Consider the differential equation
-
2x(x − 1)y" + 3(x
- 1)y - y = 0
which has a regular singular point at x = 0. The indicial equation for x = 0 is
2+1/2
with roots (in increasing order) r₁ = -1/2
and r2=0
r+ 0
= 0
Find the indicated terms of the following series solutions of the differential equation:
(a) y=x(6+-6
x+0
x²+0
30
x4 + ...)
(b) y=x(7+-7/3
x+-7/15
x²+-7/35
3+-7/63
x+...)
The closed form of solution (a) is y = (6(1-x))/(x^(1/2))
