Hi,

I was just looking at a way to solve ODEs algebraically and came up with
the code below which almost works (just needs integration constants). I
have a few questions though.

1. What is the right way to define an arbitrary invertible function and its
inverse?

2. Is the code below abusing doit() or is that a reasonable way to use it?

3. Should I check for the inverses in __new__ or is there a better way to
do that?

4. Does this represent a reasonable approach for something that could be
implemented in dsolve?

5. How can I make a different integration constant each time I call
intx.doit()?

class diffx(Function):
    def __new__(cls, expr):
        if isinstance(expr, intx):
            return expr.args[0]
        else:
            return super().__new__(cls, expr)
    def inverse(self):
        return intx

class intx(Function):
    def __new__(cls, expr):
        if isinstance(expr, diffx):
            return expr.args[0]
        else:
            return super().__new__(cls, expr)
    def inverse(self):
        return intx
    def doit(self):
        return Integral(self.args[0].doit(), x).doit()  # + Symbol('C')

eqn = diffx(x*diffx(f(x)))/x - exp(x)
soln,= solve(eqn, f(x))
print(soln.doit())
