I have a second order differential equation which is really Long and It is second derivative of y with respect to x with 4 other parameters , E- energy, L-angular momentum, delta that takes a few positive integer values and epsilon that can be either 0 or 1. how should I integrate such a thing in Wolfram mathamtica? I use DSolve & after a few minutes I get the equation I've written back don't know this means it's not solvable analytically or there is a mistake somewhere. A1d is the equation that needs to be solved. I've also included what I've done in mathematica.
here is the code
DSolve[(E^2 - L^2*((x - 1)^(2*d - 1)/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))) - a*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d)*Derivative[2][y][x] ==
(E^2 - L^2*((x - 1)^(2*d - 1)/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))) - a*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d)*(((d^2 - 1)*y[x]*(1 - y[x]^2))/((x^2 - 1)*(x^2 - y[x]^2))) -
L^2*((y[x]*(x - 1)^(2*d - 2))/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 2))) +
(a*((x - 1)^(d - 1)/(x + 1)^(d + 1)) - (E^2 - L^2*((x - 1)^(2*d - 1)/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))) - a*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d)*
((2*(x - d)*(x^2 - y[x]^2) + (d^2 - 1)*x*(1 - y[x]^2))/((x^2 - 1)*(x^2 - y[x]^2))) - L^2*(((x - 2*d)*(x - 1)^(2*d - 2))/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 2))))*
Derivative[1][y][x] - ((E^2 - L^2*((x - 1)^(2*d - 1)/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))) - a*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d)*
(y[x]*((x^2 - y[x]^2 + (1 - d^2)*(1 - y[x]^2))/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x^2 - y[x]^2)))) + L^2*((y[x]*(x - 1)^(2*d - 1))/((1 - y[x]^2)^2*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))))*
Derivative[1][y][x]^2 + (((d*a)/(1 - y[x]^2))*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d - (E^2 - L^2*((x - 1)^(2*d - 1)/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))) - a*((x - 1)/(x + 1))^d)*
((x*(x^2 - 1) + d^2*x*(1 - y[x]^2) - 2*d*(x^2 - y[x]^2))/((1 - y[x]^2)*(x^2 - y[x]^2))) - L^2*(((x - 2*d)*(x - 1)^(2*d - 1))/((1 - y[x]^2)^2*(x + 1)^(2*d + 1))))*
Derivative[1][y][x]^3, y[x], x]

Eand this advice (#4 in particular). – Michael E2 Apr 04 '17 at 11:16DSolve, butEin Mathematica is the base of the natural log., 2.71828.... Maybe someone will figure it out. – Michael E2 Apr 04 '17 at 11:26DSolvecould not figure out how to solve it. (I didn't think changingEwould fix it, because it seems like a reasonable energy level. It was just to point out it has a specific meaning.) Sometimes an ODE is still solvable after a transformation (human insight). Numerical solvers areNDSolve(must give numeric values to all parameters) andParametricNDSolve(returns a function of parameters). You can plot them & functions of them. Your ODE has some singularities, so it might not be completely straightforward. – Michael E2 Apr 04 '17 at 12:10eq. Then,Collect[(Subtract @@ eq /. E -> 0 /. d -> 0 /. L -> 0)/a, {y''[x], y'[x]}, Simplify] == 0greatly simplifies the equation, butDSolvestill cannot handle it. Perhaps, some trigonometric substitution would help, although I am not optimistic. In any case, posting this simpler equation is more likely to elicit help. – bbgodfrey Apr 04 '17 at 13:20TransformedFieldandCoordinateTransformData; and Kuba's DChange. I don't have time to give it a really hard look, though. – Michael E2 Apr 04 '17 at 14:42
