Abstract

This research aimed to study the linearization problem of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations by using a generalized linearizing transformation to reduce the equation into the linear form equation.  The study establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for such a transformation, presents a procedure to determine the transformation functions and the coefficients of the linear equation, and provides examples of obtaining solutions to illustrate the proposed concepts.
