After normalization, and . Both are analytic at zero, so . At one,are analytic, whereas themselves have poles. Hence .
Insert . The coefficient of gives ; for the coefficient of givesThus for . The initial data give , , soThe radius is one because the three cube roots of unity are poles of this solution. A direct structural check observes that the differential equation is exactly . Thus , and the initial data select . This is the product-derivative reduction of a second-order differential equation.
