DSolve[(a + b*Sinh[x]^2)*y[x] + y''[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> C[1]*MathieuC[(-2*a + b)/2, b/4, I*x] - C[2]*MathieuS[(-2*a + b)/2, b/4, I*x]}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(diff(diff(y(x),x),x)+(a+b*sinh(x)^2)*y(x) = 0, y(x))
Maple raw output
[y(x) = _C1*MathieuC(1/2*b-a,1/4*b,I*x)+_C2*MathieuS(1/2*b-a,1/4*b,I*x)]
