Hi,
the first thing whats wrong is, that
you have 3 equations for y[x] and the solution
of
y'[x] == -\[Rho]y[x]
is different form the solution
I\[HBar] y'[x] == \[Epsilon]y[x]
and has nothing to do with the solution of
y''[x] + 2 \[Rho]y'[x] + k^2 == 0
The second thing that is wrong, is that you call
NDSolve[] instead of DSolve[] and the third thing
is that you use Subscript[y,0] as initial value,
because you have said that the symbol "y" stand
for the solution function in the
ode and it can't be the solution *and* the inital value.
But
DSolve[#, y[x], x] & /@
{{y'[x] == -\[Rho] y[x],
y[0] == Subscript[\[ScriptY],
0]}, {I \[HBar] y'[x] == \[Epsilon] y[x],
y[0] == Subscript[\[ScriptY], 0]}, {y''[x] + 2 \[Rho] y'[x] +
k^2 == 0, y'[0] == Subscript[g, 0]}}
work as it should.
