Explanation Given: The equation is given as, x y ″ + y ′ − 4 y = 0 ... ( 1 ) Approach: The method of Frobenius to obtain a series solution to the equation is stated as, Let x 0 be a regular singular point for y ″ + p y ′ + q y = 0 and let r 1 and r 2 be the roots of the associated indicial equation, where Re r 1 ≥ Re r 2 a. If r 1 − r 2 is not an integer, then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 b. If r 1 = r 2 , then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 c. If r 1 − r 2 is a positive integer, then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = C y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 Here C is a constant that could be zero. Calculation: For the differential equation a 2 ( x ) y ″ ( x ) + a 1 ( x ) y ′ ( x ) + a 0 ( x ) y ( x ) = 0 , The polynomials p ( x ) and q ( x ) are given as, p ( x ) = a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) q ( x ) = a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) Compare with the given equation to get, p ( x ) = 1 x q ( x ) = 4 x Therefore, x p ( x ) = 1 and x 2 q ( x ) = − 4 x are analytic at 0 . So, x = 0 is the regular singular point and, p 0 = lim x → 0 x p ( x ) = 1 q 0 = lim x → 0 x 2 q ( x ) = 0 The indicial equation is given as, r ( r − 1 ) + r p 0 + q 0 = 0 … ( 2 ) Solve equation ( 2 ) . r ( r − 1 ) + r p 0 + q 0 = 0 r ( r − 1 ) + r = 0 r 2 = 0 r 1 = 0 , r 2 = 0 The roots are repeated. Therefore, the method of Frobenius gives two linearly independent solutions of the form w ( r , x ) = x r ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r Let w ( r 1 , x ) = y 1 ( x ) and w ( r 2 , x ) = y 2 ( x ) be the two solutions. Substitute ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r for w ( r , x ) in equation ( 1 ) . x ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) a n x n + r − 2 + ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) a n x n + r − 1 − 4 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r = 0 ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) + 3 ( n + r ) − 1 ) a n x n + r − 1 + ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) a n x n + r − 1 − 4 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r = 0 ( [ r ( r − 1 ) + r ] a 0 x r − 1 + ∑ k = 0 ∞ { ( k + r + 1 ) ( k + r ) a k + 1 + ( k + r + 1 ) a k + 1 − 4 a k } x k + r ) = 0 Equate the coefficients equal to 0 gives the indicial equation as, r 2 a 0 = 0 The recurrence relation is given as, ( k + r + 1 ) ( k + r ) a k + 1 − ( k + r + 1 ) a k + 1 − 4 a k = 0 a k + 1 = 4 ( k + r + 1 ) 2 a k ; k ≥ 0 … ( 3 ) Substitute 0 for r in the above relation ( 3 ) as, a k + 1 = 4 ( k + 1 ) 2 a k ; k ≥ 0 … ( 4 ) Substitute 0 for k in equation ( 4 ) . a 1 = 4 ( 0 + 1 ) 2 a 0 = 4 a 0 Substitute 1 for k in equation ( 4 ) . a 2 = 4 ( 1 + 1 ) 2 a 1 = 4 a 0 Substitute 2 for k in equation ( 4 )

Design a Turing Machine recognizing each of the following languages and draw its state diagram. Note that the transition functions of the Turing Machine must be in the format of “a → b,L/R", namely the machine reads single symbol a from the tape, writes single symbol b to the cell to replace a, and then goes to either left L or right R. You will receive 0 point if you do not follow this instruction. (1) {w|w=a²b³, n ≥ 0} (2) {w|w=a'b³,i0} (3) {w|w a'bick,i
