For an n-vector x = (xi) and n × n matrix A = (aij) with complex elements, let |x|2 = Σi|xi|2,|A|2 = ΣiΣj|aij|2. Also, M(A), m(A) denoteℜλ1,ℜλn, respectively, where λ1,…,λA are the eigenvalues of A arranged so that ℜλ1 ≥ … ≥ ℜλn. Throughout this paper A(t) denotes a matrix whose elements aij(t) are complex valued Lebesgue integrable functions of t in (0, T) for all T > 0. Then M(A(t)), m(A(t)) are also Lebesgue integrable in (0, T) for all T > 0. The characteristic exponent μ of a non-zero solution x(t) of the n × n system of differential equationscan be defined, following Perron ((12)), aswhere ℒ denotes lim sup as t → + ∞. When |A(t)| is bounded in (0,∞), μ is finite; in other cases it could be ± ∞.

We consider a system of differential equations1where 0 = (o, o) is an isolated singular point. Thus, there exists B > o such that S(0, B) contains only one singular point. Here, S(0, B) denotes a sphere centered at 0 with radius B. We shall denote the boundary of S(0, B) by ∂ S(0, B).

We consider a system of differential equations of second order given by1(' = d/dt) where P and Q have continuous first partial derivatives with respect to x and y in some open and simply connected set R containing O = (0, 0) which we assume to be the only singular point in R. In fact, let R be the whole plane; for if not then the following discussion can be modified.

We consider here singular differential operators, and for convenience the finite singularity is taken to be zero. One operator discussed is the operator L defined by where q 0 > 0 and the coefficients q t are real, locally Lebesgue integrable functions defined on an interval (a, b). For a given positive, continuous weight function h, conditions are given on the functions qi for which the number of linearly independent solutions y of L(y) = λhy (Re λ = 0) satisfying.

1. Introduction. Consider the (vector, n-component) system of differential equations1,where f(x) is of class C1. Let Ω denote a set of points, x, consisting of unrestricted solution paths x(t), so that the x(t) exist and lie in Ω for — ∞ < t < ∞.

The subject of this paper is the use of the theory of Schwartz distributions and approximate identities in studying the functional equationThe aj’s and b are complex-valued functions defined on a neighbourhood, U, of 0 in Rm, hj. U → Rn with hj(0) = 0 and fj, g: Rn → C for 1 ≦ j ≦ N. In most of what follows the aj's and hj's are assumed smooth and may be thought of as given. The fj‘s, b and g may be thought of as the unknowns. Typically we are concerned with locally integrable functions f1, … , fN such that, for each s in U, (1) holds for a.e. (almost every) x ∈ Rn, in the sense of Lebesgue measure.

This paper completes an investigation, of which the first part has already been published, into the integrals of a Hamiltonian system which are formally developable about a singular point of the system. Letbe a system of differential equations of which the origin is a singular point of the first type, i.e. a point at which H is developable in a convergent Taylor series, but at which its first derivatives all vanish. We suppose that H does not involve t, and we consider only integrals not involving t. Let the exponents of this singular point be ± λ1, ± λ2,…±λn. In Part I, I considered the case in which the constants λ1,…λn are connected by no relation of commensurability, i.e. a relation of the formwhere A1…An are integers (positive, negative or zero) not all zero, and showed that the equations (1) possess n, and only n, integrals not involving t which are formally developable as power series in the xk, yk. In this paper I consider the case in which λ1 … λn are connected by one or more relations of commensur-ability. Suppose that there are p, and only p, such relations linearly independent (p > 0): it will be shown that the equations (1) possess (n − p) independent integrals not involving t, formally developable about the origin and independent of H.

I. Introduction.—Consider a Hamiltonian system of differential equationswhere H is a function of the 2n variables qi and pi involving in general also the time t. For each given Hamiltonian function H the system (1.1) possesses infinitely many absolute and relative integral invariants of every order r = 1,…, 2n, which can all be written out when (1.1) is integrated. Our interest now is not in these integral invariants, which are possessed by one Hamiltonian system, but in those which are possessed by all Hamiltonian systems. Such an integral invariant, which is independent of the Hamiltonian H, is said to be universal.
