Use the expansions given in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of
Mathematical Functions, Section 10.4.

Chuck,

A naive approach will work here to get one solution:
> de := (D@@2)(y)(x) - x*y(x) =0;
(2)
de := (D )(y)(x) - x y(x) = 0

> Order := 10: # if you want more than 5 terms
> dsolve(de, y(x), series);
3 4
y(x) = y(0) + D(y)(0) x + 1/6 y(0) x + 1/12 D(y)(0) x +
6 7 9 10
1/180 y(0) x + 1/504 D(y)(0) x + 1/12960 y(0) x + O(x )

But it may be more fun to work with the predefined functions:
> Order := 6:
> taylor(AiryAi(x), x);
> taylor(AiryBi(x), x);
(1/3) (1/6) (1/3)
3 3 GAMMA(2/3) 3 3
1/3 ---------- - 1/2 ----------------- x + 1/18 ---------- x -
GAMMA(2/3) Pi GAMMA(2/3)
(1/6)
3 GAMMA(2/3) 4 6
1/24 ----------------- x + O(x )
Pi
(5/6) (2/3) (5/6)
3 3 GAMMA(2/3) 3 3
1/3 ---------- + 1/2 ----------------- x + 1/18 ---------- x +
GAMMA(2/3) Pi GAMMA(2/3)
(2/3)
3 GAMMA(2/3) 4 6
1/24 ----------------- x + O(x )
Pi

Have fun ...

Regards,
Bill

Sure.

> Order:= 10:
dsolve((D@@2)(y)(x)-x*y(x)=0,y(x),series);

3 4
y(x) = y(0) + D(y)(0) x + 1/6 y(0) x + 1/12 D(y)(0) x +

6 7 9
1/180 y(0) x + 1/504 D(y)(0) x + 1/12960 y(0) x +

10
O(x )

Or did you want a symbolic expression for the coefficients?

It's quite easy. One example I have is:

>Order:=20;
>f1:=dsolve({diff(y(x),x)=exp(x*y),y(0)=0},y(x),'type=series');
>f2:=subs(f1,y(x));
>f3:=convert(f2,polynom);
>plot(f3,x=-1..1);
>g1:=dsolve({diff(y(x),x$2)+x*y=0,y(0)=0,D(y)(0)=1},y(x),'type=series');
>g2:=subs(g1,y(x));
>g3:=convert(g2,polynom);
>plot(g3,x=-1..5,scaling=constrained);

This may be more than you wanted (and I use y'' + x*y = 0 for this
example), but it's what I like to show undergraduates.

An explanation of what this is used for (somewhat MIT-dependent in
terms of subject matter is at

Try this (Release 5.1):

> restart;#?dsolve[series]
> with(ODEtools);
> ode:=diff(y(x),x$2)-x*y(x)=0;
> Order:=20;
> dsolve(ode,y(x),'type=series');# or dsolve({ode,

Chuck
You can write the following sentences
>restart;
>Order:=10; # to change the order of the series expansion (default = 6)
>dsolve({diff(y(x),x$2)- x*y(x)=0},{y(x)},type=series);
That's all

Product Reviews

"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand."
- Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency

"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired."
Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
