Module for the Cauchy-Euler Differential Equation
Numerical Methods for O. D. E. using Mathematica. (c) John H. Mathews, 2003
Background
A Cauchy-Euler differential equation has the form
.
Use the change of variable z = ln x to construct a new D. E. with Y being a function of z,
.
The solution to this latter D. E. has the form
.
Then the solution to the Cauchy-Euler D. E. is
.
