Find all power series solutions of the form to the equation
for a real constant. [It is sufficient to give a recurrence relationship between coefficients.]
Impose the condition and determine those values of for which your power series gives polynomial solutions (i.e., for sufficiently large). Give the values of for which the corresponding polynomials have degree less than 6 , and compute these polynomials. Hence, or otherwise, find a polynomial solution of
satisfying .
