How to re-index summation bounds in mupad

1 view (last 30 days)
I am attempting to find the series solution to and ODE with mupad and I am trying to make mupad reindex the bounds on the solution when trying to substitute n=n-1 or n=n-2 several steps in and change the starting bound by + 1 in the derivative of the assumed solution
y = x^m*sum(a(n)*x^n, n=0..infinity) , for example when m = 0 the a(0) term should disappear in y' thus changing the bounds from n=0..infinity to n=1..infinity.
I can change the bounds using subs a couple of times but is there a way for mupad to change the bounds when taking the derivative of y and re-index the bounds and exponents when necessary
If anybody knows how to accomplish this your efforts would be appreciated, thank you.

The MuPAD operation subsop can be used to alter the bounds. I don't think there is any direct MATLAB interface to this, however.
