The equation x2y′′−2xy′+(2−x2)y=0 has a regular singular point at zero. Factoring y=xu cancels the Euler derivative terms and leaves u′′−u=0 away from zero. Its analytic solutions xcoshx and xsinhx extend across zero. Their coefficient recurrence (n−1)(n−2)cn​=cn−2​ has independent free coefficients c1​,c2​, giving two entire solutions without a logarithmic branch despite integer-separated indicial roots.
