Let f be transcendental and meromorphic in the plane and let the non-homogeneous linear differential polynomials F and G be defined by where k,n ∈ N and a, b and the aj, bj are rational functions. Under the assumption that F and G have few zeros, it is shown that either F and G reduce to homogeneous linear differential polynomials in f + c, where c is a rational function that may be computed explicitly, or f has a representation as a rational function in solutions of certain associated linear differential equations, which again may be determined explicitly from the aj, bj and a and b.

In Mathematische Annalen, Vol. 32 (1888) Peano discusses the solution of a system of homogeneous linear differential equationswhere rij denotes a real function of the variable t, and shows how, by a series of repeated substitutions, this system of equations may be replaced by the equivalent equationwhere X denotes the complex [x1, x2, … xn] and R the matrixof which equation the solution X can be represented as a sum of integrals.

This chapter introduces the reader to linear differential polynomials. It first considers homogeneous differential polynomials and the corresponding linear operators before proving various basic results on them. In particular, it describes the property of a linear differential operator over a differential field K of defining a surjective map K → K, along with the transformation of a system of linear differential equations in several unknowns to an equivalent system of several linear differential equations in a single unknown. The chapter also discusses second-order linear differential operators, diagonalization of matrices, differential modules, linear differential operators in the presence of a valuation, and compositional conjugation. It concludes with an analysis of the Riccati transform and Johnson's Theorem.

The solution of a system of simultaneous homogeneous linear differential equations with constant coefficients has been obtained (1) in the formwhere the elements of the vector Z are the k functions determined by the system and their derivatives of order up to m – 1, where m is the order of the system. If Zn is the value of Z at t = n, then

Consider the wth order scalar ordinary differential equationwith pr ∈ C([0, ∞) → R ) . The purpose of this paper is to establish the following:DECOMPOSITION THEOREM. The solution space X of (1.1) has a direct sum Decompositionwhere M1 and M2 are subspaces of X such that(1) each solution in M1\﹛0﹜ is nonzero for sufficiently large t ﹛nono sdilatory) ;(2) each solution in M2 has infinitely many zeros ﹛oscillatory).

This paper is devoted to studying the growth of solutions of second-order nonhomogeneous linear differential equation with meromorphic coefficients. We also discuss the relationship between small functions and differential polynomialsL(f)=d2f″+d1f′+d0fgenerated by solutions of the above equation, whered0(z),d1(z),andd2(z)are entire functions that are not all equal to zero.
