Find regular parts of a linear ode

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

regular_parts(L, y, t, [x=x0])

Parameters

L

-

linear homogeneous differential equation

y

-

unknown function to search for

t

-

name used as parametrization variable

x0

-

(optional) a rational, an algebraic number or infinity

Description

• 

The regular_parts function computes the minimal generalized exponents of L at the point x0 and the corresponding regular parts. These are operators L_e which result from L by replacing y(x) by exp(int(e, x))*y(x). The Newton polygon of L_e at x_0 has a segment of slope 0 and 0 is a root of the indicial polynomial.

• 

The equation  must be homogeneous and linear in y and its derivatives, and its coefficients must be rational functions in the variable x.

• 

x0 must be a rational or an algebraic number or the symbol infinity. If x0 is not passed as argument, x0 = 0 is assumed.

• 

The output is a set of solutions which are of the form exp(int(e, x))*y where e is a minimal generalized exponent and y is given as DESol object.

• 

The command with(DEtools,regular_parts) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

Examples

(1)

Then 0 is a singular point of this equation. Newton polygon is:

(2)

There are slopes > 0 so 0 is an irregular singular point.

(3)

yields two transformed differential equations:

(4)

(5)

These operators have a Newton polygon with slope 0:

(6)

(7)

This can help to find closed-form solutions:

(8)

(9)

Since the general solution of the regular part is a+b*x+c*x^2 for some constants a,b and c, we obtain the general solution of the original equation by taking into account the exponential transformation:
