Problem 8 Let a(t) =/= b(t) be given. The factorization for a second order ODE is commutative if (D + a(t) I) (D + b(t) I) y = (D + b(t) I) (D + a(t) I) y.

• Find condition on a(t) and b(t) so that the factorization is commutative.

• Find the fundamental set of solutions for a second order ODE that has a commutative factorization.

• Use the above results to find the fundamental set of solutions of y'' + 4 y' + 4 y = 0.

Suppose y(t) is governed by ODE t3y'''(t) + 6t2y''(t) + 4ty'(t) = 0. Solve this ODE by performing the following procedure: 1) Let x = ln(t) and set y(t) = φ(x) = φ(ln(t)), 2) Use chain rule of differentiation to calculate derivatives y in terms derivatives of φ, 3) by appropriate substitution, construct an ODE governing φ(x) and solve it, 4) use this φ(x) to get back y(t).
