Solving $(ln(x)-1)y'' - frac{1}{x}y' + frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{(ln(x) - 1)^2}{x}$
$begingroup$
On my exam I had to solve the following differential equation.
begin{equation}
(ln(x)-1)y'' - frac{1}{x}y' + frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{(ln(x) - 1)^2}{x^2}
end{equation}
Which is a differential equation of the form:
begin{equation}
y'' + a(x)y' + b(x)y = R(x)
end{equation}
The only method we've seen to solve this kind of differential equations is:
If the differential equation is of the form:
begin{equation}
y'' + a(x)y' + b(x)y = 0
end{equation}
First find a solution of the characteristic equation, being $varphi_1$. Then:
begin{equation}
varphi_2(x) = varphi_1(x)intfrac{dx}{A(x)(varphi_1(x))^2}
end{equation}
With $A(x) = e^{int a(x) dx}$
Then the homogenous solution is given by:
begin{equation}
y(x) = c_1varphi_1(x) + c_2varphi_2(x)
end{equation}
The first problem is that this doesn't satisfy the requirements for this method since the differential equation is not homogenous, but since this is the only fitting method, I'd still try to use it. My guess would be to start with the characteristic equation which gives:
begin{equation}
(ln(x)-1)x^2 - 1 + frac{1}{x^2}y = 0
end{equation}
or
begin{equation}
x^2 - frac{1}{(ln(x)-1)} + frac{1}{x^2(ln(x)-1)} = 0
end{equation}
but i wouldn't even know how to start solving this equation to find the roots of the equation. Does anyone have an idea as to how to tackle this problem.
Note the only other ways of solving linear differential equations that we have seen are ways to solve first order differential equation or ways to solve second order differential equations in the form:
begin{equation}
y'' + py' + qy = R(x);;;text{with};; p,qinmathbb{R}

Because it was a question on my exam today, so there has to be some way to solve this with the methods we have seen. Since this is the only one that resembles it (the only one with non constant coefficients) i tried to use it. I wouldn't know in what way i could possibly find a solution otherwise.

Replace
$$begin{align}z&=ln x -1\
w(z)&=y(x)text{.}end{align}$$
Then the differential equation is
$$z w'' -(z+1)w'+w=z^2mathrm{e}^{z+1}text{.}$$
The linear differential operator on the left side factors, so the solution to this equation can be found by solving in turn the first-order equations
$$begin{align}
zv'-v&=z^2mathrm{e}^{z+1} \
w'-w&=vtext{.}
end{align}$$
Another form for these equations is
$$begin{align}
left(tfrac{v}{z}right)'&=mathrm{e}^{z+1} \
(mathrm{e}^{-z}w)'&=mathrm{e}^{-z}vtext{.}

$$(ln(x)-1)frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dx} + frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{(ln(x) - 1)^2}{x^2}$$
Change of variable : $t=ln(x)-1quad;quad x=e^{t+1}quad;quad dx=x:dt$
$frac{dy}{dx}=frac{dy}{dt}frac{dt}{dx}=frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dt}$
$frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}frac{dt}{dx}= -frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x^2}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}$
$$t(-frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x^2}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}) -frac{1}{x}(frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dt})+ frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{t^2}{x^2}$$
$$tfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}-(t+1)frac{dy}{dt}+y=t^2 $$
There is no difficulty to solve this second order linear ODE. Obvious solutions of the associated homogeneous ODE are $(t+1)$ and $e^t$. A particular solution of the ODE is $-t^2$ . This leads to :
$$y= c_1e^t+c_2(t+1)-t^2$$
Finally :
$y(x)= c_1e^{ln(x)-1}+c_2(ln(x)-1+1)-(ln(x)-1)^2$
$$y(x)= c_1e^{-1}x+c_2ln(x)-(ln(x)-1)^2$$
or on equivalent form :
$$y(x)= C_1x+C_2ln(x)-(ln(x))^2-1$$

$$(ln(x)-1)frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dx} + frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{(ln(x) - 1)^2}{x^2}$$
Change of variable : $t=ln(x)-1quad;quad x=e^{t+1}quad;quad dx=x:dt$
$frac{dy}{dx}=frac{dy}{dt}frac{dt}{dx}=frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dt}$
$frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}frac{dt}{dx}= -frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x^2}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}$
$$t(-frac{1}{x^2}frac{dy}{dt}+frac{1}{x^2}frac{d^2y}{dt^2}) -frac{1}{x}(frac{1}{x}frac{dy}{dt})+ frac{1}{x^2}y = frac{t^2}{x^2}$$
$$tfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}-(t+1)frac{dy}{dt}+y=t^2 $$
There is no difficulty to solve this second order linear ODE. Obvious solutions of the associated homogeneous ODE are $(t+1)$ and $e^t$. A particular solution of the ODE is $-t^2$ . This leads to :
$$y= c_1e^t+c_2(t+1)-t^2$$
Finally :
$y(x)= c_1e^{ln(x)-1}+c_2(ln(x)-1+1)-(ln(x)-1)^2$
$$y(x)= c_1e^{-1}x+c_2ln(x)-(ln(x)-1)^2$$
or on equivalent form :
$$y(x)= C_1x+C_2ln(x)-(ln(x))^2-1$$

"The first problem is that this doesn't satisfy the requirements for this method... but since this is the only fitting method, I'd still try to use it." Why? If it doesn't satisfy the requirements, what do you hope to achieve?

Because it was a question on my exam today, so there has to be some way to solve this with the methods we have seen. Since this is the only one that resembles it (the only one with non constant coefficients) i tried to use it. I wouldn't know in what way i could possibly find a solution otherwise.

i think there is a typo in your equation.

yes it had to be x instead of x^2 in the denominator of R(x) but the rest of the equation is correct
