The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "second order series method. Regular singular point. Repeated root"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_2nd_order, _exact, _linear, _homogeneous]]
\[ \boxed {x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+x \left (8 x^{2}+3\right ) y^{\prime }+\left (12 x^{2}+1\right ) y=0} \] 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. \[ \left (x^{4}+x^{2}\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (8 x^{3}+3 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (12 x^{2}+1\right ) y = 0 \] 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 {8 x^{2}+3}{x \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\\ q(x) &= \frac {12 x^{2}+1}{x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\\ \end {align*}
| \(p(x)=\frac {8 x^{2}+3}{x \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\) | |
| singularity | type |
| \(x = 0\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(x = -i\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(x = i\) | \(\text {``regular''}\) |
| \(q(x)=\frac {12 x^{2}+1}{x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right )}\) | |
| 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 \[ x^{2} \left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (8 x^{3}+3 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (12 x^{2}+1\right ) y = 0 \] 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} 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 (8 x^{3}+3 x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (12 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 }}x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}8 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}12 x^{n +r +2} a_{n}\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 ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}8 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}8 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}12 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}12 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 }}a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}8 a_{n -2} \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 )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}12 a_{n -2} x^{n +r}\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 \[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+3 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \] When \(n = 0\) the above becomes \[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 x^{r} a_{0} r +a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \] Or \[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+3 x^{r} r +x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \] Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to \[ \left (r +1\right )^{2} x^{r} = 0 \] Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (r +1\right )^{2} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \begin {align*} r_1 &= -1\\ r_2 &= -1 \end {align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes \[ \left (r +1\right )^{2} x^{r} = 0 \] Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \([-1, -1]\).
Since the root of the indicial equation is repeated, then we can construct two linearly independent solutions. The first solution has the form \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +r}\tag {1A} \end {align*}
Now the second solution \(y_{2}\) is found using \begin {align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\right )\tag {1B} \end {align*}
Then the general solution will be \[ y = c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \] In Eq (1B) the sum starts from 1 and not zero. In Eq (1A), \(a_{0}\) is never zero, and is arbitrary and is typically taken as \(a_{0} = 1\), and \(\{c_{1}, c_{2}\}\) are two arbitray constants of integration which can be found from initial conditions. Using the value of the indicial root found earlier, \(r = -1\), Eqs (1A,1B) become \begin {align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n -1}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -1}\right ) \end {align*}
We start by finding the first solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\). 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} a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right )+a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+8 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+3 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+12 a_{n -2}+a_{n} = 0 \end{equation} Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives \[ a_{n} = -\frac {\left (n +r +2\right ) a_{n -2}}{1+n +r}\tag {4} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ a_{n} = -\frac {\left (n +1\right ) a_{n -2}}{n}\tag {5} \] At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = -1\) 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 \[ a_{2}=\frac {-4-r}{3+r} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ a_{2}=-{\frac {3}{2}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(\frac {-4-r}{3+r}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\) |
For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{3}=0 \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(\frac {-4-r}{3+r}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{4}=\frac {r^{2}+10 r +24}{\left (5+r \right ) \left (3+r \right )} \] Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes \[ a_{4}={\frac {15}{8}} \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(\frac {-4-r}{3+r}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {r^{2}+10 r +24}{\left (5+r \right ) \left (3+r \right )}\) | \(\frac {15}{8}\) |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives \[ a_{5}=0 \] And the table now becomes
| \(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| \(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| \(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{2}\) | \(\frac {-4-r}{3+r}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\) |
| \(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(a_{4}\) | \(\frac {r^{2}+10 r +24}{\left (5+r \right ) \left (3+r \right )}\) | \(\frac {15}{8}\) |
| \(a_{5}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
Using the above table, then the first solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is \begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= \frac {1}{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 ) \\ &= \frac {1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x} \\ \end{align*} Now the second solution is found. The second solution is given by \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) \] Where \(b_{n}\) is found using \[ b_{n} = \frac {d}{d r}a_{n ,r} \] And the above is then evaluated at \(r = -1\). The above table for \(a_{n ,r}\) is used for this purpose. Computing the derivatives gives the following table
| \(n\) | \(b_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) | \(b_{n ,r} = \frac {d}{d r}a_{n ,r}\) | \(b_{n}\left (r =-1\right )\) |
| \(b_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) | N/A since \(b_{n}\) starts from 1 | N/A |
| \(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{2}\) | \(\frac {-4-r}{3+r}\) | \(-{\frac {3}{2}}\) | \(\frac {1}{\left (3+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(\frac {1}{4}\) |
| \(b_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| \(b_{4}\) | \(\frac {r^{2}+10 r +24}{\left (5+r \right ) \left (3+r \right )}\) | \(\frac {15}{8}\) | \(\frac {-2 r^{2}-18 r -42}{\left (5+r \right )^{2} \left (3+r \right )^{2}}\) | \(-{\frac {13}{32}}\) |
| \(b_{5}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
The above table gives all values of \(b_{n}\) needed. Hence the second solution is \begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&=y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+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 \\ &= \frac {\left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{x}+\frac {\frac {x^{2}}{4}-\frac {13 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 ) \\ &= \frac {c_{1} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} + c_{2} \left (\frac {\left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{x}+\frac {\frac {x^{2}}{4}-\frac {13 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the final solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= \frac {c_{1} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x}+c_{2} \left (\frac {\left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{x}+\frac {\frac {x^{2}}{4}-\frac {13 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= \frac {c_{1} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x}+c_{2} \left (\frac {\left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{x}+\frac {\frac {x^{2}}{4}-\frac {13 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = \frac {c_{1} \left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x}+c_{2} \left (\frac {\left (1-\frac {3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac {15 x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )}{x}+\frac {\frac {x^{2}}{4}-\frac {13 x^{4}}{32}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x}\right ) \] Verified OK.
