Using reduction of order method given that one solution is
ode:=(2*x^3-a)*diff(diff(y(x),x),x)-6*x^2*diff(y(x),x)+6*x*y(x) = 0; dsolve(ode,y(x), singsol=all);
ode=(2*x^3-a)*D[y[x],{x,2}]-6*x^2*D[y[x],x]+6*x*y[x]==0; ic={}; DSolve[{ode,ic},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
from sympy import * x = symbols("x") a = symbols("a") y = Function("y") ode = Eq(-6*x**2*Derivative(y(x), x) + 6*x*y(x) + (-a + 2*x**3)*Derivative(y(x), (x, 2)),0) ics = {} dsolve(ode,func=y(x),ics=ics)
