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]]
\[ \boxed {x^{2} \left (x +3\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+5 x \left (x +1\right ) y^{\prime }-\left (-4 x +1\right ) y=0} \] 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. \[ \left (x^{3}+3 x^{2}\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (5 x^{2}+5 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (4 x -1\right ) y = 0 \] 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 {5 x +5}{x \left (x +3\right )}\\ q(x) &= \frac {4 x -1}{x^{2} \left (x +3\right )}\\ \end {align*}
| \(p(x)=\frac {5 x +5}{x \left (x +3\right )}\) | |
| singularity | type |
| \(x = -3\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(x = 0\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(q(x)=\frac {4 x -1}{x^{2} \left (x +3\right )}\) | |
| singularity | type |
| \(x = -3\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(x = 0\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as
Regular singular points : \([-3, 0, \infty ]\)
Irregular singular points : \([]\)
Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ x^{2} \left (x +3\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (5 x^{2}+5 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (4 x -1\right ) y = 0 \] 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 (x +3\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 (5 x^{2}+5 x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (4 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^{1+n +r} 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 ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}4 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 }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}5 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}4 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}4 a_{n -1} x^{n +r} \\ \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 =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}5 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}4 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 \[ 3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+5 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ 3 x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+5 x^{r} a_{0} r -a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (3 x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+5 x^{r} r -x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (3 r^{2}+2 r -1\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ 3 r^{2}+2 r -1 = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= {\frac {1}{3}}\\ r_2 &= -1 \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (3 r^{2}+2 r -1\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [{\frac {1}{3}}, -1\right ]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {4}{3}}\) 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 +\frac {1}{3}}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -1} \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} a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right )+3 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+5 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+5 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+4 a_{n -1}-a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {\left (1+n +r \right ) a_{n -1}}{3 n +3 r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{n} = -\frac {\left (4+3 n \right ) a_{n -1}}{9 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

For \(n = 1\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{1}=\frac {-2-r}{2+3 r} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{1}=-{\frac {7}{9}} \] And the table now becomes

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {r^{4}+14 r^{3}+71 r^{2}+154 r +120}{81 r^{4}+702 r^{3}+2079 r^{2}+2418 r +880} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{4}={\frac {1820}{19683}} \] And the table now becomes

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=\frac {-r^{5}-20 r^{4}-155 r^{3}-580 r^{2}-1044 r -720}{243 r^{5}+3240 r^{4}+16065 r^{3}+36360 r^{2}+36492 r +12320} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{5}=-{\frac {6916}{177147}} \] And the table now becomes

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {1}{3}} \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}\dots \right ) \\ &= x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {7 x}{9}+\frac {35 x^{2}}{81}-\frac {455 x^{3}}{2187}+\frac {1820 x^{4}}{19683}-\frac {6916 x^{5}}{177147}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\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 \(b_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} b_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right )+3 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+5 b_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+5 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+4 b_{n -1}-b_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = -\frac {\left (1+n +r \right ) b_{n -1}}{3 n +3 r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{n} = -\frac {n b_{n -1}}{3 n -4}\tag {5} \] 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 \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {1}{3}} \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}\dots \right ) \\ &= \frac {1+x -x^{2}+\frac {3 x^{3}}{5}-\frac {3 x^{4}}{10}+\frac {3 x^{5}}{22}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{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} x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {7 x}{9}+\frac {35 x^{2}}{81}-\frac {455 x^{3}}{2187}+\frac {1820 x^{4}}{19683}-\frac {6916 x^{5}}{177147}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_{2} \left (1+x -x^{2}+\frac {3 x^{3}}{5}-\frac {3 x^{4}}{10}+\frac {3 x^{5}}{22}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {7 x}{9}+\frac {35 x^{2}}{81}-\frac {455 x^{3}}{2187}+\frac {1820 x^{4}}{19683}-\frac {6916 x^{5}}{177147}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1+x -x^{2}+\frac {3 x^{3}}{5}-\frac {3 x^{4}}{10}+\frac {3 x^{5}}{22}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {7 x}{9}+\frac {35 x^{2}}{81}-\frac {455 x^{3}}{2187}+\frac {1820 x^{4}}{19683}-\frac {6916 x^{5}}{177147}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1+x -x^{2}+\frac {3 x^{3}}{5}-\frac {3 x^{4}}{10}+\frac {3 x^{5}}{22}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
