How to solve the following ODE with a parameter?
I am considering the following ODE
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
&\frac{d^2}{dy^2}u + \frac{\alpha}{(1+y^2)^{\frac{r}{2}}}u = \delta(y)\\
&\lim_{|y|\to \infty}u(y) = 0.
\end{split}

Singularity of inverse exponential integral function
The exponential integral function is defined by
$$ Ei(z) = \int_{-\infty}^z dw \frac{e^w}{w} \,.$$
Away from the negative real axis the exponential integral function has a Taylor series about $z=0$:
$$...
