Compute $sumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_nx^n$ if $a_0=3$, $a_1=5$, and $na_n=frac23a_{n-1}-(n-1)a_{n-1}$ for every...

$begingroup$



Assume that $a_0=3$, $a_1=5$, and, for arbitrary $n>1$ , $na_n=frac{2}{3}a_{n-1}-(n-1)a_{n-1}$. Prove that, when $|x|<1$, the series $sumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_nx^n$ converges, and compute its sum.




I tried to let $displaystyle a_n-a_1=sum_{k=2}^{n}frac{5-6k}{3k}a_{n-1}$ , and $displaystyle a_n=(frac{5-3n}{3n})a_{n-1}$



$$
a_{n-1}(frac{5-3n}{3n}-sum_{k=2}^{n}frac{5-6k}{3k})=5
$$



I want to know how to continue it.



Edit: (after reading ideas by @JV.Stalker)



I made the following supplement



$$
S(x)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}a_nx^n\
S'(x)=sum_{n=1}^{infty}na_nx^{n-1}\
sum_{n=2}^{infty}na_nx^n=sum_{n=2}^{infty}frac{2}{3}a_{n-1}x^n-sum_{n=2}^{infty}(n-1)a_{n-1}x^n\

x[S'(x)-5]=frac{2}{3}x(S(x)-3)-x(xS'(x))\

$na_n=frac{5}{3}a_{n-1}-na_{n-1}$



Multiply by $x^n$ both sides and sum from $n=1$ to $infty$



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_n x^n=frac{5}{3}sumlimits_{n=1}^infty a_{n-1}x^n-sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_{n-1}x^n$



Reindex of the RHS:



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_nx^n=frac{5}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n-xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty (n+1)a_{n}x^n$



After sorting the eqution:



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_nx^n+xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty na_{n}x^n=frac{2}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n$



$(1+x)sumlimits_{n=0}^infty na_nx^n=frac{2}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n$



Use that $nx^{n-1}=frac{dx^n}{dx}$ and let $f(x)=sumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_nx^n$



We have the following differential eqution:



$(x+1)frac{df(x)}{dx}=frac{2}{3}f(x)$



Finally $f(x)=(x+1)^frac{2}{3}+c$



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty a_n x^n$ is convergent.

$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_n x^n=frac{5}{3}sumlimits_{n=1}^infty a_{n-1}x^n-sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_{n-1}x^n$



Reindex of the RHS:



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_nx^n=frac{5}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n-xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty (n+1)a_{n}x^n$



After sorting the eqution:



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty na_nx^n+xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty na_{n}x^n=frac{2}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n$



$(1+x)sumlimits_{n=0}^infty na_nx^n=frac{2}{3}xsumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_{n}x^n$



Use that $nx^{n-1}=frac{dx^n}{dx}$ and let $f(x)=sumlimits_{n=0}^infty a_nx^n$



We have the following differential eqution:



$(x+1)frac{df(x)}{dx}=frac{2}{3}f(x)$



Finally $f(x)=(x+1)^frac{2}{3}+c$



$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty a_n x^n$ is convergent.

    I had two unusual things when I saw the result, the first is that I did not use the values ${a_0}$ and ${a_1}$, the second is that the sum is convergent for every real x.

    "Finally $f(x)=(x+1)^frac{2}{3}+c$" No, $(x+1)y'(x)=ay(x)$ is not solved by $y(x)=(x+1)^a+c$. "$sumlimits_{n=1}^infty a_n x^n$ is convergent" ?? 1. Why? 2. For which $x$s?

  • $begingroup$
    Oh, and $a_1=5ne2=frac23a_0$ hence the expression of $f(x)$ is wrong. "the first is that I did not use the values a0 and a1" Indeed, this signals the solution is wrong. "the second is that the sum is convergent for every real x" It is not.
