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, _with_linear_symmetries]]
\[ \boxed {8 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+x \left (x^{2}+2\right ) y^{\prime }+y=0} \] 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. \[ 8 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{3}+2 x \right ) y^{\prime }+y = 0 \] 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 {x^{2}+2}{8 x}\\ q(x) &= \frac {1}{8 x^{2}}\\ \end {align*}
Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as
Regular singular points : \([0, \infty , -\infty ]\)
Irregular singular points : \([\infty ]\)
Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ 8 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{3}+2 x \right ) y^{\prime }+y = 0 \] 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} 8 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 (x^{3}+2 x \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 }}8 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}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^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) 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 =0}{\sum }}8 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation} The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives \[ 8 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ 8 x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+2 x^{r} a_{0} r +a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (8 x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+2 x^{r} r +x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (8 r^{2}-6 r +1\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ 8 r^{2}-6 r +1 = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= {\frac {1}{2}}\\ r_2 &= {\frac {1}{4}} \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (8 r^{2}-6 r +1\right ) x^{r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [{\frac {1}{2}}, {\frac {1}{4}}\right ]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {1}{4}}\) 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}{2}}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +\frac {1}{4}} \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 \(a_{0} = 1\). Substituting \(n = 1\) in Eq. (2B) gives \[ a_{1} = 0 \] For \(2\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} 8 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+2 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )}{8 n^{2}+16 n r +8 r^{2}-6 n -6 r +1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) becomes \[ a_{n} = \frac {-2 n a_{n -2}+3 a_{n -2}}{16 n^{2}+4 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{2}=-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) becomes \[ a_{2}=-{\frac {1}{72}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{72}}\) |
For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{72}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {r \left (2+r \right )}{\left (8 r^{2}+26 r +21\right ) \left (8 r^{2}+58 r +105\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{2}}\) becomes \[ a_{4}={\frac {5}{19584}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{72}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {r \left (2+r \right )}{\left (8 r^{2}+26 r +21\right ) \left (8 r^{2}+58 r +105\right )}\) | \(\frac {5}{19584}\) |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=0 \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{72}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {r \left (2+r \right )}{\left (8 r^{2}+26 r +21\right ) \left (8 r^{2}+58 r +105\right )}\) | \(\frac {5}{19584}\) |
| \(a_{5}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= \sqrt {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}\dots \right ) \\ &= \sqrt {x}\, \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{72}+\frac {5 x^{4}}{19584}+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 \(b_{0} = 1\). Substituting \(n = 1\) in Eq. (2B) gives \[ b_{1} = 0 \] For \(2\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} 8 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+2 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+b_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )}{8 n^{2}+16 n r +8 r^{2}-6 n -6 r +1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) becomes \[ b_{n} = \frac {-4 n b_{n -2}+7 b_{n -2}}{32 n^{2}-8 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.
| \(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\) |
| \(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{2}=-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) becomes \[ b_{2}=-{\frac {1}{112}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\) |
| \(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{112}}\) |
For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\) |
| \(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{112}}\) |
| \(b_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{4}=\frac {r \left (2+r \right )}{\left (8 r^{2}+26 r +21\right ) \left (8 r^{2}+58 r +105\right )} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{4}}\) becomes \[ b_{4}={\frac {3}{17920}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\) |
| \(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{2}\) | \(-\frac {r}{8 r^{2}+26 r +21}\) | \(-{\frac {1}{112}}\) |
| \(b_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{4}\) | \(\frac {r \left (2+r \right )}{\left (8 r^{2}+26 r +21\right ) \left (8 r^{2}+58 r +105\right )}\) | \(\frac {3}{17920}\) |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{5}=0 \] And the table now becomes

| \(b_{5}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= \sqrt {x} \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 ) \\ &= x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{112}+\frac {3 x^{4}}{17920}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \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} \sqrt {x}\, \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{72}+\frac {5 x^{4}}{19584}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{112}+\frac {3 x^{4}}{17920}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{72}+\frac {5 x^{4}}{19584}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{112}+\frac {3 x^{4}}{17920}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{72}+\frac {5 x^{4}}{19584}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{112}+\frac {3 x^{4}}{17920}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{72}+\frac {5 x^{4}}{19584}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_{2} x^{\frac {1}{4}} \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{112}+\frac {3 x^{4}}{17920}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \] Verified OK.
