SynopsisThis paper deals with the nature of movable singularities of solutions of Emden's equationat which the solution becomes infinite. If m = 1 + 2/p with p > 1 an integer, then the solution becomes infinite at a given point x = c asBy the general theory of P. Painlevé on movable poles of solutions of non-linear second order differential equations this ‘pseudo-pole’ cannot actually be a pole of order p. Instead of a bona fide Laurent series at x = c we obtain a series expansion of the formwhere Pn(t) is a polynomial in t of degree at most [n/(2p + 2)]. The object of this paper is to derive these series and to prove convergence for p = 2. In this case deg [P6m] is strictly equal to m. For other values of p, see Section 8, Addenda.
