In summary, the conversation is about finding the second solution for the Frobenius case where the roots of the indicial equation differ by an integer. The person is seeking help in finding y2(x) which involves finding the dn's and dealing with the variable 'k'.

Homework Statement


Hi :smile: I think I am making some good progress on this one, but I am unsure of what the next step is? Can someone give a nudge in the right direction?

Any thoughts on this one? It is the Frobenius case where the roots of the indicial equation differ by an integer. I have used the larger root to find y1(x) and now I am
seeking y2(x) = k*y1(x)*ln(x) + Σdnxn+s1 where s1 is the smaller root that I found. I have to find the dn's and I also have that 'k' to deal with.
