Abstract We answer some questions in a paper by Kaneko and Koike [‘On modular forms arising from a differential equation of hypergeometric type’, Ramanujan J.7(1–3) (2003), 145–164] about the modularity of the solutions of a certain differential equation. In particular, we provide a number-theoretic explanation of why the modularity of the solutions occurs in some cases and does not occur in others. This also proves their conjecture on the completeness of the list of modular solutions after adding some missing cases.

AbstractThe modular transformation behavior of theta series for indefinite quadratic forms is well understood in the case of elliptic modular forms due to Vignéras, who deduced that solving a differential equation of second order serves as a criterion for modularity. In this paper, we will give a generalization of this result to Siegel theta series.

SynopsisThe asymptotic expansions of solutions of a class of linear ordinary differential equations of arbitrary order n are investigated for large values of the independent variable z in the complex plane. Solutions are expressed in terms of Mellin-Barnes integrals and their asymptotic expansions are subsequently determined by means of the asymptotic theory of integral functions of the hypergeometric type. Three classes of solutions are considered: (i) solutions whose behaviour is either exponentially large or algebraic for |z|→∞ in different sectors of the z-plane, (ii) solutions which are even and odd functions of z when the order n of the differential equation is even and (iii) solutions which are exponentially damped as |z|→∞ in a certain sector of the z-plane.

The polynomials which satisfy linear differential equations of the second order and of the hypergeometric type have been the object of extensive work, and very few properties of them remain now hidden; the student who seeks in that direction a subject for research is compelled to look, not after these functions themselves but after generalisations of them. Among these may be set in first place the polynomials connected with a differential equation of the third order and of the extended hypergeometric type, of which a general theory has been given by Goursat. The number of such polynomials of which properties have been studied in particular is rather small; in fact, Appell's polynomialsand Pincherle's polynomials, arising from the expansionsare, so far as I know, the only well-known ones. To show what can be done in these ways, I shall briefly give the definition and principal properties of some polynomials analogous to Pincherle's and of some allied functions.

The present paper is based on a method attributed to Euler of expressing as a continued fraction the logarithmic derivate of a solu tion of a linear differential equation of the second order. The method is particularly applicable to equations of hypergeometric type, and, in that connection, was previously employed by the present author as a means of adding to the number of known transformations of continued fractions.
