Thanks for the help.
What would happen if A and B in the initial equation were not real numbers?
Would it still be considered an euler equation? or would it have to be solved in a different way?
Thanks again.
Hi,
I have a question relating to the Euler equation,
X^2Y'' + AXY' +BY = 0.
I understand that there are three possible solutions for Y;
Y=c1x^m1 + c2x^m2 for distinct roots
Y=[c1 + c2ln(x)]x^m for repeated roots
or Y=[c1cos(bln(x))+c2sin(bln(x))]x^a for complex conjugate roots

Hi Eli,
Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question.
I am not talking about a specific Euler equation, but the general Euler equation,
X^2Y'' + AXY' +BY = 0.
I understand that there are three possible solutions for Y;
Y=c1x^m1 + c2x^m2 for distinct roots
Y=[c1 +...
Is it possible for an Euler equation to satisfy the boundary conditions Y(1)=0, Y(2)=0?
I have considered the three possibilities, distinct real roots, repeated roots and conjugate complex roots and cannot find any solutions.
Are there any other possibilities to consider?
Thanks
