Tutorial 14 Frobenius Method

This document outlines a tutorial on the Frobenius method for solving ordinary differential equations. It contains 3 parts: Part I uses reduction of order to find a second solution to complement known first solutions; Part II discusses when Frobenius series solutions do or do not exist for two equations; Part III applies the Frobenius method directly to find the solution basis for 5 equations.

TUTORIAL 14: Frobenius Method

Part I: Using method of reduction of order, find y2 such that y1, y2 form a basis.

1. 2𝑡 2 𝑦 ′′ + 𝑡𝑦 ′ − 3𝑦 = 0, 𝑦1 (𝑡) = 𝑡 −1 , 𝑡≠0

2. 𝑡 2 𝑦 ′′ − (𝑡 2 + 2𝑡)𝑦 ′ + (𝑡 + 2)𝑦 = 0, 𝑦1 (𝑡) = 𝑡

3. 𝑦 ′′ + 6𝑦 ′ + 9𝑦 = 0, 𝑦1 (𝑡) = 𝑒 −3𝑡

4. (𝑥 − 1)𝑦 ′′ − 𝑥𝑦 ′ + 𝑦 = 0, 𝑦1 (𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 , 𝑥>1

5. 𝑥𝑦 ′′ − 𝑦 ′ + 4𝑥 3 𝑦 = 0, 𝑦1 (𝑥) = sin 𝑥 2 , 𝑥>0

Part II: Discuss whether two Frobenius series solutions exist or do not exist for the following
equations.

1. 2𝑥 2 𝑦 ′′ + 𝑥(𝑥 + 1)𝑦 ′ − (cos 𝑥)𝑦 = 0

2. 𝑥 4 𝑦 ′′ − (𝑥 2 sin 𝑥)𝑦 ′ + 2(1 − cos 𝑥)𝑦 = 0

Part III: Apply Frobenius Method to find the basis of solutions of the following differential
equations.

1. 2𝑥𝑦 ′′ + 𝑦 ′ + 𝑦 = 0

2. 𝑥𝑦′′ + 2𝑦 ′ + 𝑥𝑦 = 0

3. 𝑥𝑦 ′′ + (1 − 2𝑥)𝑦 ′ + (𝑥 − 1)𝑦 = 0

4. 2𝑡𝑦 ′′ + (1 + 𝑡)𝑦 ′ + 𝑦 = 0

5. 𝑥(1 − 𝑥)𝑦 ′′ − 3𝑥𝑦 ′ − 𝑦 = 0
