Solve

\begin{align*} 2 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+x y^{\prime }+\left (x -5\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.

\[ 2 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+x y^{\prime }+\left (x -5\right ) y = 0 \]

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 {1}{2 x}\\ q(x) &= \frac {x -5}{2 x^{2}}\\ \end{align*}
Table 89: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.
\(p(x)=\frac {1}{2 x}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(q(x)=\frac {x -5}{2 x^{2}}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)

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

Regular singular points : \([0]\)

Irregular singular points : \([\infty ]\)

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

\[ 2 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+x y^{\prime }+\left (x -5\right ) y = 0 \]

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 (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2}\right )+x \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (x -5\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} 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 )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{1+n +r} a_{n}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-5 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^{1+n +r} a_{n} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}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 =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 }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =1}{\sum }}a_{n -1} x^{n +r}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-5 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ 2 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-5 a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \]

When \(n = 0\) the above becomes

\[ 2 x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+x^{r} a_{0} r -5 a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \]

Or

\[ \left (2 x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+x^{r} r -5 x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \]

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

\[ \left (2 r^{2}-r -5\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

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

\[ 2 r^{2}-r -5 = 0 \]

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

\begin{align*} r_1 &= \frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\\ r_2 &= \frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4} \end{align*}

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

\[ \left (2 r^{2}-r -5\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \(\left [\frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}, \frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\right ]\).

Since \(r_1 - r_2 = \frac {\sqrt {41}}{2}\) 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 {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +\frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{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 \(a_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} 2 a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+a_{n -1}-5 a_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -1}}{2 n^{2}+4 n r +2 r^{2}-n -r -5}\tag {4} \]

Which for the root \(r = \frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) becomes

\[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -1}}{n \left (\sqrt {41}+2 n \right )}\tag {5} \]

At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = \frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

Which for the root \(r = \frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) becomes

\[ a_{4}=\frac {1}{187320+29280 \sqrt {41}} \]

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

\[ a_{5}=-\frac {1}{32 r^{10}+880 r^{9}+10160 r^{8}+63800 r^{7}+234546 r^{6}+497255 r^{5}+518640 r^{4}+28325 r^{3}-443678 r^{2}-311960 r -36800} \]

Which for the root \(r = \frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) becomes

\[ a_{5}=-\frac {1}{600 \left (1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (10+\sqrt {41}\right )} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(-\frac {1}{2 r^{2}+3 r -4}\) \(\frac {1}{-2-\sqrt {41}}\)

\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {1}{16 r^{8}+288 r^{7}+2024 r^{6}+6912 r^{5}+11129 r^{4}+4662 r^{3}-7549 r^{2}-7362 r -920}\) \(\frac {1}{187320+29280 \sqrt {41}}\)
\(a_{5}\) \(-\frac {1}{32 r^{10}+880 r^{9}+10160 r^{8}+63800 r^{7}+234546 r^{6}+497255 r^{5}+518640 r^{4}+28325 r^{3}-443678 r^{2}-311960 r -36800}\) \(-\frac {1}{600 \left (1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (10+\sqrt {41}\right )}\)

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

\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \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}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \left (1+\frac {x}{-2-\sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{2}}{2 \left (2+\sqrt {41}\right ) \left (4+\sqrt {41}\right )}-\frac {x^{3}}{3240+510 \sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{4}}{187320+29280 \sqrt {41}}-\frac {x^{5}}{600 \left (1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (10+\sqrt {41}\right )}+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 \(b_{0} = 1\). For \(1\le n\) the recursive equation is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} 2 b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+b_{n -1}-5 b_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -1}}{2 n^{2}+4 n r +2 r^{2}-n -r -5}\tag {4} \]

Which for the root \(r = \frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) becomes

\[ b_{n} = \frac {b_{n -1}}{n \left (\sqrt {41}-2 n \right )}\tag {5} \]

At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before substituting \(r = \frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

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

\begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= x^{\frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \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}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \left (1+\frac {x}{-2+\sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{2}}{2 \left (-2+\sqrt {41}\right ) \left (-4+\sqrt {41}\right )}+\frac {x^{3}}{-3240+510 \sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{4}}{187320-29280 \sqrt {41}}-\frac {x^{5}}{600 \left (-1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (-10+\sqrt {41}\right )}+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 \,x^{\frac {1}{4}+\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \left (1+\frac {x}{-2-\sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{2}}{2 \left (2+\sqrt {41}\right ) \left (4+\sqrt {41}\right )}-\frac {x^{3}}{3240+510 \sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{4}}{187320+29280 \sqrt {41}}-\frac {x^{5}}{600 \left (1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (10+\sqrt {41}\right )}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + c_2 \,x^{\frac {1}{4}-\frac {\sqrt {41}}{4}} \left (1+\frac {x}{-2+\sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{2}}{2 \left (-2+\sqrt {41}\right ) \left (-4+\sqrt {41}\right )}+\frac {x^{3}}{-3240+510 \sqrt {41}}+\frac {x^{4}}{187320-29280 \sqrt {41}}-\frac {x^{5}}{600 \left (-1561+244 \sqrt {41}\right ) \left (-10+\sqrt {41}\right )}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Hence the final solution is
