182 LESSON 21. REDUCTION OF ORDER Substitution back into the original ODE verifies that this works. Hence a general solution of the equation is ∫ y = At + Bt t −2 e −t2 /2 dt (21.35) Example 21.3. Find a second solution of t 2 y ′′ − 4ty ′ + 6y = 0 (21.36) assuming that t > 0, given that y 1 = t 2 is already a solution. We look for a solution of the form y 2 = uy 1 = ut 2 . Differentiating Substituting in (21.36), y ′ 2 = u ′ t 2 + 2tu (21.37) y ′′ 2 = u ′′ t 2 + 4tu ′ + 2u (21.38) 0 = t 2 (u ′′ t 2 + 4tu ′ + 2u) − 4t(u ′ t 2 + 2tu) + 6ut 2 (21.39) = t 4 u ′′ + 4t 3 u ′ + 2t 2 u − 4t 3 u ′ − 8t 2 u + 6t 2 u (21.40) = t 4 u ′′ (21.41) Since t > 0 we can never have t = 0; hence we can divide by t 4 to give u ′′ = 0. This means u = t. Hence y 2 = uy 1 = t 3 (21.42) is a second solution. Example 21.4. Show that y 1 = sin t √ t (21.43) is a solution of Bessel’s equation of order 1/2 ( t 2 y ′′ + ty ′ + t 2 − 1 ) y = 0 (21.44) 4 and use reduction of order to find a second solution. Differentiating using the product rule y 1 ′ = d ( ) t −1/2 sin t dt (21.45) = t −1/2 cos t − 1 2 t−3/2 sin t (21.46) y ′′ 1 = −t −1/2 sin t − t −3/2 cos t + 3 4 t−5/2 sin t (21.47)

183 Plugging these into Bessel’s equation, t (−t 2 −1/2 sin t − t −3/2 cos t + 3 ) 4 t−5/2 sin t + ( t t −1/2 cos t − 1 ) ( 2 t−3/2 sin t + t 2 − 1 ) t −1/2 sin t = 0 (21.48) 4 ( −t 3/2 sin t − t −1/2 cos t + 3 ) 4 t1/2 sin t + ( t 1/2 cos t − 1 ) 2 t−1/2 sin t + t 3/2 sin t − 1 4 t−1/2 sin t = 0 (21.49) All of the terms cancel out, verifying that y 1 is a solution. To find a second solution we look for Differentiating y 2 = uy 1 = ut −1/2 sin t (21.50) y ′ 2 = u ′ t −1/2 sin t − 1 2 ut−3/2 sin t + ut −1/2 cos t (21.51) y ′′ 2 = u ′′ t −1/2 sin t − 1 2 u′ t −3/2 sin t + u ′ t −1/2 cos t − 1 2 u′ t −3/2 sin t + 3 4 ut−5/2 sin t − 1 2 ut−3/2 cos t + u ′ t −1/2 cos t − 1 2 ut−3/2 cos t − ut −1/2 sin t (21.52) ( ) = u ′′ t −1/2 sin t + u ′ −t −3/2 sin t + 2t −1/2 cos t + ( ) 3 u 4 t−5/2 sin t − t −3/2 cos t − t −1/2 sin t (21.53) Hence [ ( ) 0 = t 2 u ′′ t −1/2 sin t + u ′ −t −3/2 sin t + 2t −1/2 cos t + ( )] 3 u 4 t−5/2 sin t − t −3/2 cos t − t −1/2 sin t ( + t u ′ t −1/2 sin t − 1 ) 2 ut−3/2 sin t + ut −1/2 cos t ( + t 2 − 1 ) ut −1/2 sin t (21.54) 4
