### 49.2 Functions and Variables for contrib_ode

Function: contrib_ode (eqn, y, x)

  Returns a list of solutions of the ODE eqn with independent variable x and dependent variable y.

Function: odelin (eqn, y, x)

  `odelin` solves linear homogeneous ODEs of first and second order with independent variable x and dependent variable y. It returns a fundamental solution set of the ODE.

  For second order ODEs, `odelin` uses a method, due to Bronstein and Lafaille, that searches for solutions in terms of given special functions.

      (%i1) load('contrib_ode)$

      (%i2) odelin(x*(x+1)*'diff(y,x,2)+(x+5)*'diff(y,x,1)+(-4)*y,y,x);
             gauss_a(- 6, - 2, - 3, - x)  gauss_b(- 6, - 2, - 3, - x)

Function: ode_check (eqn, soln)

  Returns the value of ODE eqn after substituting a possible solution soln. The value is equivalent to zero if soln is a solution of eqn.

Function: gauss_a (a, b, c, x)

  `gauss_a(a,b,c,x)` and `gauss_b(a,b,c,x)` are 2F1 geometric functions. They represent any two independent solutions of the hypergeometric differential equation `x(1-x) diff(y,x,2) + [c-(a+b+1)x] diff(y,x) - aby = 0` (A&S 15.5.1).

  The only use of these functions is in solutions of ODEs returned by `odelin` and `contrib_ode`. The definition and use of these functions may change in future releases of Maxima.

  See also `gauss_b`, `dgauss_a` and `gauss_b`.

Function: bessel_simplify (expr)

  Simplifies expressions containing Bessel functions bessel_j, bessel_y, bessel_i, bessel_k, hankel_1, hankel_2, strauve_h and strauve_l. Recurrence relations (given in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Section 9.1.27) are used to replace functions of highest order n by functions of order n-1 and n-2.

  This process repeated until all the orders differ by less than 2.
