How to solve an ODE in Sturm-Liouville form

I am attempting to solve the following ODE:



$frac{d}{dz} bigg[F'(z) bigg(frac{z-1}{z}bigg)^2bigg] = frac{2(z-1)F(z)}{z^4}$



with the conditions that both $F(z)$ and $F'(z)$ approach 0 as $z$ approaches $pm infty$.



I have tried integrating both sides over different domains but nothing has worked so far.

          Your given equation has the structure $$(F'(z)u(z)^2))'=u(z)v(z)F(z)$$ with $u(z)=frac{z-1}z=1-frac1z$ and $v(z)=frac{2}{z^3}$. This expands under the product rule to (wherever $u(z)ne 0$, $zne 0$) $$F''(z)u(z)+2F'(z)u'(z)=v(z)F(z).$$ Now you will also find the terms on the left side in the second derivative of a product,
          $$
          (F(z)u(z))''=F''(z)u(z)+2F'(z)u'(z)+u''(z)F(z)=(u''(z)+v(z))F(z)
          $$

          and with $u''(z)=-frac{2}{z^3}$ one gets $u''(z)+v(z)=0$ so that
          $$
          F(z)frac{z-1}z=Az+B.
          $$

          But $$F(z)=frac{Az^2+Bz}{z-1}$$ has no non-trivial solutions with $F(pminfty)=0$, so that for the given conditions $F(z)=0$ is the only solution.
