Using reduction of order method given that one solution is
ode:=diff(diff(y(x),x),x)+y(x) = 0; dsolve(ode,y(x), singsol=all);
ode=D[y[x],{x,2}]+y[x]==0; ic={}; DSolve[{ode,ic},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
from sympy import * x = symbols("x") y = Function("y") ode = Eq(y(x) + Derivative(y(x), (x, 2)),0) ics = {} dsolve(ode,func=y(x),ics=ics)
