SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving the Cauchy-Euler equation represented as x²y'' - xy' = ln x. The key transformation involves substituting x with e^t or t = ln x, which simplifies the equation. Participants emphasize the necessity of expressing the derivatives y' and y'' in terms of dy/dt and d²y/dt² to facilitate the solution process. This approach is essential for correctly applying the method of solving Cauchy-Euler equations.
