Comprehensive Examination: PART- B (Closed Book)


Course Title : Mathematics III Max. Marks: 75
Course No : MATH F211 Time: 2 hours

Instructions:
1. All questions are compulsory.
2. Start a new question in a new page and answer all its parts in the same place.
3. Write all the steps clearly and give explanations for complete credit.
4. Make an index on the front page of the main answer sheet, otherwise penalty of 4
marks will be imposed.

1. Find two Frobenius series solutions of the equation 2xy ′′ + (x + 1)y ′ + 3y = 0 near x = 0.
Also, write the region in which the solutions are valid. [15]

2. Find the Bessel series of f (x) = (1 − x2 )xp , for x ∈ [0, 1] and p ≥ 0 in terms of positive
zeros of Jp (x). (Evaluate all the integrals involved). [15]

3. Solve the equation (x − 1)y ′′ + (3x − 4)y ′ − (4x + 5)y = 0, y(1) = 0, by using Laplace
transforms. [15]

4. Prove the recursion formula (n + 1)Pn+1 (x) = (2n + 1)xPn (x) − nPn−1 (x). Use it to show
′ ′
that (2n + 1)Pn (x) = Pn+1 (x) − Pn−1 (x). [15]

5. Find the Fourier series for [15]
