10.   Consider the differential equation:          

a) find the general solution of the given ODE in the form of power series about the point ;

b) what is the radius of convergence of the obtained power series solution?

c) sketch the solution curves;

d) find the solution subject to the initial conditions: , .

 

 

Solution:                a)  

                                 is a singular point of given ODE (the only one).

                                 is an ordinary point of given ODE.  Therefore, two independent solutions can be found in the form (Theorem 2.10, p.163):

                               

                                Differentiate it and substitute into equation
