Frobenius Method (1)
– Let b(x) and c(x) be any analytic functions at x = 0. Then, ODE
has at least one sol. represented in the form
where r may be any (real or complex) number.
– The ODE has a second sol. (which is linearly independent) similar to above series form with a different r and different coeff. or may
contain a logarithm term.
