Frobenius & Special Functions · Hard problem

The equation xy′′+2y′+xy=0xy'' + 2y' + xy = 0 has indicial roots 00 and −1-1 at x=0x = 0. Let y(x)y(x) be the Frobenius series solution for the root r=0r = 0, normalised by a0=1a_0 = 1. Find the exact value of y(π/6)y(\pi/6) by summing the series in closed form.
