These days, I am struggling with following ODE problem when I build up my research model:
1/2f''(x)+a(b - x) f'(x) -(c+ e^{A+Bx})f(x)=0 where f(x) is a smooth function, and $a,b,c, A,B$ are all constants. How to get the closed form of f(x)?
I tried the Laplace transform to work on it, say $F(s) = L(f(x)) $, but because of $e^{A+Bx}$, there will be a term $F(s-B)$ in the transformed equation. How to deal with this term?
I also tried the power series method, but got some very complicate coefficients, which stops me going further.
I think the term $e^{A+Bx}$ is the difficult part.
Could anyone here tell me how to deal with this kind of problem? Does the solution exit? I tried several ODE books but cannot find similar examples. Or could any one can suggest some relevant books?
Thank you very much.
