SummaryIn the system of two linear partial differential equations of the second ordera,…,f were supposed to be polynomials in x, and a1…, f1 polynomials in y. These polynomial coefficients were subjected to certain restrictions, including conditions for the system having exactly four linearly independent solutions, and conditions for preserving the symmetrical aspect, in x and y, of the system. It has been proved that any compatible system of the contemplated form whose coefficients satisfy the stipulated conditions is equivalent with, i.e. transformable into, a hypergeometric system. More particularly it has been shown that the hypergeometric systems involved are the system of partial differential equations associated with Appell's hypergeometric function in two variables F2 and the confluent systems arising herefrom.
