Overview An Example Double Check
What is the Method of Frobenius?
1. The method of Frobenius works for differential equations
of the form y

+P(x)y

+Q(x)y = 0 in which P or Q is not

analytic at the point of expansion x
0
.
2. But P and Q cannot be arbitrary: (x x
0
)P(x) and
(x x
0
)
2
Q(x) must be analytic at x
0
.
3. Instead of a series solution y =

n=0
c
n
(x x
0
)
n
, we obtain a
solution of the form y =

n=0
c
n
(x x
0
)
n+r
.
4. The method of Frobenius is guaranteed to produce one
solution, but it may not produce two linearly independent
solutions.

5. As for series solutions, we substitute the series and its
derivatives into the equation to obtain an equation for r and
a set of equations for the c
n
.
6. These equations will allow us to compute r and the c
n
.
7. For each value of r (typically there are two), we can
compute the solution just like for series.
Thats it.

As for series solutions, because the solution is a truncated
series,we cannot expect that the differential equation is exactly
satised.

As before, for a correct approximation, low order terms should
cancel.
We went to order
14
3
for the rst solution and to order
13
3
for
the second solution.
And, of course, we use a computer algebra system.
