Solve by a series of powers around the given ordinary point, $$ x^2y'' + xy'-y = 0 hspace5mmx_0 = 2 $$
I have problems to continue with the development, I start with the assumption
$$y=sum_n=0^inftyc_n(x-2)^n\y'=sum_n=1^inftyc_nn(x-2)^n-1\y''=sum_n=2^inftyc_nn(n-1)(x-2)^n-2$$

          Hint.



          Note that $frac 1x$ is a solution for the DE so try something with



          $$
          y = frac 12sum_k=0^infty(-1)^kfrac(x-2)^k2^k+sum_k=0^inftya_k (x-2)^k
          $$



          note also that



          $$
          x = (x-2) + 2\
          x^2 = (x-2)^2+4(x-2)+4
          $$

          • but I have problems when replacing, for example when it is around an ordinary point $ x_0 = 0 $ then the assumption is useful, $$ y = sum_n = 0^infty c_nx^n $$ but everything remains in function of $ x ^ n $ to obtain the equation of recurrence. I'm stuck there

          Let $t=x-2$, then the equation becomes



          $$ (t+2)^2y'' + (t+2)y' - y = 0 $$



          Simplifying each term at a time:



          beginalign
          y &= sum_n=0^infty c_nt^n \ \
          (t+2)y' &= (t+2)sum_n=1^infty c_nnt^n-1 \
          &= sum_n=1^infty nc_nt^n + sum_n=1^infty 2nc_nt^n-1 \
          &= sum_n=1^infty nc_nt^n + sum_n=0^infty 2(n+1)c_n+1t^n \ \
          (t+2)^2y'' &= (t^2+4t+4)sum_n=2^infty n(n-1)c_nt^n-2 \
          &= sum_n=2^infty n(n-1)c_nt^n + sum_n=2^infty 4n(n-1)c_nt^n-1 + sum_n=2^infty 4n(n-1)c_nt^n-2 \
          &= sum_n=2^infty n(n-1)c_nt^n + sum_n=1^infty 4(n+1)nc_n+1t^n + sum_n=0^infty 4(n+2)(n+1)c_n+2t^n
          endalign



          Combining terms:



          $$ (8c_2+2c_1-c_0) + (24c_3 + 12c_2)t + sum_n=2^infty big[4(n+2)(n+1)c_n+2 + 2(n+1)(2n+1)c_n+1 + (n^2-1)c_nt^n big] $$



          Then we have the recurring relations



          beginalign
          c_2 &= frac18(c_0-2c_1) \
          c_3 &= -frac12c_2 \
          c_n+2 &= frac2n+12(n+2)c_n+1 + fracn-14(n+2)c_n
          endalign



          Finding a closed form (in terms of $c_0$ and $c_1$) is a bit more involved.



          Using the Cauchy-Euler method, you can obtain the "official" solution:



          $$ y(x) = ax + fracbx $$

            Define the operators $D$ and $X$ by $(D,h)(x):=h'(x)$ and $(X,h)(x):=x,h(x)$. For any function $phi$, we also define the operator $phi(X)$ to be $big(phi(X),hbig)(x):=phi(x),h(x)$. Note that
            $$D^2+frac1X,D-frac1X^2=left(D+frac2Xright),left(D-frac1Xright),.$$



            First, suppose $z:=left(D-dfrac1Xright)y$. Then, $left(D+dfrac2Xright),z=0$, or equivalently, $D,left(X^2,zright)=0$. Consequently,
            $$z(x)=-frac2ax^2text for some constant a,.$$
            Now, $left(D-dfrac1Xright),y=z$ implies that $D,left(dfrac1X,yright)=dfrac1X,z$. Therefore, for some constant $b$, we have
            $$y(x)=x,int,frac1x,left(-frac2ax^2right),textdx=x,Biggl(aleft(frac1x^2right)+bBiggr)=a,left(frac1xright)+b,x,.$$
            Thus, the only power-series solution to this differential equation is $y(x)=b,x$ for some constant $b$.




            I should have realized that there is an easier decomposition
            $$D^2+frac1X,D-frac1X^2=D,left(D+frac1Xright),.$$
            This leads to a very simple solution. Note that
            $left(D^2+dfrac1X,D-dfrac1X^2right),y=0$ implies
            $$D,Biggl(frac1X,D,(X,y)Biggr)=0,.$$
            Thus, $big(D,(X,y)big)(x)=2A,x$ for some constant $A$, and
            $$y(x)=frac1x,left(A,x^2+Bright)=A,x+B,left(frac1xright)$$
            for some constant $B$.

                      Define the operators $D$ and $X$ by $(D,h)(x):=h'(x)$ and $(X,h)(x):=x,h(x)$. For any function $phi$, we also define the operator $phi(X)$ to be $big(phi(X),hbig)(x):=phi(x),h(x)$. Note that
                      $$D^2+frac1X,D-frac1X^2=left(D+frac2Xright),left(D-frac1Xright),.$$



                      First, suppose $z:=left(D-dfrac1Xright)y$. Then, $left(D+dfrac2Xright),z=0$, or equivalently, $D,left(X^2,zright)=0$. Consequently,
                      $$z(x)=-frac2ax^2text for some constant a,.$$
                      Now, $left(D-dfrac1Xright),y=z$ implies that $D,left(dfrac1X,yright)=dfrac1X,z$. Therefore, for some constant $b$, we have
                      $$y(x)=x,int,frac1x,left(-frac2ax^2right),textdx=x,Biggl(aleft(frac1x^2right)+bBiggr)=a,left(frac1xright)+b,x,.$$
                      Thus, the only power-series solution to this differential equation is $y(x)=b,x$ for some constant $b$.




                      I should have realized that there is an easier decomposition
                      $$D^2+frac1X,D-frac1X^2=D,left(D+frac1Xright),.$$
                      This leads to a very simple solution. Note that
                      $left(D^2+dfrac1X,D-dfrac1X^2right),y=0$ implies

                      Thus, $big(D,(X,y)big)(x)=2A,x$ for some constant $A$, and
                      $$y(x)=frac1x,left(A,x^2+Bright)=A,x+B,left(frac1xright)$$
