Abstract

In this paper, we use the Laplace transform technique to examine the generalized solutions of the nth order Cauchy–Euler equations. By interpreting the equations in a distributional way, we found that whether their solution types are classical, weak or distributional solutions relies on the conditions of their coefficients. To illustrate our findings, some examples are exhibited.

Summary

Introduction

They can arise as a distributional solution for certain classes of ordinary differential equations with singular coefficients He constructed a formula for m corresponding to each type of generalized solution of Equation (3), which are Laplace transformable. Nanta [17] studied the distributional solutions of the nth order Cauchy–Euler an tn y(n) (t) + an−1 tn−1 y(n−1) (t) + · · · + a1 ty0 (t) + a0 y(t) = 0, (5)
