xy′′+y′=(xy′)′=y  if y=x^w  ⇒ (w)^2 .x^(w−1) =x^w  which is impossible for w∈R  so the only way to continue would be  to assume w=w(x)  y=x^(w(x)) ⇒(w.x^w )′=x^w [w′(1+ln x)+w^2 /x]=x^w   w′(1+lnx)+(w^2 /x)=1  w′(x+xlnx)+w^2 =x  homogeneus solution:  w′(x+xlnx)+w^2 =0  (1/w_h ^2 ) dw_h  = ((−1)/(x(1+lnx)))dx  −(1/w_h ) = − ln(1+lnx)  w_h =(1/(ln(1+lnx)))    Note: for the eq to have the structure  mention as φ(x) the eq should be  x^2 y′′+xy′−y=0
