I've reported this problem to Maple many years ago but still not fixed in Maple 2025.

Maple not able to verify its own solution on some series solutions using odetest.

Any one can suggest a workaround one can use other than odetest to verify ode solution when using series? Or have an idea why this happens?

The solution is correct but for some reason odetest returns FAIL 

Below is one example of many I have

ode:=x*diff(y(x),x$2)+y(x)=0;
IC:=y(0)=1;
maple_sol:=dsolve([ode,IC],y(x),'series');
odetest(maple_sol,[ode,IC],'series','point'=0);

x*(diff(diff(y(x), x), x))+y(x) = 0

y(0) = 1

y(x) = c__1*x*(series(1-(1/2)*x+(1/12)*x^2-(1/144)*x^3+(1/2880)*x^4-(1/86400)*x^5+O(x^6),x,6))+ln(x)*(series(-x+(1/2)*x^2-(1/12)*x^3+(1/144)*x^4-(1/2880)*x^5+O(x^6),x,6))+(series(1-(3/4)*x^2+(7/36)*x^3-(35/1728)*x^4+(101/86400)*x^5+O(x^6),x,6))

Warning, unable to compute series necessary to test the given solution
