SynopsisGiven an ordinary linear differential equation whose singularities are isolated, a solution is called multiplicative for a closed path C if, when continued analytically along C, it returns to its starting-point merely multiplied by a constant. This paper first classifies such paths into three types, then investigates combinations of two such paths, in which a number of qualitatively different situations can arise. A key result is also given relating to a three-path combination. There are applications to special functions and Floquet theory for periodic equations.

The present memoir deals with the covariantive forms associated with the general ordinary linear differential equation; it is strictly limited to the consideration of those forms, without any discussion of their critical character. The most general transformation, to which such equation can be subjected without change of linearity or of order, is one whereby the dependent variable y is transformed to u by a relation y = uf(x) .

The project is meant to create an equation that can be used to estimate the amount of organic pollutant – bacteria - that is present in a swimming pool per day from rainwater. This equation is derived through a differential equation of the rate in minus the rate out. The created differential equation is an ordinary linear differential equation and is solved using an integration factor. The general solution is then converted into a specific equation using an initial condition. The resulting equation provides an approximate number of organic contaminants x(t) present in the pool after an amount of time in days (t). The equation finds that the pool – during its closure – has been cleaned often enough. It also provides a method to estimate the amount of contamination from rain after any other extended closures.

SynopsisThis paper presents a generalisation of earlier results on the dimension of the space of integrable-square solutions of the ordinary linear differential equation Su = λTu, where S and T are formally symmetric ordinary differential operators and λ is a spectral parameter.
