31. Section 3.2Series Solutions near Ordinary Points

32. Question - Solve x2y′ – y = –x – 1 The power series method (learned in the last section) would produce the following answer: Something's wrong with this solution though.

33. Definition: A function f (x) is analytic at a point x = c if there is a power series expansion of f (x) which converges on some interval that contains x = c. Definition: Given the differential equation y″ + P(x) y′ + Q(x) y = 0, we say that x = c is an ordinary point if both P(x) and Q(x) are analytic at x = c. Otherwise, x = c is said to be a singular point.

34. Ex. 1 Identify the singular points for each of the following differential equations. (a)x2y″ + y′ + x5y = 0

35. Ex. 1 Identify the singular points for each of the following differential equations. (b) (x2 – 1) y″ + sin(x) y′ + x3y = 0

36. Ex. 1 Identify the singular points for each of the following differential equations. (c)x2 y″ + x3y′ + x5y = 0

37. Ex. 1 Identify the singular points for each of the following differential equations. (d)x y″ + sin(x) y′ + 3x10y = 0

38. Ex. 1 Identify the singular points for each of the following differential equations. (e)y″ + x1/2y = 0

39. Theorem: Suppose that x = c is an ordinary point of the differential equation y″ + P(x) y′ + Q(x) y = 0. Then this differential equation has two linearly independent solutions: The radius of convergence of any such series solution is at least as large as the distance from c to the nearest (real or complex) singular point.

40. Ex. 2 Determine if the theorem guarantees a power series (in powers of x) solution for each of the following. If a power series solution is guaranteed then give the guaranteed radius of convergence. (a)x2y″ + y′ + x5y = 0

42. Ex. 2 Determine if the theorem guarantees a power series (in powers of x) solution for each of the following. If a power series solution is guaranteed then give the guaranteed radius of convergence. (c) (x2 + 64)y″ + y′ + x5y = 0

43. Ex. 2 Determine if the theorem guarantees a power series (in powers of x) solution for each of the following. If a power series solution is guaranteed then give the guaranteed radius of convergence. (d) (x2 – 6x + 58)y″ + 3x10y = 0

46. Ex. 3 Solve the following initial value problem: xy″ + y′ + y = 0, y(3) = 4, y′(3) = 5. (Actually let's just set this one up as if we were going to solve it with power series, but let's not actually go through all the steps of solving it!)
