The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "reduction_of_order", "second_order_change_of_variable_on_y_method_2", "second_order_ode_non_constant_coeff_transformation_on_B"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_2nd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]

\[ \boxed {\left (x^{2}+1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }-2 y^{\prime } x +2 y=0} \] Given that one solution of the ode is \begin {align*} y_1 &= x \end {align*}

Given one basis solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\), then the second basis solution is given by \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = y_{1} \left (\int \frac {{\mathrm e}^{-\left (\int p d x \right )}}{y_{1}^{2}}d x \right ) \] Where \(p(x)\) is the coefficient of \(y^{\prime }\) when the ode is written in the normal form \[ y^{\prime \prime }+p \left (x \right ) y^{\prime }+q \left (x \right ) y = f \left (x \right ) \] Looking at the ode to solve shows that \[ p \left (x \right ) = -\frac {2 x}{x^{2}+1} \] Therefore \begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \left (\int \frac {{\mathrm e}^{-\left (\int -\frac {2 x}{x^{2}+1}d x \right )}}{x^{2}}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \int \frac {x^{2}+1}{x^{2}} , dx \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \left (\int \frac {x^{2}+1}{x^{2}}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \left (x -\frac {1}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*} Hence the solution is \begin{align*} y &= c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \\ &= c_{1} x +c_{2} x \left (x -\frac {1}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x +c_{2} x \left (x -\frac {1}{x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = c_{1} x +c_{2} x \left (x -\frac {1}{x}\right ) \] Verified OK.
