Differential Equation With Variable Coefficients.
Cauchy-Euler Equation
 Variation of parameters for differential equation
with variable coefficients.
Cauchy-Euler Equation:
A linear differential equation of the form

where are constants, is said to be Cauchy-

Euler or equi-dimensional equation. The characteristic of this
type of equation is that the degree
Of the monomial coefficient is same as the order k of the
differentiation :
