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, _exact, _linear, _homogeneous]]
\[ \boxed {2 x \left (x +1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+3 \left (x +1\right ) y^{\prime }-y=0} \] 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. \[ \left (2 x^{2}+2 x \right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (3 x +3\right ) y^{\prime }-y = 0 \] 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}{2 x}\\ q(x) &= -\frac {1}{2 x \left (x +1\right )}\\ \end {align*}
Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as
Regular singular points : \([0, -1, \infty ]\)
Irregular singular points : \([]\)
Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ 2 x \left (x +1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (3 x +3\right ) y^{\prime }-y = 0 \] 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} 2 x \left (x +1\right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2}\right )+\left (3 x +3\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 }}a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} Which simplifies to \begin{equation} \tag{2A} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 \left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\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 \(n +r -1\) 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 }}2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r -1} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}3 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r -1} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} x^{n +r -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 \(n +r -1\). \begin{equation} \tag{2B} \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}3 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 \left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -1} x^{n +r -1}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ 2 x^{n +r -1} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 \left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ 2 x^{-1+r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 r a_{0} x^{-1+r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (2 x^{-1+r} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 r \,x^{-1+r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (2 r^{2}+r \right ) x^{-1+r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ 2 r^{2}+r = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= 0\\ r_2 &= -{\frac {1}{2}} \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (2 r^{2}+r \right ) x^{-1+r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [0, -{\frac {1}{2}}\right ]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {1}{2}}\) is not 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 ) &= 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 ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -\frac {1}{2}} \end {align*}
We start by finding \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\). 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 \(a_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} 2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right )+2 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+3 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n -1} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {\left (2 n +2 r -3\right ) a_{n -1}}{2 n +1+2 r}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = 0\) becomes \[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -1} \left (3-2 n \right )}{2 n +1}\tag {5} \] 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.

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \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}+a_{7} x^{7}+a_{8} x^{8}\dots \\ &= 1+\frac {x}{3}-\frac {x^{2}}{15}+\frac {x^{3}}{35}-\frac {x^{4}}{63}+\frac {x^{5}}{99}-\frac {x^{6}}{143}+\frac {x^{7}}{195}+O\left (x^{8}\right ) \end {align*}
Now the second solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) 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 \(b_{0} = 1\).

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= 1 \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}+b_{7} x^{7}+b_{8} x^{8}\dots \right ) \\ &= \frac {1+x +O\left (x^{8}\right )}{\sqrt {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} \left (1+\frac {x}{3}-\frac {x^{2}}{15}+\frac {x^{3}}{35}-\frac {x^{4}}{63}+\frac {x^{5}}{99}-\frac {x^{6}}{143}+\frac {x^{7}}{195}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_{2} \left (1+x +O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )}{\sqrt {x}} \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} \left (1+\frac {x}{3}-\frac {x^{2}}{15}+\frac {x^{3}}{35}-\frac {x^{4}}{63}+\frac {x^{5}}{99}-\frac {x^{6}}{143}+\frac {x^{7}}{195}+O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1+x +O\left (x^{8}\right )\right )}{\sqrt {x}} \\ \end{align*}
