Consider Hermite's equation of order two:
y' – 2xy + 4y = 0
and verify for yourself that y1 = 1– 2x? is a solution.
The "reduction of order" technique for finding a second solution, y2, that is linearly independent of the first, is to set Y2 = Y1v and find a
non-constant v that makes y2 a solution. This yields a first order equation for w = v' of the form
w' + Pw = 0.
