Homework Statement


I've obtained a recurrence relation of:
a_{n+2} = \frac{(n-1)(n-2)-\frac{2k}{w_{o}^{2}}}{R^{2}(n+1)(n+2)}a_{n}
from a Frobenius series solution problem and I've expanded it to give the series:

f(r) = 1 + \frac{-\frac{2k}{w_{o}^{2}}}{6R^{2}}r^{2} + \frac{-\frac{20k}{w_{o}^{2}}+\frac{4k^{2}}{w_{o}^{4}}}{120R^{4}}r^{4} + \frac{-\frac{560k}{w_{o}^{2}}+\frac{152k^{2}}{w_{o}^{4}}-\frac{8k^{3}}{w_{o}^{6}}}{5040R^{6}}r^{6} ...

I can see that the denominator is 3!R^{2} , 5!R^{4} , 7!R^{6} which is (2n+1)! R^{2n} however I need a bit of help condensing the numerator into a single series term.

The Attempt at a SolutionI think it can be condensed into:-\frac{2k}{w_{o}^{2}} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(2n-1)!!}{(2n+1)!} (\frac{k}{w_{o}^{2}})^{n-1}But I'm not sure.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
