In this study, we consider and analyze inhomogeneous Whittaker-type differential equation of the form d2y(x)dx2+1xdy(x)dx−α2x2−β2y(x)=g(x), where α and β are given parameters. We investigate the analytical structure of its solution through the application of the Whittaker integral representation. The analysis encompasses both initial value problems (IVPs) and boundary value problems (BVPs), wherein appropriate conditions are imposed within a unified analytical framework. Furthermore, a systematic methodology is developed for constructing explicit solutions within the framework of Whittaker function theory. This approach not only elucidates the functional behaviour of the solutions but also provides a foundation for extending the analysis to more general classes of second-order linear differential equations.
