The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "second order series method. Regular singular point. Difference is integer"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_2nd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]
\[ \boxed {x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime } x^{2}+\left (-2+x \right ) y=0} \] 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. \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime } x^{2}+\left (-2+x \right ) y = 0 \] 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) &= 1\\ q(x) &= \frac {-2+x}{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 \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime } x^{2}+\left (-2+x \right ) y = 0 \] 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 (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right ) x^{2}+\left (-2+x \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 }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\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 }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} x^{n +r} \\ \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 }}a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )-2 a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )-2 a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )-2 x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (r^{2}-r -2\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ r^{2}-r -2 = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= 2\\ r_2 &= -1 \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (r^{2}-r -2\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \([2, -1]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = 3\) is 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 ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \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 ) &= x^{2} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n}\right )\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n}}{x} \end {align*}
Or \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +2}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -1}\right ) \end {align*}
Where \(C\) above can be zero. We start by finding \(y_{1}\). 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 )+a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )-2 a_{n}+a_{n -1} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -1} \left (n +r \right )}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}-n -r -2}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -1} \left (n +2\right )}{n \left (n +3\right )}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = 2\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
For \(n = 1\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{1}=\frac {-1-r}{r^{2}+r -2} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{1}=-{\frac {3}{4}} \] And the table now becomes

| \(a_{1}\) | \(\frac {-1-r}{r^{2}+r -2}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{4}}\) |
For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{2}=\frac {1+r}{\left (r +3\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{2}={\frac {3}{10}} \] And the table now becomes

For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{3}=-\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{3}=-{\frac {1}{12}} \] And the table now becomes

| \(a_{2}\) | \(\frac {1+r}{\left (r +3\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )}\) | \(\frac {3}{10}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(-\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{12}}\) |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (r +5\right ) \left (2+r \right )} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{4}={\frac {1}{56}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(\frac {-1-r}{r^{2}+r -2}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{4}}\) |

| \(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (r +5\right ) \left (2+r \right )}\) | \(\frac {1}{56}\) |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=-\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (2+r \right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +3\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = 2\) becomes \[ a_{5}=-{\frac {1}{320}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(\frac {-1-r}{r^{2}+r -2}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{4}}\) |

| \(a_{5}\) | \(-\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (2+r \right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +3\right )}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{320}}\) |
Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{2} \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^{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x}{4}+\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}-\frac {x^{3}}{12}+\frac {x^{4}}{56}-\frac {x^{5}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \end {align*}
Now the second solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is found. Let \[ r_{1}-r_{2} = N \] Where \(N\) is positive integer which is the difference between the two roots. \(r_{1}\) is taken as the larger root. Hence for this problem we have \(N=3\). Now we need to determine if \(C\) is zero or not. This is done by finding \(\lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}a_{3}\left (r \right )\). If this limit exists, then \(C = 0\), else we need to keep the log term and \(C \neq 0\). The above table shows that \begin {align*} a_N &= a_{3} \\ &= -\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )} \end {align*}
Therefore \begin {align*} \lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}-\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )}&= \lim _{r\rightarrow -1}-\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) r \left (-1+r \right )}\\ &= -{\frac {1}{6}} \end {align*}
The limit is \(-{\frac {1}{6}}\). Since the limit exists then the log term is not needed and we can set \(C = 0\). Therefore the second solution has the form \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\\ &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -1} \end {align*}
Eq (3) derived above is 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{4} b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+b_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )-2 b_{n}+b_{n -1} = 0 \end{equation} Which for for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \begin{equation} \tag{4A} b_{n} \left (n -1\right ) \left (n -2\right )+b_{n -1} \left (n -2\right )-2 b_{n}+b_{n -1} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from the recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -1} \left (n +r \right )}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}-n -r -2}\tag {5} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -1} \left (n -1\right )}{n^{2}-3 n}\tag {6} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = -1\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{4}=\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (r^{2}+7 r +10\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{4}={\frac {1}{8}} \] And the table now becomes

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{5}=-\frac {1}{r \left (-1+r \right ) \left (2+r \right ) \left (r^{2}+9 r +18\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{5}=-{\frac {1}{20}} \] And the table now becomes

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= x^{2} \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 ) \\ &= \frac {1-\frac {x^{3}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}-\frac {x^{5}}{20}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x} \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^{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x}{4}+\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}-\frac {x^{3}}{12}+\frac {x^{4}}{56}-\frac {x^{5}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {x^{3}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}-\frac {x^{5}}{20}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} x^{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x}{4}+\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}-\frac {x^{3}}{12}+\frac {x^{4}}{56}-\frac {x^{5}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {x^{3}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}-\frac {x^{5}}{20}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x^{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x}{4}+\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}-\frac {x^{3}}{12}+\frac {x^{4}}{56}-\frac {x^{5}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {x^{3}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}-\frac {x^{5}}{20}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
