How can i solve this Cauchy-Euler equation?












1














My problem is this given Cauchy-Euler equation:



$$x^{3}y^{prime prime prime} +xy^{prime}-y=0$$



My approach: this is an differential equation, so i was looking for a solution with the method of undetermined coefficients. but honestly, i failed.

          Besides to another answer, you may substitute $y=x^m$ wherein $m$ is a number and then form the certain $y_c(x)$. Let's do that: $$y=x^mto y'=mx^{m-1},~~y'''=m(m-1)(m-2)x^{m-3}$$ So $$x^3y'''+xy'-y=0Longrightarrow x^m(m(m-1)(m-2)+m-1)=0$$ If $xneq 0$ then $$(m-1)^3=0$$ This means that $$y_c(x)=x^1(1+ln x+ln^2 x), ~x>0$$
