For a given differential equation
x y + 2 y log y 4 x 2 y = 0 ;
y ( 1 ) = 1
I want to use the substitution v = log y. Which implies that
v = d v d y d y d x = 1 y y
Hence:
y = y v
That being said, solving the equation I try as follows:
x y v + 2 y v 4 x 2 y = 0
x v + 2 v = 4 x 2
v + 2 x v = 4 x
v = 4 x 2 x v
How can I use seperation of variables here? Or how can I solve this thing ?

You've reduced your equation to the so called Bernoulli differential equation. Using notation from wikipedia just set
P ( x ) = 2 x Q ( x ) = 4 x n = 0
