DSolve[-((1 + x^2)*y[x]) - 4*x*y'[x] + (1 - x^2)*y''[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (2*C[1] - I*E^((2*I)*x)*C[2])/(2*E^(I*x)*(-1 + x^2))}}
Maple raw input
dsolve((-x^2+1)*diff(diff(y(x),x),x)-4*x*diff(y(x),x)-(x^2+1)*y(x) = 0, y(x))
Maple raw output
[y(x) = _C1/(x^2-1)*sin(x)+_C2/(x^2-1)*cos(x)]
