The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "exact linear second order ode", "second_order_integrable_as_is", "second order series method. Irregular singular point"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_2nd_order, _exact, _linear, _homogeneous]]

Unable to solve or complete the solution.

\[ \boxed {x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (3 x -1\right ) y^{\prime }+y=0} \] 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. \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (3 x -1\right ) y^{\prime }+y = 0 \] 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 {3 x -1}{x^{2}}\\ q(x) &= \frac {1}{x^{2}}\\ \end {align*}

\(p(x)=\frac {3 x -1}{x^{2}}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``irregular''}\)
\(q(x)=\frac {1}{x^{2}}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)

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

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

Irregular singular points : \([0]\)

Since \(x = 0\) is not an ordinary point, then we will now check if it is a regular singular point. Unable to solve since \(x = 0\) is not regular singular point. Terminating.
