Given a differential equation $$xy''+y'+xy=0$$. I have to find the number of linearly independent solutions about $x=0$. My attempt is to find the Wronskian at $x=0$ which is infinity. I cannot understand how to proceed.

    This is a well-studied DifEq and has solution $y(x) = c_1 J_0(x) + c_2 Y_0(x)$ in terms of Bessel Functions. You can show this, e.g., by supposing $y$ is analytic and working with the power series. Knowing this, you should get two linearly independent solutions.

    Another thing to try (if you do not know about Bessel functions) is series solution of the DE.
