Hello,

You may write your system as:
   d V_k(x) /d x = Sum[ V_m(x),{m=1,nmax}]
Then
d V_1(x)/d x  =d V_2(x)/d x  =d V_3(x)/d x  = . . .
and
V_2(x) = V_1(x) + C_2
V_3(x) = V_1(x) + C_3
   . . .
substitute to equation we receive:
V_1(x) = C_1 * Exp[ n*x ] -(C_2 + C_3 + ... + C_nmax) / nmax
with previos equals it is a general solution.
