The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "second order series method. Regular singular point. Difference not integer"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_2nd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]

\[ \boxed {x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\frac {\left (x +\frac {3}{4}\right ) y}{4}=0} \] With the expansion point for the power series method at \(x = 0\).

The type of the expansion point is first determined. This is done on the homogeneous part of the ODE. \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (\frac {x}{4}+\frac {3}{16}\right ) y = 0 \] The following is summary of singularities for the above ode. Writing the ode as \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime }+p(x) y^{\prime } + q(x) y &=0 \end {align*}

Where \begin {align*} p(x) &= 0\\ q(x) &= \frac {4 x +3}{16 x^{2}}\\ \end {align*}

Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as

Regular singular points : \([0]\)

Irregular singular points : \([\infty ]\)

Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (\frac {x}{4}+\frac {3}{16}\right ) y = 0 \] Let the solution be represented as Frobenius power series of the form \[ y = \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r} \] Then \begin{align*} y^{\prime } &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1} \\ y^{\prime \prime } &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2} \\ \end{align*} Substituting the above back into the ode gives \begin{equation} \tag{1} x^{2} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2}\right )+\left (\frac {x}{4}+\frac {3}{16}\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Which simplifies to \begin{equation} \tag{2A} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {x^{1+n +r} a_{n}}{4}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {3 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{16}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The next step is to make all powers of \(x\) be \(n +r\) in each summation term. Going over each summation term above with power of \(x\) in it which is not already \(x^{n +r}\) and adjusting the power and the corresponding index gives \begin{align*} \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {x^{1+n +r} a_{n}}{4} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\frac {a_{n -1} x^{n +r}}{4} \\ \end{align*} Substituting all the above in Eq (2A) gives the following equation where now all powers of \(x\) are the same and equal to \(n +r\). \begin{equation} \tag{2B} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\frac {a_{n -1} x^{n +r}}{4}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {3 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{16}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+\frac {3 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{16} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+\frac {3 a_{0} x^{r}}{16} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+\frac {3 x^{r}}{16}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \frac {\left (16 r^{2}-16 r +3\right ) x^{r}}{16} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ r^{2}-r +\frac {3}{16} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= {\frac {3}{4}}\\ r_2 &= {\frac {1}{4}} \end {align*}

Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \frac {\left (16 r^{2}-16 r +3\right ) x^{r}}{16} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [{\frac {3}{4}}, {\frac {1}{4}}\right ]\).

Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {1}{2}}\) is not an integer, then we can construct two linearly independent solutions \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= x^{r_{1}} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n}\right )\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x^{r_{2}} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n}\right ) \end {align*}

Or \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +\frac {3}{4}}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +\frac {1}{4}} \end {align*}

We start by finding \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\). Eq (2B) derived above is now used to find all \(a_{n}\) coefficients. The case \(n = 0\) is skipped since it was used to find the roots of the indicial equation. \(a_{0}\) is arbitrary and taken as \(a_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+\frac {a_{n -1}}{4}+\frac {3 a_{n}}{16} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {4 a_{n -1}}{16 n^{2}+32 n r +16 r^{2}-16 n -16 r +3}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {3}{4}}\) becomes \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -1}}{4 n^{2}+2 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {3}{4}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=-\frac {1024}{\left (16 r^{2}+16 r +3\right ) \left (16 r^{2}+48 r +35\right ) \left (16 r^{2}+80 r +99\right ) \left (16 r^{2}+112 r +195\right ) \left (16 r^{2}+144 r +323\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {3}{4}}\) becomes \[ a_{5}=-{\frac {1}{39916800}} \] And the table now becomes

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (a_{0}+a_{1} x +a_{2} x^{2}+a_{3} x^{3}+a_{4} x^{4}+a_{5} x^{5}+a_{6} x^{6}\dots \right ) \\ &= x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{6}+\frac {x^{2}}{120}-\frac {x^{3}}{5040}+\frac {x^{4}}{362880}-\frac {x^{5}}{39916800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \end {align*}

Now the second solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is found. Eq (2B) derived above is now used to find all \(b_{n}\) coefficients. The case \(n = 0\) is skipped since it was used to find the roots of the indicial equation. \(b_{0}\) is arbitrary and taken as \(b_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+\frac {b_{n -1}}{4}+\frac {3 b_{n}}{16} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = -\frac {4 b_{n -1}}{16 n^{2}+32 n r +16 r^{2}-16 n -16 r +3}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) becomes \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -1}}{4 n^{2}-2 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (b_{0}+b_{1} x +b_{2} x^{2}+b_{3} x^{3}+b_{4} x^{4}+b_{5} x^{5}+b_{6} x^{6}\dots \right ) \\ &= x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{2}+\frac {x^{2}}{24}-\frac {x^{3}}{720}+\frac {x^{4}}{40320}-\frac {x^{5}}{3628800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \end {align*}

Therefore the homogeneous solution is \begin{align*} y_h(x) &= c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \\ &= c_{1} x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{6}+\frac {x^{2}}{120}-\frac {x^{3}}{5040}+\frac {x^{4}}{362880}-\frac {x^{5}}{39916800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{2}+\frac {x^{2}}{24}-\frac {x^{3}}{720}+\frac {x^{4}}{40320}-\frac {x^{5}}{3628800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{6}+\frac {x^{2}}{120}-\frac {x^{3}}{5040}+\frac {x^{4}}{362880}-\frac {x^{5}}{39916800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{2}+\frac {x^{2}}{24}-\frac {x^{3}}{720}+\frac {x^{4}}{40320}-\frac {x^{5}}{3628800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x^{\frac {3}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{6}+\frac {x^{2}}{120}-\frac {x^{3}}{5040}+\frac {x^{4}}{362880}-\frac {x^{5}}{39916800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x}{2}+\frac {x^{2}}{24}-\frac {x^{3}}{720}+\frac {x^{4}}{40320}-\frac {x^{5}}{3628800}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}
