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]]

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

Table 79: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.
\(p(x)=-\frac {2 x -1}{x}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(q(x)=-\frac {x +1}{x^{2}}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)

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

Regular singular points : \([0]\)

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

Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (-x -1\right ) y = 0 \] Let the solution be represented as Frobenius power series of the form \[ y = \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r} \] 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 (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (-x -1\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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n} x^{n +r}\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 }}\left (-2 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r}\right ) \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} x^{n +r}\right ) \\ \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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} x^{n +r}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+x^{r} a_{0} r -a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+x^{r} r -x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (r^{2}-1\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ r^{2}-1 = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= 1\\ r_2 &= -1 \end {align*}

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

Since \(r_1 - r_2 = 2\) 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 \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^{1+n}\\ 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 )-2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n -1}-a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -1} \left (2 n +2 r -1\right )}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}-1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = 1\) becomes \[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -1} \left (2 n +1\right )}{n \left (n +2\right )}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = 1\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

For \(n = 7\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{7}=\frac {128 r^{7}+3136 r^{6}+31136 r^{5}+160720 r^{4}+459032 r^{3}+709324 r^{2}+528414 r +135135}{r \left (r +2\right )^{2} \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +1\right ) \left (4+r \right )^{2} \left (5+r \right )^{2} \left (6+r \right )^{2} \left (7+r \right ) \left (8+r \right )} \] Which for the root \(r = 1\) becomes \[ a_{7}={\frac {143}{64512}} \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {1+2 r}{r \left (r +2\right )}\) \(1\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {4 r^{2}+8 r +3}{r \left (r +2\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +1\right )}\) \(\frac {5}{8}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(\frac {8 r^{3}+36 r^{2}+46 r +15}{r \left (r +2\right )^{2} \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +1\right ) \left (4+r \right )}\) \(\frac {7}{24}\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {16 r^{4}+128 r^{3}+344 r^{2}+352 r +105}{r \left (r +2\right )^{2} \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +1\right ) \left (4+r \right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(\frac {7}{64}\)
\(a_{5}\) \(\frac {32 r^{5}+400 r^{4}+1840 r^{3}+3800 r^{2}+3378 r +945}{r \left (r +2\right )^{2} \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +1\right ) \left (4+r \right )^{2} \left (5+r \right ) \left (6+r \right )}\) \(\frac {11}{320}\)
\(a_{6}\) \(\frac {64 r^{6}+1152 r^{5}+8080 r^{4}+27840 r^{3}+48556 r^{2}+39048 r +10395}{r \left (r +2\right )^{2} \left (r +3\right )^{2} \left (r +1\right ) \left (4+r \right )^{2} \left (5+r \right )^{2} \left (6+r \right ) \left (7+r \right )}\) \(\frac {143}{15360}\)

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x \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}+a_{7} x^{7}+a_{8} x^{8}\dots \right ) \\ &= x \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\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 \(N=2\). Now we need to determine if \(C\) is zero or not. This is done by finding \(\lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}a_{2}\left (r \right )\). 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_{2} \\ &= \frac {4 r^{2}+8 r +3}{r \left (r +2\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +1\right )} \end {align*}

Therefore \begin {align*} \lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}\frac {4 r^{2}+8 r +3}{r \left (r +2\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +1\right )}&= \lim _{r\rightarrow -1}\frac {4 r^{2}+8 r +3}{r \left (r +2\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +1\right )}\\ &= \textit {undefined} \end {align*}

Since the limit does not exist then the log term is needed. Therefore the second solution has the form \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right ) \] Therefore \begin{align*} \frac {d}{d x}y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x}+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ &= C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x}+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-1+n +r_{2}} b_{n} \left (n +r_{2}\right )\right ) \\ \frac {d^{2}}{d x^{2}}y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {2 C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )}{x}-\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x^{2}}+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )^{2}}{x^{2}}-\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x^{2}}\right ) \\ &= C y_{1}^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {2 C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )}{x}-\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x^{2}}+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-2+n +r_{2}} b_{n} \left (n +r_{2}\right ) \left (-1+n +r_{2}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*} Substituting these back into the given ode \(x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (-x -1\right ) y = 0\) gives \[ x^{2} \left (C y_{1}^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {2 C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )}{x}-\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x^{2}}+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )^{2}}{x^{2}}-\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x^{2}}\right )\right )+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (C y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {C y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x}+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x}\right )\right )+\left (-x -1\right ) \left (C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right )\right ) = 0 \] Which can be written as \begin{equation} \tag{7} \left (\left (x^{2} y_{1}^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right )+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )+\left (-x -1\right ) y_{1}\left (x \right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+x^{2} \left (\frac {2 y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )}{x}-\frac {y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x^{2}}\right )+\frac {\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x}\right ) C +x^{2} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )^{2}}{x^{2}}-\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x^{2}}\right )\right )+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x}\right )+\left (-x -1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} But since \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is a solution to the ode, then \[ x^{2} y_{1}^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right )+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )+\left (-x -1\right ) y_{1}\left (x \right ) = 0 \] Eq (7) simplifes to \begin{equation} \tag{8} \left (x^{2} \left (\frac {2 y_{1}^{\prime }\left (x \right )}{x}-\frac {y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x^{2}}\right )+\frac {\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) y_{1}\left (x \right )}{x}\right ) C +x^{2} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )^{2}}{x^{2}}-\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x^{2}}\right )\right )+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\frac {b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}} \left (n +r_{2}\right )}{x}\right )+\left (-x -1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Substituting \(y_{1} = \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r_{1}}\) into the above gives \begin{equation} \tag{9} \left (2 \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-1+n +r_{1}} a_{n} \left (n +r_{1}\right )\right ) x -2 \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r_{1}}\right ) x \right ) C +\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-2+n +r_{2}} b_{n} \left (n +r_{2}\right ) \left (-1+n +r_{2}\right )\right ) x^{2}+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-1+n +r_{2}} b_{n} \left (n +r_{2}\right )\right )+\left (-x -1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Since \(r_{1} = 1\) and \(r_{2} = -1\) then the above becomes \begin{equation} \tag{10} \left (2 \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n} a_{n} \left (1+n \right )\right ) x -2 \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{1+n}\right ) x \right ) C +\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-3+n} b_{n} \left (n -1\right ) \left (-2+n \right )\right ) x^{2}+\left (-2 x^{2}+x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{-2+n} b_{n} \left (n -1\right )\right )+\left (-x -1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -1}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Which simplifies to \begin{equation} \tag{2A} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 C \,x^{1+n} a_{n} \left (1+n \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 C \,x^{n +2} a_{n}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n -1} b_{n} \left (n^{2}-3 n +2\right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 x^{n} b_{n} \left (n -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n -1} b_{n} \left (n -1\right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n} x^{n}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n} x^{n -1}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The next step is to make all powers of \(x\) be \(n -1\) in each summation term. Going over each summation term above with power of \(x\) in it which is not already \(x^{n -1}\) and adjusting the power and the corresponding index gives \begin{align*} \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 C \,x^{1+n} a_{n} \left (1+n \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}2 C a_{-2+n} \left (n -1\right ) x^{n -1} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 C \,x^{n +2} a_{n}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =3}{\sum }}\left (-2 C a_{-3+n} x^{n -1}\right ) \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-2 x^{n} b_{n} \left (n -1\right )\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-2 b_{n -1} \left (-2+n \right ) x^{n -1}\right ) \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n} x^{n}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n -1} x^{n -1}\right ) \\ \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 \(n -1\). \begin{equation} \tag{2B} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}2 C a_{-2+n} \left (n -1\right ) x^{n -1}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =3}{\sum }}\left (-2 C a_{-3+n} x^{n -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n -1} b_{n} \left (n^{2}-3 n +2\right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-2 b_{n -1} \left (-2+n \right ) x^{n -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n -1} b_{n} \left (n -1\right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n -1} x^{n -1}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-b_{n} x^{n -1}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} For \(n=0\) in Eq. (2B), we choose arbitray value for \(b_{0}\) as \(b_{0} = 1\). For \(n=1\), Eq (2B) gives \[ b_{0}-b_{1} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ 1-b_{1} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{1}\) gives \[ b_{1}=1 \] For \(n=N\), where \(N=2\) which is the difference between the two roots, we are free to choose \(b_{2} = 0\). Hence for \(n=2\), Eq (2B) gives \[ 2 C -1 = 0 \] Which is solved for \(C\). Solving for \(C\) gives \[ C={\frac {1}{2}} \] For \(n=3\), Eq (2B) gives \[ \left (-2 a_{0}+4 a_{1}\right ) C -3 b_{2}+3 b_{3} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ 1+3 b_{3} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{3}\) gives \[ b_{3}=-{\frac {1}{3}} \] For \(n=4\), Eq (2B) gives \[ \left (-2 a_{1}+6 a_{2}\right ) C -5 b_{3}+8 b_{4} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ \frac {61}{24}+8 b_{4} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{4}\) gives \[ b_{4}=-{\frac {61}{192}} \] For \(n=5\), Eq (2B) gives \[ \left (-2 a_{2}+8 a_{3}\right ) C -7 b_{4}+15 b_{5} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ \frac {177}{64}+15 b_{5} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{5}\) gives \[ b_{5}=-{\frac {59}{320}} \] For \(n=6\), Eq (2B) gives \[ \left (-2 a_{3}+10 a_{4}\right ) C -9 b_{5}+24 b_{6} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ \frac {919}{480}+24 b_{6} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{6}\) gives \[ b_{6}=-{\frac {919}{11520}} \] For \(n=7\), Eq (2B) gives \[ \left (-2 a_{4}+12 a_{5}\right ) C -11 b_{6}+35 b_{7} = 0 \] Which when replacing the above values found already for \(b_{n}\) and the values found earlier for \(a_{n}\) and for \(C\), gives \[ \frac {2245}{2304}+35 b_{7} = 0 \] Solving the above for \(b_{7}\) gives \[ b_{7}=-{\frac {449}{16128}} \] Now that we found all \(b_{n}\) and \(C\), we can calculate the second solution from \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r_{2}}\right ) \] Using the above value found for \(C={\frac {1}{2}}\) and all \(b_{n}\), then the second solution becomes \[ y_{2}\left (x \right )= \frac {1}{2}\eslowast \left (x \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {1+x -\frac {x^{3}}{3}-\frac {61 x^{4}}{192}-\frac {59 x^{5}}{320}-\frac {919 x^{6}}{11520}-\frac {449 x^{7}}{16128}+O\left (x^{8}\right )}{x} \] 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 \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right ) + c_{2} \left (\frac {1}{2}\eslowast \left (x \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {1+x -\frac {x^{3}}{3}-\frac {61 x^{4}}{192}-\frac {59 x^{5}}{320}-\frac {919 x^{6}}{11520}-\frac {449 x^{7}}{16128}+O\left (x^{8}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} x \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )+c_{2} \left (\frac {x \left (1+x +\frac {5 x^{2}}{8}+\frac {7 x^{3}}{24}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{64}+\frac {11 x^{5}}{320}+\frac {143 x^{6}}{15360}+\frac {143 x^{7}}{64512}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{2}+\frac {1+x -\frac {x^{3}}{3}-\frac {61 x^{4}}{192}-\frac {59 x^{5}}{320}-\frac {919 x^{6}}{11520}-\frac {449 x^{7}}{16128}+O\left (x^{8}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}
