-function are briefly reviewed.
