Existence, Uniqueness & Bifurcations · Hard problem

On t≥0t \ge 0, the IVP y′=tyy' = t\sqrt{y}, y(0)=0y(0) = 0 does not have a unique solution. The nonnegative solutions are y=0y = 0 for 0≤t≤c0 \le t \le c and y=(t2−c2)216y = \dfrac{(t^2 - c^2)^2}{16} for t>ct > c, where c≥0c \ge 0. If such a solution satisfies y(3)=1y(3) = 1, find cc.
