Hello group,
I have two questions:
1. Why doesn't MMa 3.0 solve the following simple PDF (at least on my SGI):
DSolve[ y^2 D[ g[x,y], {y,2} ] == 2D[ g[x,y], {x,1} ], g[x,y], {x,y} ]
nor:
<<Calculus`DSolveIntegrals`
CompleteIntegral[ y^2 Derivative[0,2][h][x,y] == 2Derivative[1,0][h][x,y],
h[x,y], {x,y} ]
You can check that a solution is:
g[x,y]:=a(Log[y]-x/2)+b y+c
2. How can I force MMa to simplify the following expression:
D[ Sum[ (-y)^k/k! f[k], {k,1,Infinity}], {y,1} ]
As simplified result I would expect to get:
-Sum[ (-y)^(k-1)/(k-1)! f[k], {k,1,Infinity}]
Please respond directly to

Thanks in advance,
