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]]

\[ \boxed {3 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+5 x \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime }-\left (-5 x^{2}+1\right ) y=0} \] 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. \[ \left (3 x^{4}+3 x^{2}\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (5 x^{3}+5 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (5 x^{2}-1\right ) y = 0 \] 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}{3 x}\\ q(x) &= \frac {5 x^{2}-1}{3 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\\ \end {align*}

Table 316: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.
\(p(x)=\frac {5}{3 x}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(q(x)=\frac {5 x^{2}-1}{3 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = -i\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = i\) \(\text {``regular''}\)

Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode as

Regular singular points : \([0, -i, i, \infty ]\)

Irregular singular points : \([]\)

Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be \[ 3 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (5 x^{3}+5 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (5 x^{2}-1\right ) y = 0 \] 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} 3 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+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 (5 x^{3}+5 x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (5 x^{2}-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 }}3 x^{n +r +2} 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^{n +r +2} 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 }}5 x^{n +r +2} 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 }}3 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}3 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}5 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}5 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}5 a_{n -2} 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 =2}{\sum }}3 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \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 =2}{\sum }}5 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\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 =2}{\sum }}5 a_{n -2} 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 \(a_{0} = 1\). Substituting \(n = 1\) in Eq. (2B) gives \[ a_{1} = 0 \] For \(2\le n\) the recursive equation is \begin{equation} \tag{3} 3 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right )+3 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+5 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+5 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+5 a_{n -2}-a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -2} \left (3 n^{2}+6 n r +3 r^{2}-10 n -10 r +13\right )}{3 n^{2}+6 n r +3 r^{2}+2 n +2 r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -2} \left (3 n^{2}-8 n +10\right )}{3 n^{2}+4 n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) 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 \[ a_{2}=\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{2}=-{\frac {3}{10}} \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{10}}\)

For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{10}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825} \] Which for the root \(r = {\frac {1}{3}}\) becomes \[ a_{4}={\frac {39}{320}} \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{10}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825}\) \(\frac {39}{320}\)

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=0 \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{10}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825}\) \(\frac {39}{320}\)
\(a_{5}\) \(0\) \(0\)

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 {3 x^{2}}{10}+\frac {39 x^{4}}{320}+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} 3 b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right )+3 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+5 b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+5 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+5 b_{n -2}-b_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -2} \left (3 n^{2}+6 n r +3 r^{2}-10 n -10 r +13\right )}{3 n^{2}+6 n r +3 r^{2}+2 n +2 r -1}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -2} \left (3 n^{2}-16 n +26\right )}{3 n^{2}-4 n}\tag {5} \] 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.

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)

For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{2}=\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{2}=-{\frac {3}{2}} \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\)

For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{4}=\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ b_{4}={\frac {15}{32}} \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825}\) \(\frac {15}{32}\)

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ b_{5}=0 \] And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {-3 r^{2}-2 r -5}{3 r^{2}+14 r +15}\) \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {9 r^{4}+48 r^{3}+106 r^{2}+112 r +105}{9 r^{4}+120 r^{3}+574 r^{2}+1160 r +825}\) \(\frac {15}{32}\)
\(b_{5}\) \(0\) \(0\)

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-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{32}+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 {3 x^{2}}{10}+\frac {39 x^{4}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{32}+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 {3 x^{2}}{10}+\frac {39 x^{4}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}+\frac {39 x^{4}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = c_{1} x^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{10}+\frac {39 x^{4}}{320}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_{2} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} \] Verified OK.
