Definition Any linear differential equation of the form a nx n d ny dx n +a n−1x −1 d n−1y dx −1 +...a 1x dy dx +a 0y = g(x) is a Cauchy-Euler equation.

To solve a homogeneous Cauchy-Euler equation we set y=xr and solve for r. 3. The idea is similar to that for homogeneous linear differential equations with constant coefficients. We will
