Substituting our expressions for y, y , and y into the original differential equation, we
get

+ 2xu
+ (2 ln x + 3)u
+ (2x ln x + x)u
)

The coefficients of u
and u
are both zero, as expected.

Next we recall condition (5) and solve the system

Since we are assuming x > 0, we may divide through by suitable powers of x to get
the somewhat simpler system
u
+ (ln x)u
= 0

ln x
2u
+ (2 ln x + 1)u

From (6), we get u
=
(ln x)u
. Making this substitution in (7) yields

ln x
2 ln xu
+ 2 ln xu
+ u
=

ln x
so that u
