Solve

\begin{align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+4 x y^{\prime }+\left (x^{2}+2\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.

\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+4 x y^{\prime }+\left (x^{2}+2\right ) y = 0 \]

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 {4}{x}\\ q(x) &= \frac {x^{2}+2}{x^{2}}\\ \end{align*}
Table 94: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.
\(p(x)=\frac {4}{x}\)
singularity type
\(x = 0\) \(\text {``regular''}\)
\(q(x)=\frac {x^{2}+2}{x^{2}}\)
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

\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+4 x y^{\prime }+\left (x^{2}+2\right ) y = 0 \]

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 (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -2}\right )+4 x \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (x^{2}+2\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} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}4 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r +2} a_{n}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 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} &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}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 =0}{\sum }}x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}4 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}a_{n -2} x^{n +r}\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}2 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+4 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+2 a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \]

When \(n = 0\) the above becomes

\[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )+4 x^{r} a_{0} r +2 a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \]

Or

\[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )+4 x^{r} r +2 x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \]

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

\[ \left (r^{2}+3 r +2\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

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

\[ r^{2}+3 r +2 = 0 \]

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

\begin{align*} r_1 &= -1\\ r_2 &= -2 \end{align*}

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

\[ \left (r^{2}+3 r +2\right ) x^{r} = 0 \]

Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as \([-1, -2]\).

Since \(r_1 - r_2 = 1\) is 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 ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \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 ) &= \frac {\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n}}{x}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\frac {\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n}}{x^{2}} \end{align*}

Or

\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n -1}\\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= C y_{1}\left (x \right ) \ln \left (x \right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -2}\right ) \end{align*}

Where \(C\) above can be zero. We start by finding \(y_{1}\). 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} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+4 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+a_{n -2}+2 a_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ a_{n} = -\frac {a_{n -2}}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}+3 n +3 r +2}\tag {4} \]

Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes

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

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

\[ a_{2}=-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12} \]

Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes

\[ a_{2}=-{\frac {1}{6}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{6}}\)

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

\[ a_{3}=0 \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{6}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)

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

\[ a_{4}=\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +5\right )} \]

Which for the root \(r = -1\) becomes

\[ a_{4}={\frac {1}{120}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{6}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +5\right )}\) \(\frac {1}{120}\)

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

\[ a_{5}=0 \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(a_{n ,r}\) \(a_{n}\)
\(a_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(a_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{6}}\)
\(a_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(a_{4}\) \(\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +5\right )}\) \(\frac {1}{120}\)
\(a_{5}\) \(0\) \(0\)

Using the above table, then the 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 {x^{2}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{120}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{x} \end{align*}

Now the second solution \(y_{2}\left (x \right )\) is found. Let

\[ r_{1}-r_{2} = N \]

Where \(N\) is positive integer which is the difference between the two roots. \(r_{1}\) is taken as the larger root. Hence for this problem we have \(N=1\). Now we need to determine if \(C\) is zero or not. This is done by finding \(\lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}a_{1}\left (r \right )\). If this limit exists, then \(C = 0\), else we need to keep the log term and \(C \neq 0\). The above table shows that

\begin{align*} a_N &= a_{1} \\ &= 0 \end{align*}

Therefore

\begin{align*} \lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}0&= \lim _{r\rightarrow -2}0\\ &= 0 \end{align*}

The limit is \(0\). Since the limit exists then the log term is not needed and we can set \(C = 0\). Therefore the second solution has the form

\begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n +r}\\ &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n -2} \end{align*}

Eq (3) derived above is 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(3) gives

\[ b_{1} = 0 \]

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

\begin{equation} \tag{4} b_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )+4 b_{n} \left (n +r \right )+b_{n -2}+2 b_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

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

\begin{equation} \tag{4A} b_{n} \left (n -2\right ) \left (n -3\right )+4 b_{n} \left (n -2\right )+b_{n -2}+2 b_{n} = 0 \end{equation}

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

\[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -2}}{n^{2}+2 n r +r^{2}+3 n +3 r +2}\tag {5} \]

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

\[ b_{n} = -\frac {b_{n -2}}{n^{2}-n}\tag {6} \]

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.

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

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

\[ b_{2}=-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12} \]

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

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

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{2}}\)

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

\[ b_{3}=0 \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)

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

\[ b_{4}=\frac {1}{\left (r^{2}+7 r +12\right ) \left (r^{2}+11 r +30\right )} \]

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

\[ b_{4}={\frac {1}{24}} \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +5\right )}\) \(\frac {1}{24}\)

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

\[ b_{5}=0 \]

And the table now becomes

\(n\) \(b_{n ,r}\) \(b_{n}\)
\(b_{0}\) \(1\) \(1\)
\(b_{1}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{2}\) \(-\frac {1}{r^{2}+7 r +12}\) \(-{\frac {1}{2}}\)
\(b_{3}\) \(0\) \(0\)
\(b_{4}\) \(\frac {1}{\left (r +4\right ) \left (r +3\right ) \left (r +6\right ) \left (r +5\right )}\) \(\frac {1}{24}\)
\(b_{5}\) \(0\) \(0\)

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

\begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right )&= \frac {1}{x} \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^{4}}{24}+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^{2}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{120}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x} + \frac {c_2 \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{2}+\frac {x^{4}}{24}+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^{2}}{6}+\frac {x^{4}}{120}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x}+\frac {c_2 \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{2}+\frac {x^{4}}{24}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{x^{2}} \\ \end{align*}
