I think that's right though I'm not actually sure how to prove it (I note that
{x,x2} is a basis for the solns of
dx3d3y=0 and that seems the only possible DE it *could* work for - I think).
But then how do you find the Wronskian of a single function? I've only ever seen it defined for > 2. By determinant theory, I would have thought that
W[x2]=x2 which is never zero over, say,
[1,2] so by that argument it *would* be the basis for an homogeneous ODE, if I'm reading Theorem 3-6 right.
