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]]
\[ \boxed {2 t^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+3 t y^{\prime }-\left (t +1\right ) y=0} \] With the expansion point for the power series method at \(t = 0\).
The type of the expansion point is first determined. This is done on the homogeneous part of the ODE. \[ 2 t^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+3 t y^{\prime }+\left (-t -1\right ) y = 0 \] The following is summary of singularities for the above ode. Writing the ode as \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime }+p(t) y^{\prime } + q(t) y &=0 \end {align*}
Where \begin {align*} p(t) &= \frac {3}{2 t}\\ q(t) &= -\frac {t +1}{2 t^{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 \(t = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ 2 t^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+3 t y^{\prime }+\left (-t -1\right ) y = 0 \] Let the solution be represented as Frobenius power series of the form \[ y = \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} t^{n +r} \] Then \begin{align*} y^{\prime } &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} t^{n +r -1} \\ y^{\prime \prime } &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} t^{n +r -2} \\ \end{align*} Substituting the above back into the ode gives \begin{equation} \tag{1} 2 t^{2} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} t^{n +r -2}\right )+3 t \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} t^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (-t -1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} t^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Which simplifies to \begin{equation} \tag{2A} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-t^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n} t^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The next step is to make all powers of \(t\) be \(n +r\) in each summation term. Going over each summation term above with power of \(t\) in it which is not already \(t^{n +r}\) and adjusting the power and the corresponding index gives \begin{align*} \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-t^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} t^{n +r}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Substituting all the above in Eq (2A) gives the following equation where now all powers of \(t\) are the same and equal to \(n +r\). \begin{equation} \tag{2B} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} t^{n +r}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n} t^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ 2 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 t^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n} t^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ 2 t^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 t^{r} a_{0} r -a_{0} t^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (2 t^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 t^{r} r -t^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (2 r^{2}+r -1\right ) t^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(t\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ 2 r^{2}+r -1 = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= {\frac {1}{2}}\\ r_2 &= -1 \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (2 r^{2}+r -1\right ) t^{r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [{\frac {1}{2}}, -1\right ]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {3}{2}}\) is not an integer, then we can construct two linearly independent solutions \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (t \right ) &= t^{r_{1}} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} t^{n}\right )\\ y_{2}\left (t \right ) &= t^{r_{2}} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} t^{n}\right ) \end {align*}
Or \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (t \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} t^{n +\frac {1}{2}}\\ y_{2}\left (t \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} t^{n -1} \end {align*}
We start by finding \(y_{1}\left (t \right )\). 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} 2 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n -1}-a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -1}}{2 n^{2}+4 n r +2 r^{2}+n +r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) becomes \[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -1}}{n \left (2 n +3\right )}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=\frac {1}{32 r^{10}+1040 r^{9}+14800 r^{8}+121160 r^{7}+629986 r^{6}+2165345 r^{5}+4955450 r^{4}+7397715 r^{3}+6810732 r^{2}+3418740 r +680400} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) becomes \[ a_{5}={\frac {1}{5405400}} \] And the table now becomes

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (t \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (t \right )&= \sqrt {t} \left (a_{0}+a_{1} t +a_{2} t^{2}+a_{3} t^{3}+a_{4} t^{4}+a_{5} t^{5}+a_{6} t^{6}\dots \right ) \\ &= \sqrt {t}\, \left (1+\frac {t}{5}+\frac {t^{2}}{70}+\frac {t^{3}}{1890}+\frac {t^{4}}{83160}+\frac {t^{5}}{5405400}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right ) \end {align*}
Now the second solution \(y_{2}\left (t \right )\) 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} 2 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )-b_{n -1}-b_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = \frac {b_{n -1}}{2 n^{2}+4 n r +2 r^{2}+n +r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{n} = \frac {b_{n -1}}{n \left (2 n -3\right )}\tag {5} \] 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.

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (t \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (t \right )&= \sqrt {t} \left (b_{0}+b_{1} t +b_{2} t^{2}+b_{3} t^{3}+b_{4} t^{4}+b_{5} t^{5}+b_{6} t^{6}\dots \right ) \\ &= \frac {1-t -\frac {t^{2}}{2}-\frac {t^{3}}{18}-\frac {t^{4}}{360}-\frac {t^{5}}{12600}+O\left (t^{6}\right )}{t} \end {align*}
Therefore the homogeneous solution is \begin{align*} y_h(t) &= c_{1} y_{1}\left (t \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (t \right ) \\ &= c_{1} \sqrt {t}\, \left (1+\frac {t}{5}+\frac {t^{2}}{70}+\frac {t^{3}}{1890}+\frac {t^{4}}{83160}+\frac {t^{5}}{5405400}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_{2} \left (1-t -\frac {t^{2}}{2}-\frac {t^{3}}{18}-\frac {t^{4}}{360}-\frac {t^{5}}{12600}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right )}{t} \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} \sqrt {t}\, \left (1+\frac {t}{5}+\frac {t^{2}}{70}+\frac {t^{3}}{1890}+\frac {t^{4}}{83160}+\frac {t^{5}}{5405400}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-t -\frac {t^{2}}{2}-\frac {t^{3}}{18}-\frac {t^{4}}{360}-\frac {t^{5}}{12600}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right )}{t} \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} \sqrt {t}\, \left (1+\frac {t}{5}+\frac {t^{2}}{70}+\frac {t^{3}}{1890}+\frac {t^{4}}{83160}+\frac {t^{5}}{5405400}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-t -\frac {t^{2}}{2}-\frac {t^{3}}{18}-\frac {t^{4}}{360}-\frac {t^{5}}{12600}+O\left (t^{6}\right )\right )}{t} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
