The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "second order series method. Regular singular point. Repeated root"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_2nd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]
\[ \boxed {x y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{3}+1\right ) y^{\prime }+b x y=0} \] 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. \[ x y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{3}+1\right ) y^{\prime }+b x y = 0 \] 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) &= \frac {x^{3}+1}{x}\\ q(x) &= b\\ \end {align*}
Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as
Regular singular points : \([0, \infty , -\infty ]\)
Irregular singular points : \([\infty ]\)
Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ x y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{3}+1\right ) y^{\prime }+b x y = 0 \] 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 \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2}\right )+\left (x^{3}+1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+b x \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 -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b \,x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The next step is to make all powers of \(x\) be \(n +r -1\) in each summation term. Going over each summation term above with power of \(x\) in it which is not already \(x^{n +r -1}\) and adjusting the power and the corresponding index gives \begin{align*} \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =3}{\sum }}a_{n -3} \left (n +r -3\right ) x^{n +r -1} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b \,x^{1+n +r} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}b a_{n -2} x^{n +r -1} \\ \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 \(n +r -1\). \begin{equation} \tag{2B} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =3}{\sum }}a_{n -3} \left (n +r -3\right ) x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}b a_{n -2} x^{n +r -1}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ x^{n +r -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ x^{-1+r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+r a_{0} x^{-1+r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (x^{-1+r} r \left (-1+r \right )+r \,x^{-1+r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ x^{-1+r} r^{2} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ r^{2} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= 0\\ r_2 &= 0 \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ x^{-1+r} r^{2} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \([0, 0]\).
Since the root of the indicial equation is repeated, then we can construct two linearly independent solutions. The first solution has the form \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r}\tag {1A} \end {align*}
Now the second solution \(y_{2}\) is found using \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\right )\tag {1B} \end {align*}
Then the general solution will be \[ y = c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \] In Eq (1B) the sum starts from 1 and not zero. In Eq (1A), \(a_{0}\) is never zero, and is arbitrary and is typically taken as \(a_{0} = 1\), and \(\{c_{1}, c_{2}\}\) are two arbitray constants of integration which can be found from initial conditions. We start by finding the first solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\). 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 \(a_{0} = 1\). Substituting \(n = 1\) in Eq. (2B) gives \[ a_{1} = 0 \] Substituting \(n = 2\) in Eq. (2B) gives \[ a_{2} = -\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}} \] For \(3\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+a_{n -3} \left (n +r -3\right )+a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+b a_{n -2} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {b a_{n -2}+n a_{n -3}+r a_{n -3}-3 a_{n -3}}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = 0\) becomes \[ a_{n} = \frac {\left (-n +3\right ) a_{n -3}-b a_{n -2}}{n^{2}}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = 0\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.
\(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
\(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-\frac {b}{4}\) |
For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{3}=-\frac {r}{\left (r +3\right )^{2}} \] Which for the root \(r = 0\) becomes \[ a_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes
\(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
\(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-\frac {b}{4}\) |
\(a_{3}\) | \(-\frac {r}{\left (r +3\right )^{2}}\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {b^{2}}{\left (2+r \right )^{2} \left (r +4\right )^{2}} \] Which for the root \(r = 0\) becomes \[ a_{4}=\frac {b^{2}}{64} \] And the table now becomes
\(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
\(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-\frac {b}{4}\) |
\(a_{3}\) | \(-\frac {r}{\left (r +3\right )^{2}}\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{\left (2+r \right )^{2} \left (r +4\right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{64}\) |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=\frac {b \left (2 r^{2}+8 r +9\right )}{\left (2+r \right ) \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +5\right )^{2}} \] Which for the root \(r = 0\) becomes \[ a_{5}=\frac {b}{50} \] And the table now becomes
\(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
\(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-\frac {b}{4}\) |
\(a_{3}\) | \(-\frac {r}{\left (r +3\right )^{2}}\) | \(0\) |
\(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{\left (2+r \right )^{2} \left (r +4\right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{64}\) |
\(a_{5}\) | \(\frac {b \left (2 r^{2}+8 r +9\right )}{\left (2+r \right ) \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +5\right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {b}{50}\) |
Using the above table, then the first solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) becomes \begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= 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 \\ &= 1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Now the second solution is found. The second solution is given by \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) \] Where \(b_{n}\) is found using \[ b_{n} = \frac {d}{d r}a_{n ,r} \] And the above is then evaluated at \(r = 0\). The above table for \(a_{n ,r}\) is used for this purpose. Computing the derivatives gives the following table
\(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) | \(b_{n ,r} = \frac {d}{d r}a_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\left (r =0\right )\) |
\(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) | N/A since \(b_{n}\) starts from 1 | N/A |
\(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
\(b_{2}\) | \(-\frac {b}{\left (2+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-\frac {b}{4}\) | \(\frac {2 b}{\left (2+r \right )^{3}}\) | \(\frac {b}{4}\) |
\(b_{3}\) | \(-\frac {r}{\left (r +3\right )^{2}}\) | \(0\) | \(\frac {r -3}{\left (r +3\right )^{3}}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{9}}\) |
\(b_{4}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{\left (2+r \right )^{2} \left (r +4\right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {b^{2}}{64}\) | \(-\frac {4 b^{2} \left (r +3\right )}{\left (2+r \right )^{3} \left (r +4\right )^{3}}\) | \(-\frac {3 b^{2}}{128}\) |
\(b_{5}\) | \(\frac {b \left (2 r^{2}+8 r +9\right )}{\left (2+r \right ) \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +5\right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {b}{50}\) | \(-\frac {b \left (6 r^{4}+56 r^{3}+191 r^{2}+296 r +183\right )}{\left (r +5\right )^{3} \left (2+r \right )^{2} \left (r +3\right )^{3}}\) | \(-\frac {61 b}{4500}\) |
The above table gives all values of \(b_{n}\) needed. Hence the second solution is \begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&=y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+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 \\ &= \left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}-\frac {x^{3}}{9}-\frac {3 b^{2} x^{4}}{128}-\frac {61 b \,x^{5}}{4500}+O\left (x^{6}\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} \left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + c_{2} \left (\left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}-\frac {x^{3}}{9}-\frac {3 b^{2} x^{4}}{128}-\frac {61 b \,x^{5}}{4500}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} \left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} \left (\left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}-\frac {x^{3}}{9}-\frac {3 b^{2} x^{4}}{128}-\frac {61 b \,x^{5}}{4500}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} \left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} \left (\left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}-\frac {x^{3}}{9}-\frac {3 b^{2} x^{4}}{128}-\frac {61 b \,x^{5}}{4500}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{1} \left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} \left (\left (1-\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}+\frac {b^{2} x^{4}}{64}+\frac {b \,x^{5}}{50}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {b \,x^{2}}{4}-\frac {x^{3}}{9}-\frac {3 b^{2} x^{4}}{128}-\frac {61 b \,x^{5}}{4500}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \] Verified OK.
