The homogeneous
Cauchy-Euler equation has
powers xr with
r(r−1)+2r−2=(r−1)(r+2)=0. Boundedness at zero selects
x, and boundedness at
infinity selects
x−2. Put
G=Ax for
x<ζ and
G=Bx−2 for
x>ζ. Continuity gives
B=Aζ3. Since the operator is
L=(x2d/dx)′−2, the required delta-
function normalization is
ζ2[Gx]ζ−ζ+=1. Thus
−3Aζ2=1,
giving the
bounded Green kernel for a radial Euler operator:
G(x,ζ)={−x/(3ζ2),−ζ/(3x2),0<x<ζ,ζ<x<∞.
In the requested notation,
a=1, b=−2, c=1, d=−2, k−=k+=−1/3. The two expressions agree at
x=ζ.
With ordinary
measure dζ, the solution is
y(x)=∫0∞G(x,ζ)f(ζ)dζ=−3x21∫0xζf(ζ)dζ−3x∫x∞ζ2f(ζ)dζ.
For bounded
forcing these
integrals converge and give
a bounded solution. It is unique because no nonzero
combination of
x,x−2 is bounded at both ends. For
a more general
forcing, convergence and boundedness of the displayed
integral must be checked.
