588 Chapter 19 Ordinary differential equations I

As was done inSection 19.7 we seekapower series solution inthe form

x 3 +a 4

x 4 +a 5

x 5 +...

m=0

The strategy is to substitutey, and its first and second derivatives into Equation 19.25

and choose valuesa m

so that the equation is satisfied.yand its first two derivatives can

be written:

y=a 0

+a 1

x+a 2

x 2 +a 3

x 3 +a 4

x 4 +a 5

x 5 +...

x 3 +5a 5

x 4 +...

dx 2 =2a 2 +6a 3 x+12a 4 x2 +20a 5

Substitution intox d2 y

x 3 ... )

+ (a 0

x+a 1

x 2 +a 2

x 3 +a 3

x 4 +a 4

x 5 ...) =0

We now equate coefficients on both sides of this equation starting with the constant

term:

a 1

=0.

Equating coefficients ofx:

+a 0

=0 sothat a 2

=− 1 4 a 0 .

Equating coefficients ofx 2 :

9a 3

+a 1

=0 sothat a 3

=− 1 9 a 1 = 0 sincea 1 = 0.

Equating coefficients ofx 3 :

16a 4

+a 2

=0 sothat a 4

=− 1 (

16 a 2 = − 1 ) (

can now write down a power series that satisfies Bessel’s differential

We have succeeded in obtaining a power series solution of Bessel’s Equation 19.25

wherea 0

isan arbitraryconstant.

As we have already noted, a 0

is an arbitrary constant. However, historically its value

is chosen to be 1 in Equation 19.26. The resulting power series is used to define a
