Can Maxima produce the solution of an ODE in form of a power series?
For example, the Riccati equation:
dy/dx=x^2+y^2, y(0)=1
has a complicated closed-form solution using Bessel functions, but
sometimes a few terms of the series is all you need.
How do I get a series solution in Maxima?
As a related question, how do I use the diffequations/ode1_riccati.mac
solver to include an initial condition?
thanks,
