Differential Equations, Lecture 3.9: The method of Frobenius.

In the previous lecture, we saw how many 2nd ODEs have solutions that are power series. In this lecture, we learn when this is the case, which is due to a theorem of Frobenius. In particular, if the center x_0 of the power series is a so-called "ordinary point", then the ODE will have a power series solution. Otherwise, x_0 is said to be a "singular point," and there are two types of these. If x_0 is an "regular singular point", then there is a generalized power series solution, which is simply a power series times x^r, where r could be a negative number, fraction, or complex number. In this lecture, we learn what these mean, we discuss the radii of convergence of these solutions, and we conclude with an example of an ODE that has as generalized power series solution.

what happens if ordinary point is x=1 or any non zero?

Could you explain how x^r vanished in the Frobenius section?

where are you getting the plus one at 29:04? very confusing....

Hi, I would like to know what happen if i have complex singular points, and i want to solve about a complex regular point

At about the 28 minute mark --- the summations for the derivatives do not start at n=0. for the first derivative it starts at n=1 and the 2nd derivative at n=2
