How to find any solution to a single differential equation with two dependent variables?

Posted 15 days ago

An underdetermined system of differential equations may have infinitely many solutions--like a single equation with two dependent variables. How can one find any (all?) solutions?

Here's another sense of underdetermined:

DSolve[{x''[t] + 4 x'[t] + 5 x[t] == 0, x[0] + x'[0] == 1}, x[t], t]

Here is a case when Mathematica gives the solutions as a single equation with two dependent variables:

DSolve[y'[t] + Cos[x[t]  y[t]]  (y[t]  x'[t] + x[t]  y'[t]) == 0,
 y[t], t]
