Indeed the power series expansion of the Airy function solution to this equation is known analytically at all order. Similarly if the solution turns out to be hypergeometric etc. then I would say it is closed form. Maybe my use of "closed form" is not correct but I really mean that the solution would at least be known at all orders of its power series expansion. If instead, there is no general way of finding at least all orders for an artbirary $M(t)$, then I would say there is no closed form. | |
