Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around solving a specific Bessel differential equation with initial conditions. Participants explore methods for finding solutions, including the Frobenius method and transformations to standard forms of Bessel equations.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their attempts to solve the equation using the Frobenius method but struggles to determine the value of "r" due to multiple indicial equations.
  • Another approach mentioned involves transforming the equation to a standard Bessel form, suggesting a solution of the type y(x) = AJ_{n}(\beta x) + BY_{n}(\beta x), but the participant encounters difficulties in making the necessary substitutions.
  • A participant shares a resource (a PDF) that may assist in understanding the problem better.
  • Another participant mentions finding example questions and reducing equations from a textbook, indicating progress in understanding the problem's structure.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express various methods and approaches to tackle the problem, but there is no consensus on a single solution or method. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to take.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not reached an agreement on the most effective method for solving the equation, and there are indications of missing assumptions or steps in the reasoning process.

this is my final exam question, I can't figure how to start
thx for your help


" Obtain the solution of the following differential equation in the form of bessel equation;

[tex]x^2\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{8}{x}\frac{dy}{dx} + (k^4x^8-6)y=0[/tex] "

Is this question from a take-home exam, or is it a question that you couldn't do from an exam that you have already submitted?
 
yes I couldn't do this in exam, I try it in two way


* [tex]y= \sum_{n=\zero}^\infty C_nx^{(n+r)}}[/tex] from this I found [tex]\frac {dy}{dx} and \frac {d^2y}{dx^2}[/tex] and put them to equection and go on with frobenius method but I couldn't find "r" becouse of too many indicial equations so I couldn't find the method to recurrance equation and go on...


*I try to make the equation similar to [tex]x^2\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + {x}\frac{dy}{dx} + (\beta x^2 - n^2)y=0[/tex] so then I could write [tex]y(x) = AJ_{n}(\beta x) + BY_{n}(\beta x)[/tex] is the solution;

I try to put [tex]y=x^\alpha t[/tex] also [tex]t=x^\alpha with \frac {dy}{dx}=\frac {dy}{dt}*\frac{dt}{dx}[/tex] ,but couldn'tmake it similar

can you give me a way to strat

I found some example questions with reducing equations and answers, also find my problem's reducing equations;(from KREYSZIG -advanced engineering mathematics)
thx
