Finding a particular solution to second order differential equation
Show older comments
Hello,
I am struggling on solving the expression attached. m,n,v, omega, E are real values; but could also leave as sym. Tried the following but could not make it work:
syms rr u(r)
sol=dsolve(diff(u,rr,2)+(2*m*rr/(m*rr^2+n*rr))*diff(u,rr)-(v/rr^2-1/rr^2+v/rr*(2-m-rr+n)/(m*rr^2+n*r))*u==0,rr)
Thanks in advance!

You declare u(r), a function of r. That makes diff(u,rr,2) and diff(u,rr) equal to zero, since you said u does not depend on r. Did you maybe want to use diff(u(rr),rr)?

Doesn't look as if you could get an analytical solution for this equation.
Give values to the parameters involved and try a numerical solver instead (ODE45, BVP4C).
Best wishes
Torsten.
