ODE degree: 1.
The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_linear_constant_coefficients_ODE"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_high_order, _missing_x]]
\[ \boxed {y^{\left (6\right )}-3 y^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }+3 y^{\prime \prime }-y=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{6}-3 \lambda ^{4}+3 \lambda ^{2}-1 = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= 1\\ \lambda _2 &= -1\\ \lambda _3 &= 1\\ \lambda _4 &= -1\\ \lambda _5 &= 1\\ \lambda _6 &= -1 \end {align*}
Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)=c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{5} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{6} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{-x}\\ y_2 &= x \,{\mathrm e}^{-x}\\ y_3 &= x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x}\\ y_4 &= {\mathrm e}^{x}\\ y_5 &= x \,{\mathrm e}^{x}\\ y_6 &= x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} \end {align*}
Summary
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{5} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{6} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{3} +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{5} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{6} \] Verified OK.
