Solution:
a) Since we are looking for solution for r > 0, by multiplying (1) with (r2) we will get:
( 2)
But there is a property of Dirac function (distribution) which states that:
( 3)
For we will have
( 4)
and (2) becomes:
( 5)
This is an Euler ordinary differential equation (ODE) which can be solved by looking for solutions of form:
( 6)
By differentiation, we get:
( 7)
and by introducing in (5), one yields:
( ...
