Of the form

The solution is

Analysis

y is undefined at

If 0 < y_0 < 1, The solution is defined for all t. y(t) approaches 1 as t approaches infinity. y(t) approaches 0 as t approaches negative infinity.

For y_0 > 1, the blowup time is negative

As t approaches positive infinity, y(t) approaches 1.

For y_0 < 0, as t approaches negative infinity, y(t) approaches 0.
