4.2 The Method of Frobenius: Solutions about Regular Singular Points Consider the equation L[y] = x2y” + xb(x)y’ + c(x)y = 0 (4.2-1) where b(x) = , c(x) = are analytic at x = 0 Assume a power series solution y = (4.2-2) Differentiating the series solution (4.2-2) yields y’ = , y” = Substitution of the series expressions above into Eq. (4.2-1) gives, in expanded form, L[y] = [r(r – 1)a0xr + (r + 1)ra1xr+1 + …] + [(b0 + b1x + …)( ra0xr + (r + 1)a1xr+1 + …] + [(c0 + c1x + …)( a0xr + a1xr+1 + …] (4.2-3) Collect like powers of x to obtain L[y] = [r(r – 1) + b0r +
