Solve

\begin{align*} 2 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+x +1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+x \left (11 x^{2}+11 x +9\right ) y^{\prime }+\left (7 x^{2}+10 x +6\right ) y&=0 \end{align*}

Using series expansion around \(x=0\)

The type of the expansion point is first determined. This is done on the homogeneous part of the ODE.

\[ \left (2 x^{4}+2 x^{3}+2 x^{2}\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (11 x^{3}+11 x^{2}+9 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (7 x^{2}+10 x +6\right ) y = 0 \]

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 {11 x^{2}+11 x +9}{2 x \left (x^{2}+x +1\right )}\\ q(x) &= \frac {7 x^{2}+10 x +6}{2 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+x +1\right )}\\ \end{align*}
Table 2.80: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.
\(p(x)=\frac {11 x^{2}+11 x +9}{2 x \left (x^{2}+x +1\right )}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = -\frac {1}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = -\frac {1}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(q(x)=\frac {7 x^{2}+10 x +6}{2 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+x +1\right )}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = -\frac {1}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(x = -\frac {1}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}\) \(\text {``regular''}\)

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

Regular singular points : \(\left [0, -\frac {1}{2}-\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}, -\frac {1}{2}+\frac {i \sqrt {3}}{2}, \infty \right ]\)

Irregular singular points : \([]\)

Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to be

\[ 2 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+x +1\right ) y^{\prime \prime }+\left (11 x^{3}+11 x^{2}+9 x \right ) y^{\prime }+\left (7 x^{2}+10 x +6\right ) y = 0 \]

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} 2 x^{2} \left (x^{2}+x +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 (11 x^{3}+11 x^{2}+9 x \right ) \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (7 x^{2}+10 x +6\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 }}2 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}11 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}11 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}7 x^{n +r +2} a_{n}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}10 x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}6 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 }}2 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}2 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}11 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}11 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}11 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}11 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}7 x^{n +r +2} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}7 a_{n -2} x^{n +r} \\ \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}10 x^{1+n +r} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}10 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 =2}{\sum }}2 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \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 ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}11 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}11 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}7 a_{n -2} x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}10 a_{n -1} x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}6 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation}

The indicial equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives

\[ 2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+6 a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \]

When \(n = 0\) the above becomes

\[ 2 x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+9 x^{r} a_{0} r +6 a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \]

Or

\[ \left (2 x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+9 x^{r} r +6 x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \]

Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to

\[ \left (2 r^{2}+7 r +6\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the indicial equation becomes

\[ 2 r^{2}+7 r +6 = 0 \]

Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as

\begin{align*} r_1 &= -{\frac {3}{2}}\\ r_2 &= -2 \end{align*}

Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes

\[ \left (2 r^{2}+7 r +6\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [-{\frac {3}{2}}, -2\right ]\).

Since \(r_1 - r_2 = {\frac {1}{2}}\) 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 {3}{2}}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -2} \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

\[ a_{1} = \frac {-r -2}{r +3} \]

For \(2\le n\) the recursive equation is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} 2 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right )+2 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right )+2 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+11 a_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+11 a_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+9 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+7 a_{n -2}+10 a_{n -1}+6 a_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives

\[ a_{n} = -\frac {n a_{n -2}+n a_{n -1}+r a_{n -2}+r a_{n -1}-a_{n -2}+a_{n -1}}{n +r +2}\tag {4} \]

Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) becomes

\[ a_{n} = \frac {\left (-2 a_{n -2}-2 a_{n -1}\right ) n +5 a_{n -2}+a_{n -1}}{2 n +1}\tag {5} \]

At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)

For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ a_{2}=\frac {1}{4+r} \]

Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) becomes

\[ a_{2}={\frac {2}{5}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {2}{5}\)

For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ a_{3}=\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) becomes

\[ a_{3}=-{\frac {5}{21}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {2}{5}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {5}{21}}\)

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ a_{4}=\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) becomes

\[ a_{4}={\frac {7}{135}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {2}{5}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {5}{21}}\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )}\) \(\frac {7}{135}\)

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ a_{5}=\frac {2 r^{3}+18 r^{2}+52 r +49}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right ) \left (5+r \right ) \left (7+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {3}{2}}\) becomes

\[ a_{5}={\frac {76}{1155}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(a_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {2}{5}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {5}{21}}\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )}\) \(\frac {7}{135}\)
\(a_{5}\) \(\frac {2 r^{3}+18 r^{2}+52 r +49}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right ) \left (5+r \right ) \left (7+r \right )}\) \(\frac {76}{1155}\)

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is

\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= \frac {1}{x^{{3}/{2}}} \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 {x}{3}+\frac {2 x^{2}}{5}-\frac {5 x^{3}}{21}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{135}+\frac {76 x^{5}}{1155}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x^{{3}/{2}}} \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

\[ b_{1} = \frac {-r -2}{r +3} \]

For \(2\le n\) the recursive equation is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} 2 b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right ) \left (n -3+r \right )+2 b_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right ) \left (n +r -2\right )+2 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+11 b_{n -2} \left (n +r -2\right )+11 b_{n -1} \left (n +r -1\right )+9 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+7 b_{n -2}+10 b_{n -1}+6 b_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

Solving for \(b_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives

\[ b_{n} = -\frac {n b_{n -2}+n b_{n -1}+r b_{n -2}+r b_{n -1}-b_{n -2}+b_{n -1}}{n +r +2}\tag {4} \]

Which for the root \(r = -2\) becomes

\[ b_{n} = \frac {\left (-b_{n -2}-b_{n -1}\right ) n +3 b_{n -2}+b_{n -1}}{n}\tag {5} \]

At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = -2\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

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

For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ b_{2}=\frac {1}{4+r} \]

Which for the root \(r = -2\) becomes

\[ b_{2}={\frac {1}{2}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {1}{2}\)

For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ b_{3}=\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -2\) becomes

\[ b_{3}=-{\frac {1}{3}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {1}{2}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)

For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ b_{4}=\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -2\) becomes

\[ b_{4}={\frac {1}{8}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {1}{2}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )}\) \(\frac {1}{8}\)

For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives

\[ b_{5}=\frac {2 r^{3}+18 r^{2}+52 r +49}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right ) \left (5+r \right ) \left (7+r \right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -2\) becomes

\[ b_{5}={\frac {1}{30}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(\frac {-r -2}{r +3}\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(\frac {1}{4+r}\) \(\frac {1}{2}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(\frac {r^{2}+3 r +1}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (5+r \right )}\) \(-{\frac {1}{3}}\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {-r^{3}-8 r^{2}-19 r -13}{\left (6+r \right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right )}\) \(\frac {1}{8}\)
\(b_{5}\) \(\frac {2 r^{3}+18 r^{2}+52 r +49}{\left (r +3\right ) \left (4+r \right ) \left (5+r \right ) \left (7+r \right )}\) \(\frac {1}{30}\)

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is

\begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= \frac {1}{x^{{3}/{2}}} \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 {x^{2}}{2}-\frac {x^{3}}{3}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}+\frac {x^{5}}{30}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x^{2}} \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 {x}{3}+\frac {2 x^{2}}{5}-\frac {5 x^{3}}{21}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{135}+\frac {76 x^{5}}{1155}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x^{{3}/{2}}} + \frac {c_2 \left (1+\frac {x^{2}}{2}-\frac {x^{3}}{3}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}+\frac {x^{5}}{30}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x^{2}} \\ \end{align*}

Hence the final solution is

\begin{align*} y &= y_h \\ &= \frac {c_1 \left (1-\frac {x}{3}+\frac {2 x^{2}}{5}-\frac {5 x^{3}}{21}+\frac {7 x^{4}}{135}+\frac {76 x^{5}}{1155}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x^{{3}/{2}}}+\frac {c_2 \left (1+\frac {x^{2}}{2}-\frac {x^{3}}{3}+\frac {x^{4}}{8}+\frac {x^{5}}{30}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x^{2}} \\ \end{align*}
