We have the equation:

The homogenous equation is:

Taking y˜eS:

Taking a balance between
and x2,
with
.
Then
. Now trying
:

Expanding:

Balance between
gives
, or
. The
homogenous solution can then be written:
![y_{homog}=Ae^{-3x^{5/3}/5}+\left[B\sin\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}x^{5/3}}{10}\right)+C\cos\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}x^{5/3}}{10}\right)\right]e^{3x^{5/3}/10}](http://localhost/mediawiki/images/math/8/7/9/879c7b71f509e90d3b704289d9667f6d.png)
The inhomogenous equation is:

For large x, the last homogenous terms dominate (since they go
like
), unless B = C = 0. Then we guess a balance between
x2y and ex / 2, giving:

Which does dominate. The general solution is then:
![y=Ae^{-3x^{5/3}/5}+\left[B\sin\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}x^{5/3}}{10}\right)+C\cos\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}x^{5/3}}{10}\right)\right]e^{3x^{5/3}/10}+\frac{1}{2x^{2}}e^{x}](http://localhost/mediawiki/images/math/8/c/1/8c12c07bc09ac2c9dfb2ddb22a7a22ec.png)
