Solve
\begin{align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-x y^{\prime }-\left (x^{2}+\frac {5}{4}\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.
\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-x y^{\prime }+\left (-x^{2}-\frac {5}{4}\right ) y = 0 \]
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}{x}\\ q(x) &= -\frac {4 x^{2}+5}{4 x^{2}}\\ \end{align*}

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
\[ x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-x y^{\prime }+\left (-x^{2}-\frac {5}{4}\right ) y = 0 \]
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 )-x \left (\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (n +r \right ) a_{n} x^{n +r -1}\right )+\left (-x^{2}-\frac {5}{4}\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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-x^{n +r +2} a_{n}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-\frac {5 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{4}\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 }}\left (-x^{n +r +2} a_{n}\right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -2} x^{n +r}\right ) \\
\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 )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =2}{\sum }}\left (-a_{n -2} x^{n +r}\right )+\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}\left (-\frac {5 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{4}\right ) = 0
\end{equation}
The indicial
equation is obtained from \(n = 0\). From Eq (2B) this gives
\[ x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right ) \left (n +r -1\right )-x^{n +r} a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-\frac {5 a_{n} x^{n +r}}{4} = 0 \]
When \(n = 0\) the above becomes
\[ x^{r} a_{0} r \left (-1+r \right )-x^{r} a_{0} r -\frac {5 a_{0} x^{r}}{4} = 0 \]
Or
\[ \left (x^{r} r \left (-1+r \right )-x^{r} r -\frac {5 x^{r}}{4}\right ) a_{0} = 0 \]
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the above simplifies to
\[ \frac {\left (4 r^{2}-8 r -5\right ) x^{r}}{4} = 0 \]
Since the above is true for all \(x\) then the
indicial equation becomes
\[ r^{2}-2 r -\frac {5}{4} = 0 \]
Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation as
\begin{align*} r_1 &= {\frac {5}{2}}\\ r_2 &= -{\frac {1}{2}} \end{align*}
Since \(a_{0}\neq 0\) then the indicial equation becomes
\[ \frac {\left (4 r^{2}-8 r -5\right ) x^{r}}{4} = 0 \]
Solving for \(r\) gives the roots of the indicial equation
as \(\left [{\frac {5}{2}}, -{\frac {1}{2}}\right ]\).
Since \(r_1 - r_2 = 3\) 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 ) &= x^{{5}/{2}} \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 )+\frac {\moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}b_{n} x^{n}}{\sqrt {x}} \end{align*}
Or
\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right ) &= \moverset {\infty }{\munderset {n =0}{\sum }}a_{n} x^{n +\frac {5}{2}}\\ 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 -\frac {1}{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 )-a_{n} \left (n +r \right )-a_{n -2}-\frac {5 a_{n}}{4} = 0
\end{equation}
Solving for \(a_{n}\) from recursive equation (4) gives
\[ a_{n} = \frac {4 a_{n -2}}{4 n^{2}+8 n r +4 r^{2}-8 n -8 r -5}\tag {4} \]
Which for the root \(r = {\frac {5}{2}}\)
becomes
\[ a_{n} = \frac {a_{n -2}}{n \left (n +3\right )}\tag {5} \]
At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(a_{n}\) in a table both before
substituting \(r = {\frac {5}{2}}\) and after as more terms are found using the above recursive equation.

Using the above table, then the solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\) is
\begin{align*} y_{1}\left (x \right )&= x^{{5}/{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 ) \\ &= x^{{5}/{2}} \left (1+\frac {x^{2}}{10}+\frac {x^{4}}{280}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) \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 \(N=3\).
Now we need to determine if \(C\) is zero or not. This is done by finding \(\lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}a_{3}\left (r \right )\). 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_{3} \\ &= 0 \end{align*}
Therefore
\begin{align*} \lim _{r\rightarrow r_{2}}0&= \lim _{r\rightarrow -{\frac {1}{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 -\frac {1}{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 )-b_{n} \left (n +r \right )-b_{n -2}-\frac {5 b_{n}}{4} = 0
\end{equation}
Which for for the root \(r = -{\frac {1}{2}}\)
becomes
\begin{equation}
\tag{4A} b_{n} \left (n -\frac {1}{2}\right ) \left (n -\frac {3}{2}\right )-b_{n} \left (n -\frac {1}{2}\right )-b_{n -2}-\frac {5 b_{n}}{4} = 0
\end{equation}
Solving for \(b_{n}\) from the recursive equation (4) gives
\[ b_{n} = \frac {4 b_{n -2}}{4 n^{2}+8 n r +4 r^{2}-8 n -8 r -5}\tag {5} \]
Which for the root \(r = -{\frac {1}{2}}\)
becomes
\[ b_{n} = \frac {4 b_{n -2}}{4 n^{2}-12 n}\tag {6} \]
At this point, it is a good idea to keep track of \(b_{n}\) in a table both before
substituting \(r = -{\frac {1}{2}}\) 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^{{5}/{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^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )}{\sqrt {x}} \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}/{2}} \left (1+\frac {x^{2}}{10}+\frac {x^{4}}{280}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right ) + \frac {c_2 \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{2}-\frac {x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{\sqrt {x}} \\
\end{align*}
Hence the final solution is
\begin{align*}
y &= y_h \\
&= c_1 \,x^{{5}/{2}} \left (1+\frac {x^{2}}{10}+\frac {x^{4}}{280}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )+\frac {c_2 \left (1-\frac {x^{2}}{2}-\frac {x^{4}}{8}+O\left (x^{6}\right )\right )}{\sqrt {x}} \\
\end{align*}
