The leading regular perturbation equation has . Its homogeneous solutions are and , soThe boundary data must also be expanded: , while the right endpoint value is independent of . Thus and , givingSince , the unique values are , . ThereforeIts derivatives are and , so the leading differential equation and both leading endpoint values can be checked directly.
Logarithmic eigenmodes and the leading regular perturbation solution
. The left panel shows three eigenfunctions after division by x and the change of variable t = log x. The right panel compares the derived leading term with numerical boundary value solutions at two small parameter values; these are original calculations. Details. New to topics? Read the docs here!
