What sort of an equation is

Write

and start with the equations

This last gives

and the system thus is

viz., this is a system of ordinary differential equations between the five variables θ, r, X, Y, Z: the system can therefore be integrated with 4 arbitrary constants, and these may be so determined that for the value β of θ, X, Y, Z shall be each = 0; and r shall have the value r0.
