Book : Own collection of miscellaneous problems
Section : section 5.0

CAS classification : [[_2nd_order, _missing_y]]

Solve

\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime }&=\frac {1}{x} \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.

\[ y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime } = 0 \]

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) &= 1\\ q(x) &= 0\\ \end{align*}

Table 118: Table \(p(x),q(x)\) singularites.

\(p(x)=1\)
singularity	type

\(q(x)=0\)
singularity	type

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

Regular singular points : \([]\)

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