In two problems below find all singular points of the given equation and deter-
mine whether of each one is regular or irregular.
1. xy 00 + (1 − x)y 0 + xy = 0
2. x2 (1 − x2 )y 00 + (2/x)y 0 + 4y = 0
and
x2 R(x)
lim .
x→0 P (x)
In our case the first limit is equal to 1, and the second one is equal to 0. Therefore,
the point x = 0 is a regular singular point.
3. x2 y 00 + 4xy 0 + 2y = 0

5. x2 y 00 − 3xy 0 + 4y = 0
6. x2 y 00 + 3xy 0 + 5y = 0
7. x2 y 00 + xy 0 + 4y = 0
8. x2 y 00 + xy 0 − 4y = 0
9. x2 y 00 + xy 0 + 4y = 4
Solution of 3. Let us find the roots r1 and r2 associated with the Euler equation.
We have
r(r − 1) + 4r + 2 = 0,
or
r2 + 3r + 2 = 0.

Therefore, r1,2 = −1.5 ± 0.5 1 = −1.5 ± 0.5, or r1 = −1 and r2 = −2. Then, the
general solution of the Euler equation is
c1 c2
y= + c2 2 .

Solution of 5. Let us find the roots r1 and r2 associated with the Euler equation.
We have
r(r − 1) − 3r + 4 = 0,
or
r2 − 4r + 4 = 0.
That is r1,2 = 2. The general solution is
y = (c1 + c2 log |x|)|x|2
Solution of 6.. Let us find the roots r1 and r2 associated with the Euler
equation. We have
r(r − 1) + 3r + 5 = 0,
or
r2 + 2r + 5 = 0.
√
Then, r1,2 = −1 ± 0.5 4 − 20 = −1 ± 2i. Therefore,
c1 cos(2 log |x|) + c2 sin(2 log |x|)
y= .
