Frobenius method solution of this nasty 2nd order Linear ODE

150 Views Asked by At

I've tried but can't get the solution of this ode by Frobenius method.

$(x^2)y''-6y=0$

I tried with $y=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(a_k \cdot x^{(k+r)})$ where $a_k$ is coefficient. I can't find the recurrence relation. If any one finds the recurrence relation, that'll do it.

By Frobenius, the relation between coefficients is

$$x^2k(k-1)a_kx^{k-2}-6a_k=0,$$ i.e. $$a_k=0\lor k(k-1)=6,$$ hence the only nonzero terms are

$$a_3x^3+a_{-2}x^{-2}.$$
