Hello all, I am wondering if anyone knows how to impose a finite value boundary condition to solve an ordinary differential equation? Specifically, suppose that the solution Maple obtains to an ordinary differential equation is y(x)=-2*x^2+C1*ln(x), C1 being a constant. Given that y(x) must be finite when x=0, then C1 has to be zero. Is there a way to implement this condition when setting up to solve the ODE in Maple, i.e. dsolve({ODE, ICs}, y(x), options)? Many thanks for your help!
