Solve
\begin{align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-9 x y^{\prime }+25 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.
\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-9 x y^{\prime }+25 y = 0 \]
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 {9}{x}\\ q(x) &= \frac {25}{x^{2}}\\ \end{align*}
Table 100: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.

\(p(x)=-\frac {9}{x}\) |

Combining everything together gives the following summary of singularities for the ode
as
Regular singular points : \([0, \infty ]\)
Irregular singular points : \([]\)
Since \(x = 0\) is regular singular point, then Frobenius power series is used. The ode is normalized to
be
\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-9 x y^{\prime }+25 y = 0 \]
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 )-9 x \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+25 \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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}25 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 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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}25 a_{n} x^{n +r}\right ) = 0
\end{equation}
The indicial
equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives
\[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )-9 x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+25 a_{n} x^{n +r} = 0 \]
When \(n = 0\) the above becomes
\[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )-9 x^{r} a_{0} r +25 a_{0} x^{r} = 0 \]
Or
\[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )-9 x^{r} r +25 x^{r}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \]
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to
\[ \left (r -5\right )^{2} x^{r} = 0 \]
Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the
indicial equation becomes
\[ \left (r -5\right )^{2} = 0 \]
Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as
\begin{align*} r_1 &= 5\\ r_2 &= 5 \end{align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes
\[ \left (r -5\right )^{2} x^{r} = 0 \]
Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation
as \([5, 5]\).
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, \(r = 5\), Eqs (1A,1B) become
\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +5}\\ 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 +5}\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 \(a_{0} = 1\). For \(0\le n\) the recursive equation is
\begin{equation}
\tag{3} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )-9 a_{n} \left (n +r \right )+25 a_{n} = 0
\end{equation}
Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation
(4) gives
\[ a_{n} = 0\tag {4} \]
Which for the root \(r = 5\) becomes
\[ a_{n} = 0\tag {5} \]
At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a
table both before substituting \(r = 5\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive
equation.
| | |
\(n\) | \(a_{n ,r}\) | \(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) | \(1\) | \(1\) |
| | |
For \(n = 1\), using the above recursive equation gives
\[ a_{1}=0 \]
And the table now becomes
| | |
\(n\) |
\(a_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) |
\(1\) | \(1\) |
| | |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
For \(n = 2\), using the above recursive equation gives
\[ a_{2}=0 \]
And the table now becomes
| | |
\(n\) |
\(a_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) |
\(1\) | \(1\) |
| | |
\(a_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{2}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
For \(n = 3\), using the above recursive equation gives
\[ a_{3}=0 \]
And the table now becomes
| | |
\(n\) |
\(a_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) |
\(1\) |
\(1\) |
| | |
\(a_{1}\) |
\(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{2}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{3}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | |
For \(n = 4\), using the above recursive equation gives
\[ a_{4}=0 \]
And the table now becomes
| | |
\(n\) |
\(a_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) |
\(1\) |
\(1\) |
| | |
\(a_{1}\) |
\(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{2}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{4}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | |
For \(n = 5\), using the above recursive equation gives
\[ a_{5}=0 \]
And the table now becomes
| | |
\(n\) |
\(a_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
| | |
\(a_{0}\) |
\(1\) |
\(1\) |
| | |
\(a_{1}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{2}\) |
\(0\) | \(0\) |

\(a_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{4}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | |
\(a_{5}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | |
Using the above table, then the first solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is
\begin{align*}
y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{5} \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^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\
\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 \(r = 5\). The
above table for \(a_{n ,r}\) is used for this purpose. Computing the derivatives gives the following table
| | | | |
\(n\) |
\(b_{n ,r}\) |
\(a_{n}\) |
\(b_{n ,r} = \frac {d}{d r}a_{n ,r}\) |
\(b_{n}\left (r =5\right )\) |
| | | | |
\(b_{0}\) |
\(1\) |
\(1\) |
N/A since \(b_{n}\) starts from 1 |
N/A |
| | | | |
\(b_{1}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | | | |
\(b_{2}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | | | |
\(b_{3}\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) | \(0\) |
| | | | |
\(b_{4}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | | | |
\(b_{5}\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
\(0\) |
| | | | |
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 \\
&= x^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+x^{5} O\left (x^{6}\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^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + c_2 \left (x^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+x^{5} O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\
\end{align*}
Hence the final solution is
\begin{align*}
y &= y_h \\
&= c_1 \,x^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+c_2 \left (x^{5} \left (1+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \ln \left (x \right )+x^{5} O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \\
\end{align*}
