Description
|
|
•
|
The polynomial_series_sol command returns one formal power series solution or a set of formal power series solutions of the given linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients. The ODE must be either homogeneous or inhomogeneous with a right-hand side that is a polynomial, a rational function, or a "nice" power series (see LODEstruct) in the independent variable .
|
•
|
If ode is an expression, then it is equated to zero.
|
•
|
The routine returns an error message if the differential equation ode does not satisfy the following conditions.
|
–
|
ode must be linear in var
|
–
|
ode must have polynomial coefficients in
|
–
|
ode must be homogeneous or have a right-hand side that is rational or a "nice" power series in
|
–
|
The coefficients of ode must be either rational numbers or depend rationally on one or more parameters.
|
•
|
The routine selects such formal power series solutions where is a polynomial for all sufficiently large .

|
|
Options
|
|
|
Specifies the expansion point in the case of a homogeneous equation or an inhomogeneous equation with rational right-hand side. The default is . It can be an algebraic number, depending rationally on some parameters, or . In the case of a "nice" series right-hand side the expansion point is given by the right-hand side and cannot be changed.
|
|
If this option is given, then the command returns one formal power series solution at a with polynomial coefficients if it exists; otherwise, it returns NULL. If a is not given, it returns a set of formal power series solutions with polynomial coefficients for all possible points that are determined by Slode[candidate_points](ode,var,'type'='polynomial').
|
|
Specifies a base name C to use for free variables C[0], C[1], etc. The default is the global name _C. Note that the number of free variables may be less than the order of the given equation if the expansion point is singular.
|
|
Specifies a name for the summation index in the power series. The default value is the global name _n.
