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]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\left (6\right )}-y^{\prime \prime }=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{6}-\lambda ^{2} = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= 0\\ \lambda _2 &= 0\\ \lambda _3 &= 1\\ \lambda _4 &= -1\\ \lambda _5 &= i\\ \lambda _6 &= -i \end {align*}

Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)=c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+c_{2} +c_{3} x +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +{\mathrm e}^{-i x} c_{5} +{\mathrm e}^{i x} c_{6} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{-x}\\ y_2 &= 1\\ y_3 &= x\\ y_4 &= {\mathrm e}^{x}\\ y_5 &= {\mathrm e}^{-i x}\\ y_6 &= {\mathrm e}^{i x} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+c_{2} +c_{3} x +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +{\mathrm e}^{-i x} c_{5} +{\mathrm e}^{i x} c_{6} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-x}+c_{2} +c_{3} x +{\mathrm e}^{x} c_{4} +{\mathrm e}^{-i x} c_{5} +{\mathrm e}^{i x} c_{6} \] Verified OK.
