THE CAUCHY -EULER EQUATION
Any linear differential equation of the form
n1
dny n 1 d y dy
an x n
n
an1 x n1
... a1 x a0 y g ( x)
dx dx dx
where an ,..., a0 are constants, is said to be a Cauchy-Euler equation.
d
Denoting D , then the equation can be written as:
dx
a x D
n
n n
an 1 x n 1 D n 1 ... a1 xD a0 y g ( x ).
