MA207 - Tutorial Sheet 3

August 24, 2021

1. Attempt a power series solution around x = 0 for x2 y 00 − (1 + x)y = 0.


Explain why the procedure does not give any nontrivial solutions.

2. Attempt a Frobenius series solution for the differential equation


x2 y 00 + (3x − 1)y 0 + y = 0. Why does the method fail?

3. Locate and classify the singular points for the following differential equations.
(All letters other than x and y such as p, λ, etc are constants.)

(a) Bessel equation: x2 y 00 + xy 0 + (x2 − p2 )y = 0.


(b) Laguerre equation: xy 00 + (1 − x)y 0 + λy = 0.
(c) Jacobi equation: x(1 − x)y 00 + (γ − (α + 1)x)y 0 + n(n + α)y = 0.
(d) Hypergeometric equation: x(1 − x)y 00 + [c − (a + b + 1)x)]y 0 − aby = 0.
