TUTORIAL 2-WEEK 2-Series Solution-Ordinary

This document provides tutorials on finding series solutions near ordinary points for different differential equations: 1) Finds the recurrence relation and first three terms of the series solutions for y'' + 12xy' = 0 near x=0. 2) Finds the general series solution up to (x-2)3 for y'' + (x-1)y' + y = 0 near x=2. 3) Finds the general series solution up to (x-1)3 for (x+1)y'' + 2y''' + y = x - ln(x) near x=1.

1. Consider the differential equation dx 2 dx .
i) Is x=0 is an ordinary point? Justify your answer.
ii) Show that the recurrence relation at x=0 is
[ n(n−1 )+12 n ] a n
an+2 =
(n+2)( n+1 )
iii) Thus, find the first three nonzero terms for the two linearly
independent series solutions.
