26.10.1 Solving as second order bessel ode ode

Writing the ode as \begin {align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (x^{2} x^{2 n} a +b \,x^{n} x \right ) y = 0\tag {1} \end {align*}

Bessel ode has the form \begin {align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+y^{\prime } x +\left (-n^{2}+x^{2}\right ) y = 0\tag {2} \end {align*}

The generalized form of Bessel ode is given by Bowman (1958) as the following \begin {align*} x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }+\left (1-2 \alpha \right ) x y^{\prime }+\left (\beta ^{2} \gamma ^{2} x^{2 \gamma }-n^{2} \gamma ^{2}+\alpha ^{2}\right ) y = 0\tag {3} \end {align*}

With the standard solution \begin {align*} y&=x^{\alpha } \left (c_{1} \operatorname {BesselJ}\left (n , \beta \,x^{\gamma }\right )+c_{2} \operatorname {BesselY}\left (n , \beta \,x^{\gamma }\right )\right )\tag {4} \end {align*}

Comparing (3) to (1) and solving for \(\alpha ,\beta ,n,\gamma \) gives \begin {align*} \alpha &= {\frac {1}{2}}\\ \beta &= 2\\ n &= -1\\ \gamma &= {\frac {1}{2}} \end {align*}

Substituting all the above into (4) gives the solution as \begin {align*} y = -c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselJ}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right )-c_{2} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselY}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right ) \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= -c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselJ}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right )-c_{2} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselY}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = -c_{1} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselJ}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right )-c_{2} \sqrt {x}\, \operatorname {BesselY}\left (1, 2 \sqrt {x}\right ) \] Verified OK.
